Abstract
A space-saving flashlight is described which has a special reflector. The reflector is elongated and sectioned along a longitudinal plane to take advantage of the non-spherical light distribution of typical light sources. The reflector may be axially spaced from, or folded over the flashlight housing section holding the flashlight power source.
