Cheapest Flashlights Money can buy ( There About's )

[Hoop]

Cool thread. I've been looking at cheap plastic lights like these lately, as potential modding hosts. Being plastic, you can easily cut holes and slots in them, and hot glue stuff in there. That light with the 5x optic and side COB looks like it has potential.

Should have room for a 18650 carrier to be slotted into the body for a externally loaded battery .
That way you can remove the battery when not in use and easily load a battery for use .
A plan for when the weather cools .. ( Way too many hot days )

I always keep a light in my bicycle bag that I can hold with my teeth. The $4 Rayovac two AA is good for that.
