The 5th Annual BLF / Old Lumens Scratch Made Light Contest

ā€¦including the judges, Iā€™d guess. :wink:

Here is my build thread

Excited to see where this takes me.

I need a ruling.

Would it be acceptable if I offered up some excess ā€œworkingā€ Soraa Mr16 gu5.3 12v lights (for free)
ā€œworkingā€ is defined as they make nice light but seem more dim then the others I have. maybe a flaw maybe just lower voltage.

To the community to use as they see fit for contest purposes.

I believe the relevant rules are:

You may use some manufactured components such as; reflectors, P60 drop-ins, drivers, LEDs, ā€œOā€-Rings, switches or lenses
You may not use manufactured flashlight parts such as: a bezel, body, tail cap or head

Right now I have 5 2 left (Jensen567 already has his in route) :wink:

one or two each depending on demand.

Fancy emitters high cri and a killer heatsink I thought maybe they would help a modder out there?

_the_says OK

drop me a PM if interested.

Nice to see this running into the 5th year! sadly lifeā€™s headaches and obstacles, added with work loads this summer I have to sit this one out again. ( second year in a row >.<) hopefully next year i can re-join in on the build contest action. For now i will cheer-on all the competitors! :sunglasses:

Your support for this contest is appreciated!

Iā€™d compare those to P60 drop-ins => canā€™t see anything wrong using them => feel free to go ahead.

Excited to be a part of the comp again this year! :beer:

ā€¦damn it, looks like Iā€™ve landed sausage-side againā€¦ :person_facepalming:

the says yes

Congratulations on getting another one going. No promises as those are already tied up but if I can Iā€™ll see what I can do after other commitments are fulfilled.

Subscribed to learn :wink: Good work to the participants! :sunglasses:

bump!

Weekend is here - letā€™s see some more build threads started!! :beer:

Unfortunately, I donā€™t have access to tools this year. But I am looking forwards to following all your builds!

Lame excuseā€¦ In that case you can do it with bare hands and get extra points! :slight_smile:

Your right. Unfortunately times short. Iā€™m not sure whether to build a light I may finish or one I wont finish when l get a start. :person_facepalming:

My thread for the 2017 OL comp build.

All the best to everyone that has entered. Iā€™m really looking forward to your builds.

Great! We are looking forward to your build too. Machine made?

Yes. Machine made. :+1:

Iā€™m going to try and get one entered this year. Even though Iā€™m not planning on using a mill or lathe, or any precision cutting machines, I think Iā€™m going to end up in the machine made category.

Iā€™ve just spent the last 1/2 hour on my build with an angle grinderā€¦. not much precision there either :cowboy_hat_face:

Good to see another entrant. Thereā€™s still two months to go, plenty of time to get a build going! :partying_face:

Do it! You never fail to impress. :+1:

Best wishes to everyone who is working on an entry!

I might be able to come up with a little something this year in the hand made category :wink:
