Abstract
A fluorescent lantern generally comprising a single piece chassis and a cover which removably fits over the rear portion of the chassis. The chassis has a unitary reflector section with a pair of integral sockets for supporting the electrical contacts of a fluorescent lamp. A compartment section for housing the battery and switching mechanism is integrally disposed on the back of the reflector section. When properly mounted in the compartment section, the batteries are electrically connected to the fluorescent lamp through the switching mechanism and the reflector sockets. The switching mechanism is also used to selectively make and break the electrical circuit from the battery to the lamp.
