Default DIY - light for pins

My sight is not the kind that was made to take a light to light up the fiber optic dots but it does have slots where one could theoretically be attached. Does anyone know of a Do It Yourself (DIY) light that you can jimmy-rig onto a sight for this?

Thanks!

Nobody? If nobody on here has ever heard of it I'll assume it doesn't exist...

I made one for my bow, but I don't have a pic of it here. I just used sheet metal, bent it how I wanted, and sprayed it flat black. It works real well. If I can think of it tonight I will take a pic and post it for ya.

If you can't find one made to screw into your sight, then you could do like I did. I found a tiny blue light with a snaking head that I attached to my bow and positioned in place behind the fiber optic wire on my one pin sightwith some duck tape. Works like a charm in the blind in dark conditions and doesn't cast a lot of light off to spook deer.

Mine is a regular sight pin light, I just made the bracket because my sight didn't have a place to mount it.
