CRX 3000 Post Giveaway

Thanks for the gaw.

My old friend lost his job for not agreeing with one of the big wigs. He wanted to do some camping and he has a really crappy light. His only headlamp is the Princeton EOS. Unfortunately he put alkaline in it and it leaked. I felt bad so I gave him my Olight R50 Seeker as a Christmas present. Rechargeable and reliable, now he can go camping and relax a bit before looking for another job.

I gave my house to 10 people and 9 dogs for 2 weeks after the “campfire” in CA USA, they were family and friends that lost everything they owned in the fire, flashlights came in handy for those 2 weeks, love your stuff, thank you for the giveaway.

Nice idea for a GAW. I’ll be keeping an eye on this and watching it come together. Please count me in.

I just gave a wuben t046r to a tech averse older friend. It is a perfect gift for the uninitiated because of the built in micro usb charging feature. I could tell he was just used to maglight levels of brightness and was blown away by this relatively little pocket rocket. Often times, giving feels better than receiving.

Love to win something.
I’ve never done a giveaway on here but I have given many of my lights to friend’s and family. I always want anyone I know to be able to reach out and light someone

I am in. Thanks for the GAW and congratulations on your 3000 posts.
I have given countless flashlights to family and friends over the years, hoping they will enjoy and use them.
Best of luck on your expertise in the flashlight build.

Hey man, I’m interested in a shot at this light here, since I didn’t see anything indicating you’ve already finished it.

Regarding what I’ve given away, my flashlight hobby is known by most people, and I have no qualms about reinforcing that view of me. I’ve gifted Nitecore MT06MD penlights to friends when they graduated nursing school, I’ve given many a headlamp to friends working in industrial settings, and I’ve offered countless recommendations to people who ask me. I’ve done modding work for various people, as well, not charging more than a few dollars for my time on top of the cost of parts (generally just enough to round out a dollar value).

Hey, very cool. Please count me in

I’ve given some furniture and time to a struggling single mom.

Sounds like the description of a “Old-Lumens” light, too.

Keeping the tradition alive :slight_smile:

Time

Only the tube and the CRX gaw light looks beautiful already. Sweet GAW!

Just gave grandma (recently widowed and can’t see well) an Astrolux A01 219B, Convoy S9 in NW & Nightwatch NA40SE SST20 95 CRI.
She isn’t afraid of the dark anymore and also loves high CRI lights. Big upgrade from D cell Mag from 1999……

I would like to enter. My recent non financial GAW have been my time. I am a merit badge counselor for the Boy Scouts and I have met with several scouts over the past year. Guessing 10 - 15 hours in 2018. If you’re looking for something physical, my wife and I gave away a baked lasagna and bread to some local homeless folks.

I’ve never been rich money-wise but I did give my car to my buddy who needed it. My buddy sold me his car for a couple hundred bucks so I gave my car to my buddy who had a new job and a broken-down car. It was trickle down economics that actually worked. I think part of his first paycheck paid for one of his parent’s health bill or something. Crazy how it all flowed down and it was fun to be part of a serendipitous giving chain.

Other more boring things I’ve given are random gift cards that I get in presents or birthday cards. Sometimes I’ll mail them to other people just to surprise them. Usually with an anonymous note just to make them smile. I’ve only done it a few times, really, but once a buddy told me about getting one of those cards in the mail and I just acted surprised and enjoyed seeing his smile as he was talking about it. I didn’t get to see him open it but I could tell it was like a random Christmas-morning feeling for him.

nice giveaway! I gave a blf q8 to a friend because he liked it so much and i have a few spare light in my collection;)

As usual, one more piece of art Stevi! :+1:

Please don’t count me in.
I’ve given freely many good flashlights to friends who appreciate them but I don’t deserve to participate in this great GAW, as I had the honor to be picked as the winer of your amazing Carbon Fibre & Brass Flashlight (CRX 1000 Post Giveaway), so someone else deserves more than I do to win your handmade piece of art. :slight_smile:

Wow, no lathe? I honestly thought that was part of your tool set. :+1:

I am convinced he uses some kind of advanced alien technology. That or telekinesis.

Nah, he’s just channeling Old-Lumens. O-L regularly employed the “Human Lathe” method to make some very beautiful works of art.

I have a hard time tying my shoes in the dark. He cranks out lights with nothing but a screwdriver and a cold beer.

If the beer is cold enough, he doesn’t even need the screwdriver. :disappointed:
