A lighting device comprises an elongated assembly forming a water-tight chamber adjacent a first end of the lighting device, where the first end includes a transparent face along a long axis of the elongated assembly. A lighting module, having a first light source and a second light source positioned on opposite ends of the lighting module, is positioned within the water-tight chamber so that the first light source is adjacent to and is configured to project light out the transparent face in a first direction along the long axis of the elongated assembly. The second light source is configured to illuminate along an elongated portion of the elongated assembly, where the elongated portion extends from the water-tight chamber in a second direction along the long axis of the elongated assembly opposite from the first direction, and out translucent circumferential sides of the elongated portion. A button on the module allows one to selectively alternate between the first and second light sources.

1. A lighting device comprising: an elongated assembly forming a water-tight chamber adjacent a first end of the lighting device, the first end including a transparent face along a long axis of the elongated assembly;a lighting module having a first light source and a second light source positioned on opposite ends of the lighting module, the lighting module positioned within the water-tight chamber so that the first light source is adjacent to and is configured to project light out the transparent face in a first direction along the long axis of the elongated assembly, wherein the elongated assembly includes a unitary module housing having circumferential side walls, a closed end, and an opposed open end forming bounds of the chamber, the closed end including the transparent face through which light from the first light source is projected;the second light source configured to illuminate along an elongated portion of the elongated assembly, said elongated portion extending from the water-tight chamber in a second direction along the long axis of the elongated assembly opposite from the first direction, and out translucent circumferential sides of the elongated portion;a water-tight interface coupled within the open end of the module housing and interposed on the long axis between the module housing and the elongated portion of the lighting device, said interface including a transparent wall along the long axis of the elongated assembly and adjacent the second light source; anda button on the module for selectively alternating between the first and second light sources. 2. The lighting device of claim 1, further including a reinforcement member affixed about the open end of the module housing and configured to couple with the water-tight interface. 3. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the water-tight interface includes a threaded portion formed on an exterior circumference of a first end of the interface and a threaded portion formed on an interior circumference of a second end of the interface, the first end mated with a complementary threaded portion formed adjacent the open end of the module housing, and the second end mated with a complementary threaded portion formed on the elongated portion of the elongated assembly. 4. The lighting device of claim 3, wherein a diameter of the exterior circumference of the first end of the interface is equal to a diameter of the interior circumference of the second end. 5. The lighting device of claim 3, further including a metal reinforcement ring affixed about the open end of the module housing, the complementary threaded portion formed adjacent the open end of the module housing being formed within the reinforcement member. 6. The lighting device of claim 1, further including a whistle coupled to a second end of the lighting device and configured to admit light from the second light source therein. 7. The lighting device of claim 1, further including a supplemental light source adjacent the first light source and positioned on the lighting module offset to the long axis of the elongated assembly, said supplemental light sources configured to be activated together with the second light source. 8. The lighting device of claim 7, wherein the supplemental light source includes at least two LEDs spaced from one another about the long axis of the elongated assembly. 9. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the unitary module housing includes a housing button located on the outside of the housing that aligns with the button on the module so that actuating the housing button also serves to actuate the module button so that the lighting device is operated. 10. The lighting device of claim 9, wherein the housing button is configured to resiliently deform under downward pressure to force a hard contact against the aligned button of the lighting module. 11. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein successive actuations of the button operate the device to operate the first light source only, the second light source only, or the second light source in a repeating flash mode. 12. The lighting device of claim 1, further including a power source configured within the lighting module to energize the first light source and second light source. 13. The lighting device of claim 12, wherein the power source is disposed between the first light source and the second light source. 14. A lighting device comprising: a first part defined along a long axis of the lighting device and including a unitary module housing having circumferential side walls surrounding the long axis and a transparent face intersected by the long axis at a terminal end of the device, said side walls and transparent face defining a cavity within the module housing;a second part having a substantially translucent body joined coaxially with the first part to form a water-tight seal therebetween and define the cavity substantially within the first part; andan integrated module installed substantially coaxially within the cavity, the module comprising a power storage part, a first light source configured to direct light in a first direction along an axis of and out the first part, and a second light source configured to direct light in a second direction along an axis into the interior of and out the second part, wherein the first direction and second direction are coaxial and in opposite directions, wherein the second light source and second part are configured so that the substantially translucent body of the second part is illuminated by the second light source along a length and about a circumference of the second part. 15. The lighting device of claim 14, further including a whistle coupled coaxially to one end of the second part and configured, together with the second part, to be illuminated by the second light source. 16. The lighting device of claim 14, further including a reflecting part fixed within the cavity at one end of the first part and surrounding the first light source so that the reflecting part focuses light from the first light source and directs it out the first direction through the transparent face of the module housing. 17. The lighting device of claim 14, further including: an interface joined between the first part and the second part of the lighting device and including a transparent wall along the long axis of the elongated assembly and adjacent the second light source;threaded portion formed on an exterior circumference of a first end of the interface and a threaded portion formed on an interior circumference of a second end of the interface, the first end mated with a complementary threaded portion formed adjacent an open end of the module housing, and the second end mated with a complementary threaded portion formed on an exterior circumference of the second part; anda metal reinforcement ring affixed to an inside diameter of the first part adjacent the open end of the module housing and including the complementary threaded portion to which the interface is joined. 18.
