Calling ALL Facebook users http://www.facebook.com/BudgetLightForum
http://www.facebook.com/BudgetLightForum
With the admin's permission I've created a facebook page for the site.
The page should help to spread our addiction, and be easy for everyone to access.
I'm hoping people will allow us to post some of there reviews on there?
And keep an eye out on the site for news on group buys and the like.

Be sure to hit that like button and spread the news, lets be the biggest flashlight page of Facebook.
Anybody willing to add, help in anyway just post a reply and I'll get in touch.
EDIT: XTAR have delivered! Competition on it's way...
i'm there
Thanks, Great idea.
Please don't post any of my firearm photos all others are fine.

To prevent any possible complaints, issues if users link/ post the images they would like up in this thread that would be great.
Last thing I'd want is any mis communication problems that could lead to people being offended, (stealing images is DinoDirects job isn't it?)
Nice initiative, i would only change this:
A great community for all those involved in the flashlight industry.
most of us are not involved with the industry
or maybe i just misunderstand it

well spotted, and changed to hobby and industry, as I think we have both here...although the industry tends to lurk rather than post.
Edit: Nice to see it's growing, remember to post anything here you'd like up on there.
Also if people could acknowledge they've liked the page? seeing as no one uses there real names here I have no idea who's clicked like. (not that it matters, just may help)
Maybe you could create some photo albums to get a bit of structure, because otherwise it will get messy right away. Like battery type, beamshots, customs,...?
Done what I can, will add beamshots and customs as people provide.
Hopefully labeling the batteries should be enough...otherwise with all the battery types that would be a huge amount of albums for just a few images in some.
Plus I'd best go take photos of my own batteries now..
EDIT: I'm off to bed, added all the content I can of mine, link me to threads/images over night that you own and I'll add them tomorrow.

appreciate the effort, have a nice weekend!
Liked!
Have to admit, I was expecting atleast one person to want their stuff up....
(sorry for going on, but I've noticed there isn't really any competition on Facebook and we could easily be the biggest flashlight related page)
What do people think of the welcome page? I only made it up quick but does it go with the site?
Liked!
Cheers guys, be sure to keep an eye on the page...I've something planned for the future (if all goes to plan)
Liked also
going to do an effort to take some pictures/beamshots soon when i have my HID

Well we didn't make it to the 50, maybe we can do that by the end of this week?
(and yes, this is a shameless bump for a good cause)
edit: everytime this gets bumped or to the top the page gets like 3 more likes, lets all reply and get a huge page.
he hugely general party networking position, Facebook, makes it relaxed for you to brace in style with friends and kinfolk members romantic facebook status, disregarding of geographical interval. You can fastness up with interestingness stories, new penalization sorry facebook status, your lover businesses, and upcoming events.
ty for bumping!

We need to select some good beamshots to add on the page.
Liked!
I don't really own anything exotic or different from most other members but I do make a mean micromag I'd love to see on the FB page. Here are a couple pics...


Why not a custom holster, too...

I'm in. Want some foggy beamshots for fun?
Liked!

Done... feel free to tag yourself, I think that's possible?
EDIT: Think someone's asked for details on one of the images, price + specs etc.
I see CPF has a facebook page as well, created around the same period of the BLF page. It has 2 more members... we can't let that happen
do we?

BTW...how come we can't see the list of FB members that like the BLF page on FB? It just says 47 like it but shows no list.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll contact him tonight.

Think it has to have more people like it before you can see them, but I'll look into it now.
Think it's amazing the CPF page was created 3 days after this, seems a little odd atleast.
Yeah, it does. You'd think they'd have had one a lot sooner than we would considering their age and number of members.
Anybody else have something they'd like up?
I've seen a lot of great photo's recently..

On 49 now, someone must have un-liked the page 
and................. no. 50!!!!

We're at 52, just 2 behind CPF!!
Although CPF's page was created after ours..
Edit: In talks with XTAR.
Added some pics
All I'm saying right now, is a SERIOUS WOW from XTAR's end, I can't encourage anyone on here enough to hit like on this page. And to even consider registering for Facebook just for what is coming.
XTAR have, for me, confirmed that they are the only battery company to even consider.
Okay, okay...
Who hasn't clicked like?
And who has stuff to put on there...come on guys....you can simply email it now if you like?
Pictures, reviews...you name it.
Something huge is coming, and trust me you'll be clicking like in a few weeks...might as well just do it now.

I am #58. 
60 guys, well done!
What do you all think of the logo?

get rid of the small f 
get rid of the small f 
Tried that first, looks odd to me. Plus with facebook not being Facebook in their own logo it just doesn't seem right to me.
Edit: waiting on confirmation from XTAR, they have some work to do at their end.
Not heard from XTAR in a while now, does anyone have anything they'd like up?
Reviews?
Pictures of lights/ custom builds?
Hopefully XTAR get in touch this coming week.
First update..


Second update:
Less than a week now, I think, until I can begin the big sign up programme.
I'd encourage everyone to keep an eye on this thread and the facebook page for all the details.
looking forward to whatever is coming up!
watkins, thx for all your work on this!
wow,just notice this,I will add BLF,lol
Thanks for the support, members of both focalprice and dinodirect have now liked the page.
XTAR have been amazing, and hopefully lots of members can benefit from this.
Anyone feel free to post information on lights on the page...or if you'd like images in one of the albums simply send me a pm.
I posted some images of my HID but they are just randomly posted on the wall, i'll send you a PM



Just to let you know, I'm adding a few images to the page later.
The likes of foy and his macro shots may wish to contribute? Or anyone else? (some of you with those exotics?)
