Abstract
A portable searchlight that can have a plurality of batteries and yet be conveniently held by one hand. The casing is shaped so as to be closely adapted to the shape of the batteries and is constructed from relatively soft materials, at least in the regions between the batteries, so as to provide deformable hand holding areas at those points. Further, the switch for controlling operation of the light is positioned internally of the casing and is operable therethrough.
