Abstract
A miniature LED flashlight is composed of a flashlight assembly and an attachment loop. The attachment loop is configured to require a two-step manipulation for attachment or detachment from a key ring. The flashlight assembly and attachment loop are attached by a snap fit relationship between a projection on one and a recess on the other, and can be readily disconnected by application of a bending force.
