ABSTRACT:
A light reflector for a light is disclosed which may be formed by progressive dies to form all electrical contacts from a coil or sheet of the electrically conductive metal. After formation of the contacts and buss work the last stage of the progressive die automatically inserts the buss work on the plastic reflector which is secured by tinnerman type locks formed by the progressive die or by heat staking. The reflector supports a printed circuit card which contains the circuit and switching means. The end result is the elimination of any wiring from the PC Card to the battery and fluorescent tube contacts. The angular mounds direct any misaligned battery contacts to the proper contact area. Trusses formed on their reflector are aligned to support the battery pick-up contacts to avoid contact deflection, and assure proper contact orientation. The switch protrudes from a preformed window in the lantern case after assembly.
