Abstract
A tubular bodied flashlight may be used on a long-gun or firearm. To enable actuation of a tailcap button of the flashlight in an ergonomic manner, in particular without the operator needing to shift their hands from a firing position on the firearm, a mechanical apparatus may be mounted to the flashlight. The mechanical apparatus may comprise a clamp body for securing the mechanical apparatus to the flashlight and a paddle lever pivotally mounted to the clamp body. The paddle lever is rotatable from an effective position that in use, enables a user to press the paddle lever against the tailcap button to actuate the tailcap button, and a storage position located away from the tailcap button.
