An electrical device, such as a flashlight includes an on-off switch that is movable between a maintained actuated position and a maintained unactuated position. The device has a body containing an electrical assembly that includes a power source, a switch, and an actuated member, such as a light. The switch includes a first conductor attachable to a first terminal of the power source. The switch member includes a switch portion that has a generally sheet-like portion that is disposed adjacent to the second terminal of the power source. The sheet-like portion includes a deformable central portion surrounded by a retained perimeter. The deformable portion is movable between a maintainable actuated position wherein it contacts the second terminal of the power source, and a maintained unactuated position wherein it is spatially separated from, and not in contact with, the second terminal of power source
A maintained switch assembly for use with an electrical device having an electrically powered member and a power source having a first terminal and a second terminal, the switch assembly being movable between a maintained “on” position and a maintained “off” position, the switch assembly comprising:
An electrically powered device comprising a body having a length, a width smaller than the length, a depth smaller than the width, and a pliable cover;
