Well after building a light from the original DIY stabilizer thread and using it a couple of times I decided I wanted a little bit brighter option. So this is my take on it.
First the flashlight
it's a 200 lumen Ozark Trails flashlight. I bought it at Wally World for about $30.
you need to drill a whole through the side that is on the same side as the button then drill another whole into the body and run your switch through like so.
Since there isn't a strip that connects the positive and negative terminals like the original light you can't clip it but the cap of the flashlight is what actually completes the circuit
You just need to insulate this from the battery terminals so I just used some duct tape and a piece of plastic to prevent the set screw from ripping the tape off.
I then just drilled a whole through the cap and put my stabilizer screw into place this is it mounted to the bow. I used a red permanent marker to color the lens. Seems to work really well, definitely brighter than the last one. Hope to get some LDP's this weekend!
