A handheld flashlight has a housing with a handle for accepting a users hand to grip and hold the housing, a first light source positioned in the housing for projecting a beam of light into a distance in front of the user, a second light source positioned in the housing for projecting a beam of light toward a surface proximate the users feet and a tail light positioned in the housing to provide additional visibility of the user to people who approach the user from behind. A switch energizes and deenergizes the lights. A spring biased reel is rotatably mounted in said housing and a leash is wound on the reel and extends from the housing such that a portion of the leash can be extended from the housing and the reel will automatically retract the extended leash portion.
