Flashlight clamp/mount

[Mad1]

Does anyone know where I mite find a flashlight mount? for a bike.

Something like this but all metal construction and a little more adjustable.

Or even how I could make my own.

I know lighthound has some but it's not what i'm really looking for.

Thanks.

Try something by Twofish.

Yeah they are the ones lighthound has.

I don't really want to use fabric as it will be a pain to clean the mud out of and it wouldnt be as secure as a metal clamp.

I'll pop down to my local DIY store tomorrow see if I can concoct something.

+1 on Twofish... I use one every day, and love it! (Thanks greenLED!)

As for an all-metal construction... :thinking: I don't think I've seen that. :shrug:

I could make one tell me what size light you need it for (diameter) and I'll pop one together in a week or 2.

There are some threads on that in the Bike Light Thread Index

65535 If you can make one I'd be very interested in it - in fact you should make a run because no offence intended to anyone but the twofish cyclopblock is rubbish for anything the size of a mag 2C, wobbles around like a strobe light when you're riding.

I got this Paul Components unit for $20 and it's the best thing on earth for a C size light:

I got the black one (left) they swivel 360deg vertical & horizontal, very sturdy, compact and effective.

They are no longer in production

I want many of them...

I would buy another 10 even if I never use them just looking at them will give me such a feeling of inner security...

I should have clarified my statement - I use my TwoFish with a 1x123 Aleph light, and it doesn't budge. However, like missionaryman suggested, a large diameter flashlight like a 2C MagLite would have problems staying steady on those. I suppose then, it depends on what light you're using. :shrug:
