Abstract: A flashlight includes a flashlight body, a lamp, a battery box, at least one battery, a control switch, and a bottom cap. Thus, the flashlight body has a bat-shaped configuration to enhance the outer appearance of the flashlight. In addition, the flashlight body has an elongated shape and the lamp is far spaced from the holding portion of the flashlight body so that the user can hold the holding portion of the flashlight body to push away an object in front of the lamp, thereby facilitating the user inspecting the surrounding situation at a dark place.
