Abstract: A flashlight device for observing an object in a conduit includes a plurality of lights disposed in a front end of an enclosure in a substantially annular configuration about a viewing aperture extending longitudinally through a central portion of the enclosure, and at least one battery for energizing the plurality of lights. The device allows the person via one hand to illuminate and simultaneously observe an object located at a distal portion of a conduit, while the opposite hand holds a tool that engages the distal object.

Abstract: A flashlight device for observing an object in a conduit includes a plurality of lights disposed in a front end of an enclosure in a substantially annular configuration about a viewing aperture extending longitudinally through a central portion of the enclosure, and at least one battery for energizing the plurality of lights. The device allows the person via one hand to illuminate and simultaneously observe an object located at a distal portion of a conduit, while the opposite hand holds a tool that engages the distal object. An alternative flashlight device includes an enclosure, a plurality of relatively small light bulbs annularly disposed at a first end of the enclosure, a viewing tube centrally disposed and longitudinally extending through the enclosure, and an eyepiece detachably secured to a back end of the enclosure and aligned with the viewing tube. The eyepiece enables a user to amplify a distal object, while illuminating the object to evaluate and ultimately repair or replace the object.
