A reflector system (5) is secured to the head portion, and the halogen incandescent lamp seated on the body portion. For flashlight operation, the reflector system is fitted over the halogen incandescent lamp, and light from the lamp is directed axially outwardly of the flash lamp; for blinker operation, the entire head portion is pulled upwardly, along with the reflector for a distance, such that the reflector will clear the halogen incandescent lamp (16), thus providing for 360.degree. light radiation--with respect to the axis of the lamp--and essentially directing all light from the halogen incandescent lamp for blinder or warning purposes.
