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

[DBSAR]

Nice to see this running into the 5th year! sadly life’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:

I need a ruling.

Would it be acceptable if I offered up some excess “working” Soraa Mr16 gu5.3 12v lights (for free)

Your support for this contest is appreciated!

I’d compare those to P60 drop-ins => can’t see anything wrong using them => feel free to go ahead.

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

Lame excuse… In that case you can do it with bare hands and get extra points!

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

[image] For this comp to work we need an organiser, judges, sponsors, a forum, competitors and interested onlookers to make this succeed in memory of Old-Lumens (Justin). Indeed thanks to everyone out there we have all the above. I have pondered this years build for along time now and have a picture in my head but no real idea how to enact it so as usual some bluff on my behalf and no doubt some failures will ensure in this build. I am carrying on from last years light build with the naked r…

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

[MRsDNF]

Yes. Machine made. :+1:

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

I’ve just spent the last 1/2 hour on my build with an angle grinder…. not much precision there either :cowboy_hat_face:

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

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

Thanks for joining in the fun. It matters little what you use to build your light. Its just good to challenge yourself with whatever you have and we all enjoy watching the processes we go through.

[Jerommel]

I’ll give it a shot this year too.
No ideas yet though…

[FmC]

Good to see you in the mix again, Jerommel :+1:

I’m seriously winging it this time - I’ve spent more time failing on a particular part, it’s not funny…& I have to spend more time posting up the string of failure… :person_facepalming:
