ABSTRACT:
A multifunction switch for operating a device in a sealed container such as a flashlight includes at least one reed switch mounted at a location on an inner surface of the sealed container. A base plate is provided on an outer surface of the sealed container which has at least three detents. A sliding switch plate having an inner surface is juxtaposed with the outer surface of the base plate. The sliding switch plate inner surface has a securing device for removably securing and retaining the sliding switch in a desired position when the securing device is received by one of the detents. The sliding switch inner surface has at least one magnet mounted therein which operates one or more reed switches when at least one magnet slides over the location of the reed switch. A perimeter face plate is attached to the base plate to hold the sliding switch plate onto the base plate.
