Congratulations CRX! Would not be fair for you to sit out of the competitions. Cant wait to see what creations come from the prize money.
And congrats to you too Jensen567, Love the light. Wish i had a lathe and the skills.

Thanks MtnE, Gearbest and BangGood for the donations to the efforts of our members.

Thanks mate, you’ve got plenty good ideas and can already mod, next step is just making a host.

Thanks the for putting in the time to organise the event again on behalf of Justin and thanks again also to the sponsors and members here for their kind words to all that entered the comp this year.

This truly is a unique event and I’d like to thank all on a personal note that entered and took the time to build a torch or lamp.
Its not the votes that make a great light but the individuals effort to create something that challenged them along the way and made us think as well. Cheers all. :beer:

By the way my torch is finished. Better late than never. :slight_smile:

Sorry, didn’t see this thread! Thanks for the heads up CRX.

I think I would like the $75 gearbest gift card.

Thanks to everyone involved in the contest, and to anyone who read through my build. I had a lot of fun and learned a bunch about machining.

It’s yours! Congrats once again!

FmC: Which one of the above would you like to have? :slight_smile:

Every year, I’m surprised by the things people here build. I can’t really participate in the annual build, but I always enjoy watching from the sidelines. There’s always something new and different and unexpected, and it’s inspiring to see the cool stuff people can make in their spare time. Plus, I really love it when people make their own awesomeness instead of just pulling something mundane off a shelf.

It seems there are more prizes than projects. Any idea what will happen to the extras? I feel like those should go to the people who entered even if the projects weren’t finished on time.

15

Hey you should post more in build threads if you like them, I’m sure people would appreciate your input there.
I’m fine with giving a prize to those that didn’t finish too.

16

Sounds good.

17

I’m fine with the extra prizes going to those who entered but didn’t finish as well.

18

The Haikelite MT-01doesn’t really do much for me, & I already have an Emisar D4…. Seeing as it’s the same value as a D4, I’m going to be cheeky & ask if I can have an Emisar D1S instead. Pretty-please, with a cherry on top :innocent:

19

Thanks for putting on this event and for keeping the Old Lumen spirit alive.

Next year I'm gonna put in an entry of my own! I've been missing out on the fun. :-)

20

It sounds like you have been mulling over an idea for awhile RMM. We will all enjoy your fun I’m sure. :slight_smile:

21

So many ideas....so little time. But I'm going to make time for it next year.

22

Should be interesting :slight_smile:

Did FmC get sorted out with swapping a D1S instead of a D4?

23

Going by the first post in this thread, not yet.
