The SwissLite is a relatively common 58mm Victorinox model. It is a 'Classic'  with an LED embedded in the handle. Originally the light was a red LED, however in 2011 Victorinox began shipping a brighter white light LED version.
When it was first introduced (in the US?), the SwissLite was known as the Illuminator.
