Lights for Trike Flag Poles
 
Sorry if this has been discussed. Any one recommend lights to attach to a fiberglass flag pole?

Thanks in advance!

It's not difficult to do a DIY flagpole light holder. All you need is a couple of washers, a short piece of PVC tubing, and o-rings. I cut a short section of 1/2" Schedule 40 PVC irrigation pipe (available in short sections at Home Depot), glued two washers to the ends and added the o-rings to position the light on the flagpole. It works better yet if you have a drill bit the exact size of the flagpole. After I glued the end on, I added a little glue around the opening to the washers and then drilled it out to be the exact size I needed to keep the holder in place and not rotating.
I think it is a nice idea but I really did not end up using them on the flagpole because the flagpole is at an angle and I wanted the lights to point straight ahead and straight back for maximum visibility. Instead I mount mine on a plastic tube and mount the tube on the frame and on a handlebar extender. Rear light mounted on frame shown below.

The frame mount is a $5 "360 degree flashlight holder" available on eBay.
