Glove Light

[SCUBA482]

Looking for some ideas on making a glove type adapter to hold my Intova lights...I like the "Goodman Glove" style with the metal handle that I can bolt or strap my lights to, but wondering if anybody has other ideas on making something that can hold lights similar to the above listed glove or the hid type lights used by DIR or cave folks...I'm all ears

I bolted a head holder to a loop of stitched two inch neoprene and Velcro.

I bolted a head holder to a nylon and Velcro and plastic, wrist guard, the rollerblade thumb hole things after taking the palm angular plastic bit out.

I've not been impressed with they way these mounts work. I don't have the Oxycheq light sock, but I have a different brand for an Intova-like light.

Why not? What has been the issues you have had with them?

I can guess the problem is that the light can move around if it is too long or heavy. I have the Oxycheq Light Sock and it works OK for smaller lights but made my own holder for slightly bigger lights.

Here is a link to an older post where I have pictures/description of the first version I made of this type of holder.

Bingo.

Bingo.

If the light is too long the left and right motion is an issue with those socks and that's why I made something different but if the light is shorter but moves around just a little too much due to the nature of the soft fabric for what it's worth there is an easy fix.

Just take a piece of PVC or any heavy plastic and cut it to the size/shape of the top of your hand and thread it on one of the bungees that the Light Sock uses to hold it to your hand. In effect you are just reinforcing the fabric with hard plastic when it lays on the top of your hand.
