Abstract: An adapter is shown for a flashlight of the type having a body which contains a light generating source for emitting a light beam, a reflector element, and an associated lens through which the reflected light beams pass along a longitudinal axis generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the flashlight body. The adapter includes an outer flange having an exterior and an interior reflecting surface. A centrally located aperture is provided in the outer flange. A mounting member attaches the adapter to the flashlight body and holds the outer flange inclined to the longitudinal axis of the emitted light, whereby a portion of the emitted light passes through the aperture in the outer flange and a portion of the emitted light is deflected at an angle.
