I bought a cleaning kit, Hoppes Delux, it came with a bore light, works good. These kits were at my local walmart for 30 bucks.

The sun (it's that big yellow ball of light in the sky).

Flashlight

I saw one for sale at a Walmart for 19.95 but I use a small LED flashlight.

i recently bought a bore light with a flexible stem. i noticed it seemed very bright. i looked oh the body and it had a warning not to shine it in your eye,it could cause permanent eye damage. these are sold as bore lights in gunshows,make sure to check it all over before you buy it.

Thumbnail and any overhead light in a pinch.

I actually prefer to use my thumbnail and guide the reflected light up and down the brore.
My borelight (and certainly pointing at clear sky) just seems to be too bright and casues internal refelctions in the bore that hide much of the bore's detail.

YMMV

For me, borelights aren't that useful. Too bright, too much glare. Like others have said, I have two. One on each thumb.

Most often, a small LED single AAA battery light I carry on a neck cord. For detailed inspection, I have a fiber optic about 18"-20" long that slips over the head of a Mini Mag-Lite.
