A flashlight with a sidelight structure is provided and is for use in illumination in dim environments or at night. A sidelight is peripherally disposed at a predetermined position on the flashlight and emits light in a second direction different from the direction of light emitted from a frontlight of the flashlight such that, depending on the required direction of irradiation, a user presses a frontlight switch to turn on the frontlight or presses a sidelight switch to turn on the sidelight. Therefore, the flashlight provides illumination broadly and flexibly.

1. A flashlight with a sidelight structure, comprising a hollow-cored gripping portion, a battery holding unit insertable into the gripping portion, a frontlight unit disposed at a front end of the battery holding unit, a reflector insertedly disposed around the front end of the battery holding unit, and a transparent cap rotatably fastened to an external thread at a front end of the gripping portion, wherein at least a sidelight is disposed laterally at a predetermined position on the battery holding unit, wherein a through-hole corresponding in position to the at least a sidelight is peripherally disposed at the gripping portion and thus receivingly coupleable to a transparent sidelight cover, wherein upper and lower holes are peripherally disposed at the gripping portion, opposite to the through-hole, and receivingly coupleable to a frontlight switch and a sidelight switch for controllably switching between ON/OFF of a frontlight source and a sidelight source,wherein a user selectively presses the frontlight switch to turn on a frontlight or presses the sidelight switch to turn on a sidelight in accordance with an intended direction of irradiation, such that the flashlight provides illumination broadly and flexibly. 2. The flashlight with a sidelight structure as recited in claim 1, wherein a space in communication with an inside of the gripping portion is defined peripherally at the gripping portion, positioned at a predetermined position, and adapted to hold a ventilation unit for discharging appropriately heat generated as a result of operation of the flashlight. 3. The flashlight with a sidelight structure as recited in claim 1, wherein recognition labels indicative of forward and sideward directions of intended irradiation are disposed on the frontlight switch and the sidelight switch disposed laterally on the gripping portion, respectively.
