A custom LED. I don’t know what’s the use. I found it in chips4light’s portfolio.

“I’m In!”

If I win I definitely want that Eagle Eye X6!

BTW, my birthday is October 11th, so it would be really nice to win this amazing light. I know Random.org doesn’t care, so whatamitalkinbout? :stuck_out_tongue:

Congratulations Dale, and thanks for so many posts that helped making BLF what it is now.

I’m not in because I want someone new to hotrod flashlights to win one of these “Frankendale” lights.

But I do go for the amazing pic.

These pictures are as embarrassing as they are amazing. It is simply all the loose discarded leds that I fished out in between all the other ‘junk’ in my small cardboard maybe-still-useful-someday-stuff collecting box, btw this is the new box that I started 2 years ago. All have been reflowed on a board before and later removed and almost all were used in a flashlight at some point and were dumped for a better led. Some were blown up during a led test, some were failed dedoming attempts, but most should just work. I must have payed dear money for most of these leds :person_facepalming:

Two pics, white light and 365nm UV light. No editing other than stretching the contrast a little to match better what I see in reality (but a pic will never have the brilliant dynamic range of reality).

Isn’t that just grand! Thanks Jos, the UV pic really shows how much difference there is between all these epic emitters. Sweet!

edit: would have loved seeing the granddaddy in there, dead center… the MT-G2 even makes the XHP-70 look small. (The SST-90’s are not little either!)

Edit II: I just HAD to play with that a little bit…

Congrats on 18,000!

and with my very first post, I hereby declare…. I’m in!

Welcome to BLF bmg50!
I hope you will enjoy it here and join the nice bunch of people who are crazy about flashlights. :slight_smile:

There is many famous emitters missing, this was just what was in that box. The MT-G2 indeed, SST-90 (I never had one), a Rebel, an XR-E, MC-E, to name a few :slight_smile:

I’m in!

Welcome to the forum BMG 50, thought you might like to see this… my first Old Lumens Challenge scratch build back in 2013…

Started with a live round, ended up with an 800 lumen twisty. And second place I think, can’t remember, was it third? Honorable mention? My cousin was VERY pleased when I gave it to him. lol

I’m In!

Congratulations on your 18k posts :beer:
