Great flashlight for the BMW R1200RT "glovebox"

[IDisposable]

When I picked up my 2011 R1200RT, I noticed that inside the "glove box" cover, there was a spring clip.  It looked intended to hold a small flashlight.

I checked the BMW accessories, and the parts fiche for all the R-series. No luck. The K1600 has the same clip and that parts fiche showed a flashlight, but no specs...

So I went looking and found the the perfect flashlight for my http://j.mp/FenixF20  It fits the clip in the glove box perfectly.  It's the Fenix LD20 LED flashlight with all the cool features:

• Runs on two normal AA batteries
• General mode has steady 9 lumens (71hrs), 50 lumens (13hrs), 105 lumens  (5 hours) and SOS
• Turbo mode has 205 lumens steady and strobe
• Solid aluminum
• IPX-8 waterproof

I have been very pleased with this one;

You may have all kinds of electrical problems if the flashlight doesn't have the BMW emblem on it.

I understand that bargain shopping for non-cool things is anathema to BMW folk, but just as an fyi...there are multiple LED flashlights for under $10 at Harbor Freight that fit the clip in question.

My .02 having owned a shitload of mini-flashlights and headlamps, get something a little more versatile that you can strap on your head if needed.

Proved invaluable to me one night I picked up an 8 inch tent stake in my brand new ME880 rear on the Connie and had to plug the SOB in the dark.

Great for camping also and general use. 172 lumens with about 9 different light modes including a strobe that you can actually set the blink frequency.

1 AA battery and good battery life. Cree LED. Awesome light right here and very well made.

With the exception of the first post, does the version of light you're suggesting fit the clip in the glovebox? It doesn't fit a standard maglight type flashlight.
