Hi all,

I bought an Ultrafire WF-502B a while back and I'm happy with it. I wanted it to be near where I sleep but I didn't want to knock it over if I had to reach for it in an emergency or otherwise. I thought about a wall bracket or putting it in the drawer of my nightstand and a few other ideas but nothing I was happy with. I read in this forum about some of the pros and cons of those places, noisy pulling it off the wall bracket or shuffling around in a drawer, etc.

So I decided to just make a stand that was functional and pleasing. I used a block of wood from a woodcraft store, cut and sanded it to my liking then mounted it to a hefty piece of steel to keep it from falling and finally added a neoprene base to keep it from sliding and from scratching the nightstand.

I was going to post all the pics here but I already have it on my blog...check it out...let me know what you think.

Nicely made stand, and I also like your idea for securing your Maratac AAA to your belt.

As this is a thread of general interest, I'm moving it to the General Flashlights section.

Thanks - I wasn't sure where to post it
 
Wow... great work! I'm in awe of this. Given enough time and some legos, I could make an ugly plastic version of your work of art, but that's about it.

I also liked the waist retention system. I've carried my light in a sheath on my belt for nearly 20 years, but it would be nice to have something different.

Thank you. I've been carrying my Maratac like that for about a month or two now and it's been great. I haven't had any problems...I can't even tell it's there.
 
Very nice work on the stand and nicely documented. I just stand my lights bezel down on my nightstand - I will have to try something better.
