Received my stand under a week! Problem solved now!
Anyone using these display stands for your collection? FT does sell these with 25mm diameter holes that fit our cigar size lights. Where to find slight better grade, with budget of under $30 and still able to hold ~25 lights?
I couldn't choose between wood or clear finishing, end up ordering both stands to try out. They are well within my budget.
They sold directly from China sites without Paypal option. If anyone needs the link, you may drop me a PM. I cannot show it here as the store specialize with v@ping (+18) contents.
I hope to find a proper way to organize my frequently used lights as they are lying all over my bedroom right now. Need a solution for ease of access but it should be child safe at the same time.
99.999% of residents here do not own a bench drill in their house . I like DIY but working on wood will be tricky without proper tools. Result is not guarantee either. I would prefer to stick to off-the-shelf path for my case.
I use these these little “utility hooks” — most Ace Hardware stores carry them.
along with a “finish washer” over them (bigger than the inner ring, which is made to punch out)
these fit right under the little bolts that hold your light switch cover plates on, and look Ok.
(The switch plate bolt heads are conical; they fit the finish washer’s shape;
the finish washer is big enough to securely cover the hole in the utility hook. Note the middle ring of that hook will tear right out and let the wall switch screwplate bolts pull through it — so you need the finishing washer)
So that puts a hook conveniently out of the way right below each light switch. Add some glow-in-the-dark something and it’s findable after the earthquake.
That works well with these clips on flashlights
(available from various places, black or polished — FT most recently has best price at https://www.fasttech.com/products/1894503
— hat tip for that to Keengeorge in the Deals thread; search that thread for “clip” for more sources)
Those are attached with a split ring — then I hang the lights various places unless I’m carrying the light on a belt loop or backpack D-ring or such.

I had considered doing a project or 2 for the forum, but honestly I don’t want to promise anything, because I have severe spinal arthritis, and I never know when I can get out there and work in the shop or when I will be laid up for days at a time.
I am trying to exercise some social responsibility here. The moment you click on the link, you will see atomizers, juice, etc on their front page. It is fine for us as we are grown ups, but we have to be mindful of what we are sharing online at times. PM incoming.
I found affordable and attractive trade show exhibits at http://www.exhibeportable.com that are highly useful in boosting sales at trade shows, and making a strong customer base for a long run.
