Subject: Homemade Handlebar Mount for 3W Cree LED Flashlight from Lowe's
|
I designed and fabricated an inexpensive handlebar mount for the 3W Cree
LED Flashlight from Lowe's. It uses hardware available at most any
hardware store, and takes just a few minutes to make. It's based on
steel conduit clamps. I think it will work best for the flashlight being
beneath the bars.
I have the details and photos up on the bicycle lighting web site, in
the section on flashlights.
Type "bicycle flashlight" into the Google Search Bar on the main Google
page, then click on "I'm Feeling Lucky" and it'll take you directly there.
Hope this helps someone,
Steve

that looks like a great setup. i noticed that you have the flashlight
mounted under the bars, which was another option i was considering.
how is that working out--is it stable? do you get any of the throwing-
the-road-surface-into-relief effect?

I just built this bracket today, and have not done any night riding with
it yet, so I can't say. I wanted it underneath because it's less clutter
on the bars.

I used plastic clamps that are used for holding hydraulic hoses in
place. The one inch ones are perfect for handlebars.

I see those clamps on page 1448 of "http://www.mcmaster.com/".
I guess you could use one on the handlebars and one on the flashlight,
and fasten them together somehow.
