5th Annual BLF / Old Lumens Scratch Made Light Contest - Official People's Choice Award - VOTE NOW!

Very nice work showcased here. I really wish I would have built mine this year. Maybe next year Iā€™ll have the time to work on it.

Amazing stuff guysā€¦all of you! Good thing I have 2 weeks to attempt to figure out which I like best.

Iā€™ve been reading almost all building threads from this ā€œcontestā€ since their beginning, and I must say that I am trully impressed!!
Not only because of the building capacity - imagining the ā€œfinalā€ results, designing and implementing all the process, putting everything together -, but also for the courage to make these flashaholic products, ā€œriskingā€/applying your personal time in such a way in the ā€œhobbyā€!!

I want to congratulate the winners, but I also want to leave my word of encouragement to all of you that, for one reason or another, didnā€™t manage to finish your ideas! Please, bring them up, and present us with more amazing stuff! :+1:

I didnā€™t ā€œmetā€ Old-Lumens, I arrived late to this place, but this contest is truly an inspiration and also a challenge, a ā€œdareā€, and - for what Iā€™ve read and saw here and in his own Youtube channel - a true homage!! He is surely proud of the legacy :wink:

Thanks for the inspiration, thanks for the courage, thanks for sharing your knowledge :blush:

Congratulations to all! :+1:

Looks like CRX is the clear winner here, & very well deserved at that!

Thanks FmC.
I didnā€™t expect to win this too again and I still have too many lights already so was thinking about doing a select giveaway of some sort with this prize if ever confirmed :stuck_out_tongue:

Congrats! The prize is yours so feel free to give it away. :slight_smile: You can even let the winner of the giveaway to select the prize he wantsā€¦

We have a winner!

Please contact member _ the _ with your details :THUMBS-UP:

Congrats MascaratumB!

Of course, you are now obliged to participate in this yearā€™s comp :smiley:

:smiley:

Thanks for this GAW, CRX, and Iā€™m still in shock :open_mouth: :smiley:
I will give a good use to that light and I will shut my lights off and using later in the night in the head to write down its review on BLF :sunglasses:

Well, Iā€™d like butā€¦letā€™s see if it will happen :smiley:
I have a PhD to end within this year so time will narrow a bit from now on until the end of the year! BUT, if I can, if I have the materials and resources, and if I donā€™t lack the ideas, Iā€™ll enter :wink:

Seeing all the builds from this year was truly an inspiration and I hope that someday I can make one too :wink:

Congratulations to the all of you that entered the ā€œcontestā€!
And thank you again, CRX :sunglasses:

Congrats MascaratumB!

Headlamp shipped. Hope you will enjoy it!

Thank you _ the _ :smiley: I will for sure :wink:
Iā€™ll let you and CRX know when it arrives!

Thank you both :+1: :sunglasses:

My gift from CRXā€™s giveaway arrived today :blush:
And it had an extra gift, an AAA flashlight, similar to BLF 348, but in a more NW version!
Thank you, again, CRX for it and thank you _ the _ for sending it! :+1:

:+1: :slight_smile: @ CRX

Hey cool :slight_smile: :+1: I hope you like them, thanks for letting us know you got them ok :beer:

Itā€™s perfectly acceptable to rob the LEDā€™s & drivers out of them to use in the next scratch build contestā€¦ just sayinā€™ :innocent:

Good one, CRX :+1:

ā€¦that reminds me, Iā€™m overdue for a 2K post GAWā€¦.

I believe you have a BLF GT FmC. That would make an orsm gift in a giveaway. Your the best. :slight_smile:

Oooh, I didnā€™t think of thatā€¦ :slight_smile:

+1000 :smiley: :partying_face: :blush:
Even if it wasnā€™t me the winner I would :+1: for the action !!!

I do, i really do, and the funny thing is: I was looking both for a headlamp and a AAA flashlight!!! So how about that? :wink:
The headlamp has a very nice feel and ā€œwonderfulā€ tint that I really like, and the AAA light will probably be my pocket light, thin, one mode, enough to use in emergency for close range!

Thank you once again :smiley:

Eheheh, youā€™re still tempting me :smiling_imp:
I will see what I can do, but the interiors wouldnā€™t be the biggest issue :wink: The body, on the other handā€¦ :person_facepalming:

Thanks for the encouragement! :smiley:

And thanks to all :+1:
