초록 ▼

A flashlight in accordance with an aspect of the invention includes an ID module for generating an ID signal indicative of a power mode of the flashlight. In an aspect, the flashlight mates with a removable battery pack that regulates at least one of an output voltage and output current in accordance with the ID signal. In an aspect, the flashlight includes a printed circuit board (PCB) on which the ID module is mounted. In an aspect, the flashlight includes a soft-start module and a bulb, wherein the soft start module increases power to the bulb at a controlled rate when the flashlight is turned on. In an aspect, the flashlight includes a lamp housing having a lens retained by a bezel. The lens includes an axially extending peripheral edge. In an aspect, the flashlight includes a main housing having a lamp housing. A mounting mechanism and mating features are adapted to selectively couple and decouple the main housing and the lamp housing. In an aspect, a flexible conduit connects the main housing and lamp housing. The flexible conduit can be formed in an arc having an apex that lies directly above a center of gravity of the flashlight when the main housing and the lamp housing are coupled, thereby allowing the flashlight to be balanced when the flexible conduit is used as a carrying handle.

1. A flashlight, comprising: a housing having a removable battery pack engaging portion that engages a removable battery pack and including electrical contacts that engage contacts of the battery pack, the engaging portion electrical contacts including at least one power contact and at least one identification contact;a bulb electrically coupled to the at least one power contact through a switch; andan identification module coupled to the identification contact and providing an identification signal indicative of a power mode of the flashlight through the identification contact to the battery pack. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the power mode of the flashlight is a rated voltage of the bulb and the identification signal is indicative of the rated voltage of the bulb. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the identification module includes an electronic component a value of which is indicative of the rated voltage of the bulb. 4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the electronic component is a resistor. 5. The apparatus of claim 4 where the rated voltage of the bulb is any of an average voltage or a RMS voltage. 6. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein the identification module provides the identification signal upon being powered by the battery pack. 7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the housing of the flashlight includes a printed circuit board mounted therein and a connector containing the housing contacts, the printed circuit board having the connector, the identification module and the switch mounted thereon. 8. The apparatus of claim 7 including a filter circuit electrically coupled between the power contact of the flashlight and the bulb, the filter circuited mounted on the printed circuit board. 9. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein the filter circuit includes an LC filter and a free-wheeling diode. 10. The apparatus of claim 8 and further including a fuse mounted on the printed circuit board, the fuse electrically connected in series with the power contact of the flashlight. 11. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein components mounted on the printed circuit board include adhesive applied thereto to secure them to the printed circuit board to enhance drop/impact resistance. 12. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the components to which adhesive is applied include the identification module, switch and connector. 13. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the switch extends laterally through the housing and projects, when in an on position, out of one side of the housing and when in an off position, out of an opposite side of the housing. 14. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the switch extends laterally through the housing and projects, when in an on position, out of at least one side of the housing and when in an off position, out of an opposite side of the housing.
