Abstract: An electrical apparatus with a detachable power supply base, including a power supply base which holds a rechargeable battery and a control circuit on the inside and has two coupling channel bars at the top, and an electrical apparatus having a base and two outward coupling flanges raised from two opposite sides of the base and adapted for detachably coupling to the coupling channel bars of the power supply base to become electrically connected to the battery of the power supply base. The control circuit detects the power level of the battery and shows it through a display for example an indicator light on the outside of the power supply base.

Abstract: A combination searchlight, which includes a searchlight, which has a lamp case covered with a rim and a lens and connected to a lamp case supporting arm thereof at the top of a handle thereof, a carrying strap fixed to the handle and lamp case supporting arm of the searchlight, and a mount fixed to the lamp case supporting arm to carry a compass and a reflecting bar, wherein the rim is fastened to the lamp case through a screw joint and has a plurality of pins perpendicularly extended from the front side thereof and spaced around the periphery for protecting the lens.
