18,000th Post Giveaway! Winner! David EF! Congratulations!

See, the problem is… I don’t have 4x high drain cells. I only have one VTC5 because someone accidently left it in a light that I got from him a while back. The rest of my 18650’s are all laptop pulls.

Ok, so, how about a Q8 with 4 new Samsung 25S cells?

Then the Sofirn Q8 would be your best bet. It doesn’t stress the cells as much as the X6, and you could remove the bypasses for still excellent performance since they feature BeCu springs, and be able to use laptop pulls.

I’m tempted now…

So, tell me what we’re talking about for specs. :wink:

25A capable cells with a capacity of 2500mAh.

Absolute beasts. It’s a chemical rework of the 25R to say the least, and their lower internal resistance can make them punch even harder than the already great 25Rs.

Thanks.

All great info.

But I meant the light.

Dale never disappoints, but I’m curious what it is he’s offering me before I change from the EE X6 of my dreams. :wink:

I really like how it worked out. Seems like someone who’ll really benefit has won this time. :beer: :partying_face:

Ah, well, ya see, that’s the thing. I’m not asking you to change from the X6, I’m offering a Birthday Bonus! :smiley:

WHAT?!

REALLY?!

WOW!

I don’t know what to say!

:open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

YES!

I’ll take it!

@DavidEF, you want to know the specs?

Imagine a BLF Q8:

- With XPL-HIs/SST40s for mean lumens and throw :slight_smile:

- Anduril for that lightning and ramping goodness

- Beryllium Copper Springs with 20AWG bypass(my own springs actually :innocent: )

- A 2mm pure copper plate for maximum performance

- UCL AR coated lens

And most importantly, Dale’s touch!!!

Uh, yeah, I cut a copper disc to replace the pcb in the tail, soldered Blue’s large springs directly to the copper and put a 20ga bypass inside em. Up top, LED4POWER’s MCPCB to take the SST-40’s, a nice thick copper DTP board. Sliced the domes off the 40’s to maintain throw like the HI’s were doing. Put a glass UCL lens with the best AR coatings in the industry up top. :slight_smile: That’s all.

Edit: Uh, well, almost all. I also hand drilled the 4 tail screws and hand threaded them to take 8x32 3/4” long screws. :slight_smile:

Dale, you’re truly OVER THE TOP! Thanks! I’m seriously overwhelmed! I didn’t even expect to win this GAW! Now, I feel like I won the BLF Jackpot of the year a lifetime today! Really! What in the world?! I can’t get over it! :partying_face:

Hippo Birdies 2 Ewes, Hippo Birdies 2 Ewes….

And boom!
That is just so awesome :slight_smile:

I love BLF. Best forum ever!

Blame it on Rush, I’m a Rush fan… “If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice…”

Congrats to you guys, Dale and David. Great BLForum here, you are the reason why. :beer:

Congrats

:+1: Congratulations DavidEF !!
