Anker Rechargeable Bolder LC90 LED Flashlight

 This Anker LC90 is really good for the money. Great Flashlight...but more importantly you can run it as a bike light using the mount recommended in another post just below. I had to shim it with a small piece of plastic from a milk carton but it worked out great. Its a bit larger and heavier than your normal small pocket LED flashlight but its SUPER bright and works really well on the bike. You will surely be seen with this thing.  Verdict: Recommended.  Link:  https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Tactical-Flashlight-Rechargeable-Water-Resistant/dp/B01KH2JP5G

Generic Bike Light Mount

 Bike light mount. These go by several different names and run about $2 - $5 depending where you get them.  I got some of these several years back from China ....probably Aliexpress or whatever.  These work great for mounting small LED Flashlights which i have been running for years as well. I upgraded to a rechargeable ANKER Bolder light. its bigger and heavier than my others but its really nice and a lot brighter. I found that this mount works well. I had to make a small shim out of a milk carton and found that you must run the mount backwards and under the bars to get the center gravity of the light so that it wont tilt down on you as you hit bumps. IT works really well and that setup is still cheaper than any bike specific light. Also...the flahlight can still be used as a flashlight. 

Harbor Freight Picks

These things are fantastic. They are also less than $2.  Very much recommended and very useful. 

Olso Tools Socket Rails

These are Good. Cheap and will hold 1/2 inch impact sockets real well without them falling off. I have not found another  style that will do this. Recommended.
