Abstract
A flashlight having a non-conductive housing, an electric power source, a light source, and two nodes disposed on external surfaces of the non-conductive housing, wherein the flashlight is adapted to allow electric current to flow from the power source through the light source when both of the two nodes are abutted by a user's hand, activating the flashlight without further manipulation required by the user. Inadvertent activation of the flashlight is minimized by including a protruding rib between the nodes or by disposing the nodes on different sides of the flashlight.
