Abstract: A portable light may comprise: a light body; a light source, an electrical switch for selectively energizing the light source, the light body having an opening through which the electrical switch can be actuated. A pivot pin pivotably mounts an actuator having an actuation feature that extends towards the opening for actuating the electrical switch when pivoted towards the light body. The light body has a receptacle in which the pivot pin is removably disposed. A retainer of a resilient material resiliently retains the pivot pin in the receptacle and resiliently deforms for removal of the pivot pin therefrom; whereby the actuator is removable and replaceable on the light body by removing the pivot pin. The light body may have a seal of resilient material in the opening of the light body. A user formable actuator of a curable material may be provided.

Abstract: A mountable light includes a light body and a mounting arrangement including first and second clamping members from a set of pairs of clamping members. The light body has first and second opposing receptacles in which the respective clamping members are respectively removably disposed to move toward and away from each other. One clamping member may be fastened in its receptacle so as to be a fixed clamping member while the other clamping member is movable. A clamping mechanism may move the clamping members closer together to engage a mounting rail or away from each other to release the rail. An interchangeable key member may be provided between the clamping members, and may be selected from a set of interchangeable key members.

Abstract: A switch for a light may comprise: an electrical switch actuatable in a direction transverse to the electrical switch; a switch actuator including: a plunger adjacent the electrical switch movable pivotably for actuating and de-actuating the electrical switch. A flexible boot may move the plunger toward the electrical switch when the flexible boot is pressed. The electrical switch is actuated when the flexible boot is pressed toward the electrical switch or at an angle therebetween. The switch may be adjacent a reference plane surface in a light body of the light.

Abstract: A portable light comprises a light body having a light source and a tail cap assembly. The tail cap assembly includes a tail cap housing and at least one actuator that is pivotably mounted to the tail cap housing spaced away from a centerline of the light, and that extends across the centerline. The actuator has an actuation feature on the opposite side of the centerline that extends for actuating an electrical switch in the light body, whereby the portable light may be actuated over a wide range of angles.

Abstract: A firearm-mountable device having an improved switch assembly is shown and described.

Abstract: A switch for a light may comprise: an electrical switch on a reference plane and actuatable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the reference plane; a switch actuator including a flexible boot disposed at an acute angle relative to the reference plane including: a plunger adjacent the electrical switch movable substantially perpendicular to the reference plane for actuating and de-actuating the electrical switch; and an actuator member between the flexible boot and the plunger movable to move the plunger toward the electrical switch when the flexible boot is pressed. The electrical switch is actuated when the flexible boot is pressed toward the reference plane or parallel to the reference plane or at an angle therebetween. The switch may be adjacent a reference plane surface in a light body of the light.
