ZozzV6 1000 and 2000 post double giveaway *Winners Announced!*

Giveaways and Contests

Congratulations ZozzV6 for your 2000 posts.

My latest flashlight “is” a virence’s jetusolis 5K and 6.5K (ordered a couple of days ago). Don’t know when it will be assembled.

The one that made me plunge in the hobby was the programmable akoray K-109 (16340) which was amazing at the time. I wish i still got one.

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. :slight_smile:

Congratulations on your 2000 posts.

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 :

Congratulations!

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 latest flashlight is the Lumintop AA 2.0


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.

Skilhunt H03, very happy with it, i think this light has seen more use already then all my flashlights together ;).

I got into flashlights when i was a kid and someone came up with a Maglite 4D, which was unseen back then.
Nowadays we laugh at it.

20

for the 7A 2S buck driver, does this means it uses 2 batteries?

Congratulations!

My first light that could be called a “proper light” was, IIRC, an Ultrafire UF-M6. Must have been 2006 or so!

I think some parts of its carcass are still somewhere in a bin, some have found a new life elsewhere. The poor thing got a lot of abuse.

And before LEDs came around, I had this little one and it was already so much better than everything you could find in a store:

Yup, CPF was exciting for a bit, until it wasn’t (and I stumbled upon this place).

Technically my latest acquisition is a Convoy M1 but it got lost in the mail, so the latest one that counts is the Cometa.

23

Congrats! My first FL was… I don’t remember model, but her is…

Now i have Boruit RJ 3000 T6

24

Congrats on 2000th post. Hopefully I get there soon.

Nitecore Tiny Monster TM028

Hopefully pictures post. Anyway buy because of serious lumen power.

25

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.

26

Subscribed (a while ago) twice :stuck_out_tongue: I’m ready to see what IWA has for us :wink: Good adventure!!! :+1:

27

Thanks! Today I got the ticket. Tomorrow I will start and visit M4DM4X and from him we share one car to Germany.

28

I’am back from IWA. And I have a very succesful road trip and I liked it a lot. I will look my lights this week. Choose the second prize and then make the randomizing.

29

Wait, didn’t Imalent offered you one of those giant lights to GAW it to us? :smiley: :innocent:
Hope you enjoyed the IWA :+1:

30

Naaaah! :smiley: But it was a great night when we played with them!

31

Not In.

But I wanted to say congrats on the milestones! Also to give this thread a bump. And a lovely prize, that S2+ is… nice form factor, tailcap LEDs, great LED choice, and of course, great firmware choice :smiley:

My first “real” LED flashlight was the Fenix E25 (the 187 lumen version). It was a gift from my mother, and I thought it was excellent until I learned what “throw” is. Then I spiralled into the BLF world and placed my first order at MtnE: a Convoy C8 host with a 5000K XP-L HI and Qlite. The rest is history!

My most recent purchase should be here soon: my first Emisar, the D1S. To say I’m excited is an understatement. I have a 1mm Flat White and a custom 5A linear driver waiting for it.
