ABSTRACT:
A multi-function portable illuminating device in which plural lamps, such as a spotlight, a fluorescent light and a strobe light, are disposed within a housing and are selectively connected to a rechargeable battery. The battery may be charged by conventional charging current generators which may be connected to a charging circuit within the housing or, alternatively, solar cells disposed within the housing may be used to supply a charging current to the battery. Advantageously, the housing is waterproof; and a remote switching device is used to select one of the lights for illumination. Preferably, the remote switching device is formed of plural magnetic reed switches and one or more magnets which may be moved to proximity with a selected one of the switches, thereby completing a circuit to a respective light.
