Abstract
A light comprises: a light body and a light source supported by the light body; and a tail cap assembly including one or more actuators configured for actuating one or more electrical switch contacts internal to the light body for energizing the light source. The tail cap assembly may include a housing shell defining one or more cantilevered supports extending from the housing shell with the one or more actuators at respective ends thereof. The tail cap assembly may further include a resilient material for sealing the housing shell while leaving the actuators flexibly cantilevered. Alternatively and/or additionally, the light may include a mode selecting face cap that is rotatable on the light body for selecting operating modes, including OFF, and or a laser light source having two adjusting screws at an acute angle to each other.
