"  I keep flashlights stored all over the house because we lose power often in our neighborhood, and at least half of the outages occur at night. What&amp;#039;s the best way to store a flashlight so I can find it in the dark? Yep, a flashlight will do you absolutely no good unless you can find it in the dark. The photo above shows the simple setup I use at home. The flashlight holder consists of nothing more than a 1-foot-long piece of 1 x 4 pine with a Maglite D-cell flashlight mounting bracket screwed to it. The brackets are sold by the pair; they have a sure grip, so one suffices for a wall attachment, but you might want to use two if, for instance, you&amp;#039;re hitching a flashlight to the interior of your car, truck or boat. In lieu of the all-purpose screws packaged with the brackets, I used No. 8 3/4-inch round-head wood screws. I affixed the mounting block to the wall with two self-drilling No. 8 2\u00BD-inch wood screws. The rig might appear to be overkill, but it&amp;#039;s merely built to last. Unless you fasten the bracket firmly to the block and the block tightly to the wall, you&amp;#039;ll loosen the holder the first time you remove the flashlight.   I beveled the edge of the wood block, painted it the same color as the wall and applied a stripe of glow-in-the-dark paint on the ends. Two coats of the phosphorescent acrylic create a good beacon, but if I ever install another setup elsewhere in the house, I&amp;#039;d go with three coats for even greater brightnessand ease of finding my way in the dark.
