Agreed.  Some of those ads over there are pretty disgusting.

 :lol_hitting: I've found that the ads that show up on these forums are usually ads that are targeting people who've searched for similiar in the past. There must be a lot of those LGQTV bois over there.  :lol_hitting:

Thanks, UB!

Next time I do yard work I'm gonna clip the light onto my belt while I do my chores. Give the idea a real world test. I'll let you guys know how it works out.   :93:

Slick handle setup, I like it!

Love the decor. The furniture reminds me very much of a steak restaurant cigar lounge I used to frequent back in the day. After dinner you could relax with a drink and cigar in beautiful leather chairs, sofas and recliners and the walls were mahogany wood paneling.

Love your place OGC!

Just signed up myself Terry -- good job tackling this "Bear" of a problem.

Adding a folding handle wasn't too hard - I thought. Not wanting to cut or damage the light in any way I had to disassemble it and figure out how to add the handle to the existing structure. Finally settled on making some stainless steel straps that would interface with the carrying strap mounts, then attach the wire handle to it. Figured I'd then add a belt clip attachment like I'd already done.

....But then I thought, "What if I could incorporate a hanger into the wire handle? Kill two birds with one stone". That took some doing. Finally settled on a loop end in the wire handle to hook onto a belt clip. Will work right or left hand, when folded out of the way it gives plenty of hand clearance, with a rubber grip ta boot. Made from a 5-gallon paint bucket handle it will surely handle the weight with a stick cell. I might still add a coiled wire stiffener near the end loop and paint it. We'll see how it goes. And if the belt clip thingy doesn't pan out I have another wire handle prepped with no added loop. So, I think I'm covered. Worst comes to worst it doesn't hold up or the ABS mounts break. Then I'm back to a mutt light that works anyway. So no prob!

Here is the result:
