Abstract
A combination flashlight and lantern includes a body having a first axis, an internally reflective flashlight cup surrounding the first axis and a lens covering the cup. An externally reflective cone surrounds the first axis and has an apex through which the first axis passes. A drum is located between the cup and cone and pivots about a second axis that is normal to the first axis. An LED is mounted to the drum and directed radially from the second axis such that in a first orientation of the drum, the LED directed toward the apex of the cone and in a second orientation of the drum, the LED is directed at the lens. In a third orientation of the drum, the LED is directed perpendicularly to the first axis toward the shroud.

A combination flashlight and lantern, comprising:
- a body having a first axis,
- an internally reflective flashlight cup surrounding the first axis,
- a lens covering the cup,
- an externally reflective cone surrounding the first axis and having an apex through which the first axis passes,
- a drum located between the cup and cone and adapted to pivot about a second axis that is normal to the first axis,
- an LED mounted to the drum and directed radially from the second axis such that in a first orientation of the drum, the LED is upon the first axis and directed toward the apex of the cone and in a second orientation of the drum, the LED is upon the first axis and directed at the lens;
- and
- a carriage within the drum and adapted to move linearly within the drum such that in the second orientation of the drum, the LED can move along the first axis into the cup.
