DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A handheld flashlight 10 made in accordance with the principles of the subject invention is depicted in FIG. 118. As shown in FIG. 2, flashlight 10 preferably includes a side cover 12, a power source frame housing 14, a keyring extension 16, a keyring lock 80, a switch button 18, and a light source 20, extending from a front end of the flashlight. As depicted in FIGS. 3 and 4, the flashlight of the subject invention further includes a power source frame 22. The power source frame 22 has oppositely disposed first and second sides 26, 33 that are generally flat and lie in parallel planes. The power source frame 22 further includes a cavity 24 located on the first side 26 of the power source frame adapted to receive a power source, such as that depicted in FIG. 5. The frame 22 also is provided with a receptacle 28 at a front end 30 thereof, adapted to receive a light source, such as that depicted in FIG. 6. The first side 26 further includes a light source lead channel 29 extending from receptacle 28 to cavity 24 to allow a lead from the light source 20 to extend over cavity 24. As depicted in FIG. 3, the power source frame 22 may also include an area 32 adapted to receive a weight. In the embodiment shown in the figures, although not required, the area 32 is a throughhole extending from the first side 22 of the frame to the second side 33 of the frame. Area 32 is tapered at a slight angle to allow the weight to be friction fit within area 32. The power source frame 22 is further provided with a plurality of pegholes 100 positioned about an outer periphery of the first side 26 of the power source frame. The pegholes 100 are adapted to receive a corresponding set of pegs located on the power source frame housing 14. The mating of the pegs with the pegholes positions the power source frame housing 14 in proper alignment with the power source frame 22. The power source frame housing may be ultrasonically welded to the power source frame and/or glued thereto
