Abstract
A combination flashlight/candle lantern with a modified lower base designed to be used with the standard, metallic cover on a candle lantern. The modified lower base has an upper neck designed to selectively attach to the metallic cover. The modified lower base also includes an upward extending cavity and a transversely aligned candle platform designed to receive a tube candle. Formed on the opposite side of the candle platform is a downward extending lower cavity designed to receive a low profile flashlight assembly. The flashlight assembly includes a cylindrical-shaped housing designed to partially extend into the lower base. Located centrally on the housing is a longitudinally extending LED electrically connected to two side-by-side watch batteries. Attached over the lower opening on the housing is a combination lens/switch which, when rotated, controls operation of the LED. The flashlight assembly may also include a bail located on the base member opposite the combination lens/switch. The bail may be disposed in a concealed manner when the flashlight assembly is attached to the lower base, or may allow the separated flashlight assembly to be independently supported from a hook or aimed on a flat surface.
