A waterproof portable lamp () comprises a housing (); a light source () including a plurality of LEDs, a power supply () for said light source () and a switch () for energizing said light source () contained within said housing (). An opening () is formed in said housing () permitting egress of light when said light source () is energized. A flexible, transparent cover () is peripherally sealed to said opening () in a watertight manner and a switch activator () is substantially centrally located on and fixed to said flexible, transparent cover (). The lamp () is activated be depressing the center of the flexible cover (), which moves the switch activator () into contact with the switch ().

A portable light () has a rigid base (), a power supply () having first and second poles () within the base and a light source () positioned in the base (). The light source () has first and second lead-ins (). The first lead-in () is in contact with the first pole () of the power supply (). Electrical isolation means () isolates the second lead-in () from the second pole () of the power supply (); and a flexible cover () is fitted to the base (). The cover () includes at least one portion () that is contactable with the second lead-in () whereby pressure on the at least one portion () defeats the electrical isolation means () and causes a connection between the second lead-in () and the second pole () of the power supply () to actuate the light source () while the pressure is being applied.
