Re: Onboard Flashlight

Last year we bought a bright outdoor flashlight from BassPro. It had the capability to remove just the head.

We encased it in a tube to contain the side light as much as possible. We used a 12v-5v converter and ran the 6volt light on 5 volts. We used a spike so we could turn it on only while aiming.

It worked well.

(Sorry I don't have the model number)
