Abstract
A handheld lighting device with a viewing mechanism to inspect a subject through an opening consists of a head portion, a lighting source, a handle, a power source, and a peep hole. To mimic a flashlight, the head portion is terminally connected to the handle. The lighting source is positioned within the head portion. The power source is positioned within the handle and is electrically connected to the lighting source. The peep hole traverses through the handle and the head portion. The lighting source and the power source are configured to be positioned around the peep hole. Thus, the user can utilize the peep hole to observe a viewing area illuminated by the lighting source. To maximize the range of the lighting source, a reflector is positioned within the head portion.

A lighting device with a viewing hole comprising:
- a head;
- a lighting source;
- a handle;
- a power source;
- a peep hole;
- a tapered reflector;
- the handle being removably and terminally connected to the head;
- the lighting source being positioned within the head;
- the power source being positioned within the handle;
- the power source being configured to be electrically connected to the lighting source;
- the head comprising a proximal end, a tapered body and a distal end;
- the tapered body extending from the proximal end to the distal end so as to determine an overall length of the head;
- the tapered reflector being positioned along an inner surface of the tapered body;
- the tapered reflector extending from the proximal end to the distal end;
- the handle comprising a first end, a handle body, a second end and an outer lateral wall;
- the handle body extending from the first end to the second end;
- the second end being removably connected to the proximal end;
- a control switch;
- the control switch being externally mounted onto the outer lateral wall;
- the control switch being electronically connected to the lighting source and the power source;
- a first electrical contact;
- the first electrical contact being terminally connected to the second end;
- the first electrical contact being electrically connected to the power source;
- a second electrical contact;
- the second electrical contact being terminally connected to the proximal end;
- the second electrical contact being electronically connected to the lighting source;
- the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact being removably coupled with each other;
- in response to the second end being connected to the proximal end, the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact directly contacting against each other, such that the power source and the lighting source are electrically connected to each other by the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact being electrically connected to each other;
- the peep hole comprising a handle traversing portion and a head traversing portion;
- the handle traversing portion centrally traversing through the handle from the first end to the second end;
- the head traversing portion centrally traversing though the head from the proximal end to the distal end;
- and
- in response to the second end being connected to the proximal end, the handle traversing portion being concentrically aligned with the head traversing portion, such that the handle traversing portion and the head traversing portion of the peep hole are not visually obscured by the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact.
