Abstract
Disclosed is a preferred flashlight device configured for potential use with another item such as a firearm or in activities where some manual dexterity of the hand grasping the flashlight is required. Preferred devices include downwardly-extending light and handle portions, interconnected by a linking member. Preferred devices include movable connections between the light and handle members and the linking member, so that the direction of a beam emanating from the flashlight can be optimized to an activity undertaken while holding the flashlight, for example during a two-handed pistol firing position.
