ZozzV6, thanks for your GAW and your contributions here on the forum!
I’m not a savvy guy so I always like to learn from people that know more and do more than I do on this “flashlight enthusiast/ flashaholic world”
My last arrived lights (today) are the these 2 Sofirn C01, built with BLF input, namely djozz and some other folks around, and the openness of Sofirn as a flashlight manufacturer!
I arrived BLF searching for info about the Convoy S2+ with Biscotti, as I wanted to improve the driver on my next S2+ flashlight. Also, I wanted to improve from my Nebo Micro Redline, so, with peoples’ input I bought my second S2+, then a Manker E11, then Zanflare F1, then… My initial collection back then was like this…
I’ll never forget DB “Dale” Custom words back then [so true :money_mouth_face: ]:
Later, I lost track of the lights I bought and started modding stuff, making some reviews and since almost 2 years I got caught here, learning and enlightening myself! Thanks for your contribution for that as well!
My first “real” flashlight was the “old C8”
Here it is next to the regular C8
Finding a new driver and LED for the old C8 was my first post here on BLF.
A lot has happened since then
And here is my latest. The new #1 EDC
Zebralight H600Fd III
My latest flashlights are Amutorch AX3, Wuben E05 and Folomov 18650S.
My first really powerful flashlight was Sky Ray King with three LEDs of about 2,000 lumens. The passion for powerful flashlights has begun, today I have about 120 pieces in my collection. I have about 10 different chargers, although one or two would be enough. It’s crazy. BLF Forum I watch every day, it’s one of the first pages I watch every morning.
I’m not sure which is my latest light, but probably Utorch S1 Mini:
My first serious flashlight was a customized Peak Eiger Ultra. It took some research before I bought it…but it didn’t lead me to the hobby.
After several years of EDCing it I decided that I wanted something brighter….and that’s what brought me here.
If I bought Eiger Ultra X from the start I would likely not arrive here. What a money saver it would have been….
Thanks for the GAW ZozzV6 and congrats on your anniversaries.
My last light is the D06-1200 divelight I won in the XTAR GAW on CPF (hèhèhè).
Here seen accompanied by my trusted 4*AA Ledlenser D14 and the tiny 1*AAA Archon 75 lumen light.
The light(s) that started me modding were the BLF Eagle Eye X6 SE lights. Though it was actually far from modding. I dis- and re-assembled them according to the appearance of their parts. And I got myself a working moddable light plus a shelf-queen in mint condition.
Latter light was a prize in my 2000 post GAW. The winner took it apart as soon as he got it. To each his own.
Congrats on your 2000+ posts and thank you for the gaw !
My first serious flashlight was not a led one but what could be more serious than a child's love ? ;)
My first led mod was this one, way before blf even exist !
The light that made me join BLF was my first Convoy S2+ (tan, XP-L HI, biscotti one) that arrived with a "not totally functional" driver. While searching infos about what could be wrong i quickly ended here where i found a lot of usefull informations so when i decided that i was "hooked again with flashlights" it sounded like joining was the right thing to do (or not ? ;) )
My latest arrived flashlights are a pair of BLF-Sofirn C01. I already had some black ones that i ordered before the blue and red ones became available but i really love them and will certainly order more. The blue one is on my girlfriend's keys but here is the red :
The last one in the mail was a Sofirn C01
The first serious mod for me was a BLF X6 SE triple with copper heatsink, A17DD-SO8 and XP-L V6 3C leds. All thanks to this forum:)
My first actual flashlight was a black Convoy C8 with the original screw-in aluminum pill, XML and Smooth reflector :)
I later modded it with XML2 U2, then with a dedomed XP-G2 and afterwards with an XP-L V6.
I also stripped its anodization and installed a 12x7135 nanjg driver - which I flashed with biscotti after some time.
It's actually still used regularly for in-house lighting by my parents.
I decided one of the prizes:
Itwill be a
Clear Convoy S2+
Stainless silver button
OP reflector
5000K Samsung LH351D 90 CRI led
2800mA 8x7135 driver
modified babka firmware:
–14 mode groups
–5 click battery level (1-to 8 blinks from empty to full) or hidden strobe and beacon (can be turned off)
–8 minute turbo stepdown to 50% (can be turned off)
6 blue led PD68 style lighted tailcap button
screw type belt clip
Thank you all!
I have a lot to do in this week and I will go to Germany to IWA Outdoor classic so I extend the giveavay some day next week until I find out the other gift flashlight. So one or two week to go and participate.
And If you be kind enough please subscribe my youtube channel and next week you will see videos from IWA. It is not necessary for the giveaway but I will thank you if you subscribe.
