Hey oh!

Hi all,

My names Matt - I’m from the land down under. I’ve been a lurker here for almost 2 years but got my kicks over on that other site (can we mention it by name?). I’m sure a few people may recognize my user name from there :slight_smile: Hopefully someone can vouch for me 0:)

I decided to sign up mainly because I HAD to ask a member about a how-to they did (couldn’t work it out) but I figure I have plenty to contribute and seen as these forums are more aligned with the way I enjoy my lights it’d be worth sticking around! I’m a big time fan of DIY - I like to create my own goods instead of buying, which I guess is why the only store bought light I have is my little 4Sevens Qmini CR2 on my car keys. Everything is custom and nothing has the original emitter or driver in it >)

I have a few projects I’ve done that I’d love to share but I’m not sure if it’d be ideal rehashing what I’ve done elsewhere? I also occasionally make and sell some parts for the DIY crowd so maybe people would be interested in that as well?

Basically there are some ingenious ways to save money around here and I for one am all for it!.

Thanks,

- Matt

Welcome Matt,
The rules about posting and commenting are fairly lax here, compared with cpf (if that’s where you came from).

Here are the rules, if you want:

  • Please don’t be a rude. Rude people will have their accounts deleted.
  • Please don’t use dirty language, please don’t swear, and please avoid lewd conversations.
  • Please avoid controversial or divisive subjects such as religion and politics.
  • Please don’t even think about spamming this forum. Spammers will be prosecuted.
  • Please don’t even think about using this forum for illegal activities. Criminals will be prosecuted.
  • You may receive notification by email of replies to certain topics.
  • Have fun.

There are quite a few DIYers here (myself soon to be one once my tools come in) so I’m sure you’ll fit right in. After all, everyone loves to look at projects.

Mate…looks like I’ll fit like a glove :slight_smile:

Believe it or not I did read the forum rules before posting haha! Well maybe I skimmed them. I definitely opened them.

Got yourself a nice little Aussie welcoming party happening here :wink:

Share away, I’d love to see some of your custom lights.

This is entirely unnecessary. We welcome you regardless, Matt.

Well we’d be the only ones awake right now!

I already posted one over in the custom mods section as a sort of “hey this is what I do” style of post.

EDIT: I stand corrected. It’s hangover time on the East Coast :wink:

Welcome to BLF! You'll love being here! :)

Looking forward to see your mods.

HAHA, I get up ay 4 AM six days a week for work, so even without an alarm I still get up very early. Already had breakfast and gone for a walk. Until someone else gets up at my house, all I have are you guys for entertainment. I could always have another breakfast, I guess.

I had the same routine when I was at university. Those days are behind me now and I have the freedom of turning up to work whenever I like….so long as I meet my weekly hours of course! Damn ‘certified’ agreement.

Bah.

Another welcome from another early riser.

I think I would get exactly 0% done if I had this sort of arrangement. Which would be fine if I could get Mrs. Cone to agree.

Who said I got anything done? I’ve mastered the art of ‘being busy’…although I like to think it’s because I’m so good at my job I always finish work too quickly. I might be alone on that one.

Welcome Mattaus! A few differences in between here and CPF: links are encouraged, everyone's welcome, the management isn't a . :D

G'Day Matt, welcome to BLF! If you can carry on an intelligible conversation with cone, you already fit in...

That's more than a lot of us have every managed. :P

Welcome to the BLF family, Matt! You fit right in here, brother.

Post up your mods here, please. I really hate having to dig stuff up on CPF. ;)

Yes, post away, Matt. Plenty of folks here are members of multiple forums and post their reviews in more than one place. We'd love to see them.

Welcome Matt!

Glad to have a fellow modder here. By all means post up what you've done. Don't worry about rehashing...besides, there's a good chance anything you've posted on CPF will be lost in their next server crash.

For crying out loud, I was just trying to keep him entertained ’till reinforcements showed up. :nerd_face:

Thanks peoples….loving it already :slight_smile: I have twice as many forums to aimlessly browse until the wee hours of the morning now!
