ABSTRACT:
An illuminating tool includes a flexible core with head and tail end portions, and a pair of wires exposed from the end portions to form central and peripheral head contacts and central and peripheral tail contacts. A first socket member has a first neck end mounted on the tail end portion, and a first socket portion extending axially therefrom to form a proximate inner engaging wall relative to the tail end portion to enclose the central tail contact and a distal inner engaging wall connected conductively to the peripheral tail contact. A barrel housing defines a first axis and accommodates a battery. The barrel housing has a front end, an intermediate wall and a rear end in the form of a mounting seat. A switch member is operable externally along the first axis between a switch-on position, where electrical connection is established between a second electrode of the battery and the barrel housing, and a switch-off position. A bulb is received in a bulb seat that permits plugging and gripping of the head end portion of the flexible core to establish electrical connection between the bulb and the conductive wires.
