Abstract
A disposable, manually operable flashlamp assembly which uses a percussively-ignitable flashlamp. The assembly includes a housing with a tapered end and a tubular light-transmitting end in which is positioned the flashlamp's envelope. The tapered end cocks a spring during insertion of the housing within an orificed base member after which the spring aligns with a recess in the housing. The spring enters the recess to strike a portion of the flashlamp's projecting primer tube, causing the flashlamp to fire.
