1. A flashlight comprising:
- an elongate housing extending along a longitudinal axis and having a forward portion with a forwardly facing surface and a rearward portion;
cooling fins of the forward portion of the elongate housing;
a forwardly facing opening in the forwardly facing surface, the cooling fins disposed at least partially around the opening;
a power source disposed within the housing;
a switch device mounted to the housing;
a LED disposed in the forward end portion of the elongate housing and mounted to project light through the opening, the LED electrically connected to the power source and the switch device so that the LED can be selectively energized;
wherein the LED is mounted within the forward end portion so that the cooling fins dissipate heat generated by the operation thereof.
