Thanks, People. I use a manual chair when I go out because I don't have a lift for my power chair yet. So KC lites and 24V batteries are way too heavy for me to use. It's hard enough pushing myself, since I weigh 285. I'm sure glad for the help. You guys and gals are the best! The best thing about a wheelchair is I'm finally short. When I stood I was 6' 6". But it sure is hard sometime folding the long frame into my little chair. I sometimes feel as if I'm in a contortionist society. The hardest thing to do now is shoot a rifle. I have MSA which causes me to shake a bit... so I have to wait until I slide over the zero and hope it goes off as I pass. At least so far I'm still on paper. Next weekend I'm going deer hunting. I hope its easier than using my grandsons Shooting Pumkins game! There were not any video games when I was a kid(you know a kid really is a baby goat). You feel really OLD when a 4 year old beats you at Shooting Pumpkins. Hope you'all had a great Thanksgiving. Just aso you know I'm really thankful for the members of OSA.

All of the suggestions given are good. When I was in the wheelchair biz I always sent people to the bike section at a larger Walmart because it was cheaper then anything made for a wheelchair.

Ever think about using those maglite mounts? You'd have to devise a way to attach them to the chair (which would be pretty easy with minimal tools).... but the cool part is that you could yank it off and use it as a hand held directional light when needed.

plus this (and maybe a couple of metal plates)

That would enable you to have a D-cell Maglite that would serve triple duty.... Mounted light - Hand torch - bashing stick

Ready made product for cheap... (and I think you can aim it a little)
