A multi-function flashlight device is provided in either an all white light emitting diode (LED) or a colored LED version that allows versatile functionality. The flashlight is fashioned to have an outer housing that includes both an integrated means for interfacing the flashlight with a firearm and a surface thereon that serves as a handgrip. The outer housing of the flashlight is configured to be engaged by a clamping assembly that facilitates integration of the flashlight with standard firearm accessory rail assemblies. The flashlight head includes a high-output white LED positioned centrally within an optical element such as a reflector. Should the flashlight be a colored light, four other positions are provided around the periphery of the lens that contain colored LEDs. The flashlight provides the user the ability to selectively and individually control the mode of operation for all of the LEDs contained therein.

What is claimed: 1. A flashlight comprising: a housing having a first end with a peripheral edge; a reflector received within said first end and bounded by said peripheral edge; a light emitting diode received within the reflector; at least one light emitting diode positioned outside said reflector

What is claimed: 1. A flashlight comprising: a housing having a first end with a peripheral edge; a reflector received within said first end and bounded by said peripheral edge; a light emitting diode received within the reflector; at least one light emitting diode positioned outside said reflector proximate to the peripheral edge of the housing; a power supply disposed within said housing; and a user interface affixed to said housing to allow a user to selectively energize and control a mode of operation of the light emitting diode within the reflector and the at least one light emitting diode at the peripheral edge of the housing. 2. The flashlight of claim 1, wherein said at least one light emitting diode is a plurality of light emitting diodes positioned at the peripheral edge of the housing. 3. The flashlight of claim 2, wherein said plurality of light emitting diodes are spaced apart around the peripheral edge of the housing. 4. The flashlight of claim 2, wherein the light emitting diode within the reflector and the plurality of light emitting diodes at the peripheral edge of the housing are the same color. 5. The flashlight of claim 2, wherein the light emitting diode within the reflector is a first color and the plurality of light emitting diodes at the peripheral edge of the housing are a second color. 6. The flashlight of claim 2, wherein the light emitting diode within the reflector is a first color and the plurality of light emitting diodes at the peripheral edge of the housing are each a different color from the first color and one another. 7. The flashlight of claim 1, wherein the light emitting diode within the reflector and the at least one light emitting diode at the peripheral edge of the housing are the same color. 8. The flashlight of claim 1, wherein the light emitting diode within the reflector is a first color and the at least one light emitting diode at the peripheral edge of the housing is at least one other color. 9. The flashlight of claim 1, the user interface comprising: a rotary selector; and a momentary selector, wherein the rotary selector, in a first position allows the user depress the momentary selector to select which of the light emitting diode within the reflector and the at least one light emitting diode to energize, the rotary selector in at least a second position allows the user to depress the momentary selector to energize the selected light emitting diode in a desired operational mode. 10. The flashlight of claim 9, wherein the rotary selector can be moved to a plurality of positions to allow the user to select a mode from the group consisting of: programming, momentary, strobe, constant on, high brightness and low brightness. 11. The flashlight of claim 1, the user interface comprising: a tape switch having a first button and a second button thereon, wherein the first button provides a first signal to execute a first manner of operation and the second button provides a second signal to execute a second manner of operation. 12. The flashlight of claim 11, wherein the tape switch can toggle the operation of the flashlight to allow the user to select a mode from the group consisting of: programming, momentary, strobe, constant on, high brightness and low brightness. 13. The flashlight of claim 1, the housing further comprising: a mounting platform on an outer surface thereof consisting of two spaced apart raised structures defining a space therebetween; and a belt clip affixed to the mounting platform, wherein the raised structures of the mounting platform and belt clip cooperate to enclose a hole therethrough for attachment of an accessory device. 14. A flashlight comprising: a housing having a first end with a peripheral edge; a reflector received within said first end and bounded by said peripheral edge; light emitting diode having a first color received within the reflector; a plurality of light emitting diodes positioned outside said reflector at the peripheral edge of the housing each having a different color from the first color and from one another; a power supply disposed within said housing; and a user interface affixed to said housing to allow a user to selectively energize and control a mode of operation of the light emitting diode within the reflector and the at least one light emitting diode at the peripheral edge of the housing. 15. The flashlight of claim 14, wherein the colors of the light emitting diode within the first end of the housing and the plurality of light emitting diodes at the peripheral edge of the housing are selected from the group consisting of: white, red, blue, green, ultraviolet and infrared. 16. The flashlight of claim 14, the user interface comprising: a rotary selector; and a momentary selector, wherein the rotary selector, in a first position allows the user depress the momentary selector to select which of the light emitting diode within the first end of the housing and the plurality of light emitting diodes to energize, the rotary selector in at least a second position allows the user to depress the momentary selector to energize the selected light emitting diode in a desired operational mode corresponding to the at least a second position. 17. The flashlight of claim 16, wherein the rotary selector can be moved to a plurality of positions to allow the user to select a mode from the group consisting of: programming, momentary, strobe, constant on, high brightness and low brightness. 18. The flashlight of claim 14, the housing further comprising: a mounting platform on an outer surface thereof consisting of two spaced apart raised structures defining a space therebetween; and a belt clip affixed to the mounting platform, wherein the raised structures of the mounting platform and belt clip cooperate to enclose a hole therethrough for attachment of an accessory device.
