CK's huge 3535 GAW. WINNERS!

Welcome to my 3535 give away thread! Even though I just did a 3000 post GAW over the summer the number 3535 is so important to us here at BLF I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to go all out plus I like to build lights and build more than I’ll ever use!

WINNERS ANNOUNCED!
In the order they will have prize choice:
1st Virisenox_ AT-008 quad
2nd Gchart A01
3rd Cyclops convoy S2 UV
4th Miller Man S41 rgbw
5th Bort
6th Nick779

Gentlemen, please await your pm with the remaining prizes, I’ll pm you all in order to get your choices. Thanks to everyone who entered!

Stats: 109 unique entries, 135 total entries with qualifying add-on entries included.

My first thought was to give away 35 lights but that’s not financially possible so I thought a little more and instead Im going to give away as many as I can but all will feature 3535 emitters. As of typing this post I’m up to 13 total emitters in 6 lights but I definitely intend to add anything and everything I can in the mean time, check back often and feel free to converse, this is going to be a longer running GAW (I still need 2xx some posts to get to the magic number and I still need the time to get more prizes built) and as such I will keep a log of entries, it’s not based on post number so feel free to post away. There is no set end date, the end of the GAW will be whenever I reach 3535 posts.

Rules: There are no rules! Open to anyone and everyone registered at BLF as of November 1 2018! Its mainly a drawing however interesting photos, funny posts and good stories (especially light related) may result in you having higher odds or even an instant win!

Clarification to rules, here’s how I’m doing it: If you post in this thread you’re in (unless you specifically bow out for any reason), I will then add your name to a numbered list one time, if you somehow qualify for a second entry I will add you a second time. At the end of the contest I’ll use a random number drawing thing interesting method of my choosing to pick numbers and winners can choose from the prize pool in the order their number was drawn.

Edit contest will end December 16th!

Prize pool in no particular order (i.e. the first light listed isn’t the “grand prize” or anything like that, just listing them as they’re ready)

Updated group photo, everything’s done but the c6r

Astrolux S41, 1 each of XP-L HI, Red XP-E, Green XP-E2 and Blue XT-E. Baked to make it bronze. My old killer lumens 4 channel driver with RGBW_clicky FW



Ultrafire AT-008 quad Nichia 119. Custom FET+1 driver (by me) running anduril.

A UV light, winners choice between:
SolarStorm SC02 with Chinese 365nm LED running single mode+strobe Eswitch-13 (Tom E. FW)
OR
Convoy S2 running a 3rd Gen LG 365nm led and Biscotti FW with a mode group tailored to UV use (max+strobe+batt). Both lights have zwb2 filters and are approximately the same power output.

Astrolux A01 LH351D 4000K 90CRI (stock driver with the trick to remove next mode memory)

SK98 with XP-E2 Torch and Warhawks SK driver with Dr. Jones FW,

Nitecore C6R, XP-L HD warm and cool with custom drivers (yes plural, driverS) so you can control each tint independently.

Anyway that’s it for now. Again please feel free to post up, joke, tell stories, your post IS NOT your entry so multiple posts are fine. Remember to check back often as there is no cut-off date and with the shipment notices I’ve got this week I expect there to be prize updates soon!

My dog doesn’t really improve the creepiness aspect of hanging out in a pitch black forest on Halloween.

Congrats on over 3000 posts!

I'm in the U.S., but is this giveaway worldwide?

I think those eyes glowing in the dark are kinda creepy.

And why is 3535 important?
Scratching my head

Edit: It took a while to notice

Yes sir, open to all!

3535 is the package size that manufacturers have basically standardized on, i.e. XP size, 3.5mmx3.5mm.

How did the Cree emitter react to the Nichia 219B’s tint?

It was green with envy!

And yeah, I’m in.

If I win anything you won’t have to pay for shipping since I’m about 15 miles east of Columbus :wink:
Thanks for the giveaway, BTW.

Congratulations @Cereal_killer for your post count and thanks for the giveaway!

I decided to share a beamshot I captured with the Fitorch M30R and it came out pretty fascinating - at least to my eyes :)
I gave away the light to a friend, so this picture is what I got left from it!

Congratulations on the 3535!!! Cheers! :beer:

Ha! Finally a thread where I can share this meme I saved a while back!

Congrats CK! :slight_smile:

Hi @CK, thanks for the giveaway.

I just want to leave this image here because I just visited the selling page…

He C_k! Very nice giveaway here. I’m not gonna be in for this one, but there’s gonna be some very happy people when the day comes. That’s quite a collection of prizes! :partying_face:

Congrats CK!
Thanks for the giveaway.
:+1:
:slight_smile:

I bet more than one has done this…

Oops! Thanks for the GAW!

I think Jerommel’s pipe bomb flashlight will be better… :smiling_imp:

Thanks for the giveaway :smiley:

Unfortunately I don’t have any funny stories as I’m pretty careful about not pointing my lights anywhere that might cause issues, that being said my D4 has been the only light that attracted instant attention even when I thought I was testing it somewhere I wouldn’t annoy people.

Funny story…I actually found myself wondering if I had “enough” lights. :smiley:

Thanks for the GAW.
