Abstract

A flashlight has a barrel formed with retaining elements located at a front end and a rear end of the barrel, respectively, and spaced from an outer periphery of the barrel. The retaining elements have oppositely facing ends each formed with a lead-in section narrower than the corresponding retaining element. A clipping device having a recessed end is matable with the retaining element at either the front or rear end of the barrel under guidance of the corresponding lead-in section while a projection formed at an opposite end of the clipping device is engageable with a corresponding one of grooves on the barrel. The barrel is concavely formed with a coupling section adjacent to the front end for coupling with resilient claws of an installation seat. Thus, the flashlight can be clipped on a user's clothes or installed on an object so as to provide illumination in a desired direction.
