Abstract

A flashlight holder ring receives the body of a flashlight. The diameter of the head of the flashlight exceeds the diameter of the ring so that the head cannot pass through the ring. An on-off switch housing and guard protrudes from the body of the flashlight and prevents withdrawal of the light from the ring. Registration of a bridge or arch section of the ring with the housing and guard permits freeing the flashlight from the ring. A strap attached to the ring at the bridge provides for attachment to a belt.
