adjust the angle(it will keep stable at the angle you adjust)

This DIY only cost me ¥3.00 to buy the stick(the middle one, i have other components originally), when i finish it, i feel proud, it's very simple but useful, isn't?

Personally i prefer to roof bounce my flashlights if i need a brighter desk.

(Also 3 hours is not long enough for you to call it something that no one likes, there are some people in the world who are still asleep :shrug:)

this is similar, cost $3 on Dinodirect.com (the following picture IS NOT HOTLINKED!):

it looks like a counterfeit of the gorillapod but seriously wtf cares
why pay 25$ if you can get for 3$.

the flashlight clamp to fit on the counterfeit is also available from that site.

One advantage to steel-walled cells is that they often stick to magnets through the flashlight. I got through a power outage by sticking flashlights to my lamps or walls. It's funny-looking to have a flashlight 'hovering' on a button-size powerful magnet stuck to a stud nail in the wall ;)

My warm Q mini AA is an incredible tool for lighting up artifacts on a bookshelf!! WOW!! it reflects down off white 'ceiling' under top shelf
I spend hours each day evening basking in that warm glow :devil: I may buy ANOTHER!! HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's another option that's free, fits in a wallet, somewhat aimable, and can either diffuse or retain the hot spot:

I personally use a Zebralight H501w headlamp when working at the table, soldering and whatever I like the creativity of yours and I'm sure it's useful.

can't see the picture. but the reason why i do this is because i see somebody else tied his torch to a vertical metal stick with a rope. i feel it's funny when i see that picture, not only that method isn't solid, but the torch is easy to get to spend, and at the same time it's hard to adjust the angle. so i work this structure out at last free weekend, it's easy to adjust tha angle as a table lamp and won't hurt the torch,at the same time wood products are more friendly, isn't it?
( iam a R & D engineer, this work can't be more easy for me)

If your flashlight has a clip, you can use it as a table lamp without buying or making anything.

clip on the clothes? but a real table lamp is more helpful when you work long time with it!
