Abstract
A handheld flashlight includes a head that pivots relative to a body. At least two legs pivotally connect to the body at a fixed location along the body, and open into an extended, open or deployed position to support the head in an elevated position. In the closed or handheld flashlight position, the legs form a flashlight handle that is aligned with an illumination direction of the head and is shaped and sized to be held in the hand of an operator. Each of the legs may contain battery source holders for battery sources that connect to each other.
