The 6th Annual BLF / Old Lumens Scratch Made Light Contest

Well, maybe it will be useful to somebody! :smiley:

I plan to try it out myself sometime, maybe to make a flashlight reflector or maybe to make an infinity mirror (or both).

New entry in hand made: The 6th Annual BLF / Old Lumens - Handmade Entry - i42dk (FAIL)

Looks like a great idea to me. Go and check the thread! :slight_smile:

A littel bump and inspiration for our builder and modders :wink:
I love to this guy making knives, but now he did this :sunglasses:

I started!!! At last. The link to my project topic is….

Now that I’ve managed to locate Jack, we have another build on our hands… :slight_smile:

Hey, still a month to go!
Then I might still join the contest afterall.
I’ll have a good look tomorrow into what i have laying around to make a light out of.
Could be a triple on a 20700 and sideswitch, maybe USB charging port.

Later…

Yep, there’s still time to have fun & knock something together, especially if you have some old/spare parts lying around :+1:

Yeah, i do, although i’m always short on choice in drivers…

I’ve got plenty of drivers. I don’t know if one of them could get to the Netherlands in time to help you, but hit me up in PM if you want to talk about it. :wink:

Thanks, David. :+1: :beer:

Welcome abord :partying_face:

What do you plan on using the ReyLight Mokume LAN for? :smiley:

Decided to enter the contest too:

Jerommel’s Hand Job 2018

I’m just gonna say… I’m kinda scared to click that link

:person_facepalming:

:D

My 2014 entry was "Jerommel's hand job".

I thought it was funny.

The output will be a warm white flood..

I’m in it this year :smiley: The 6th Annual BLF Old Lumens - machine made - Pinkpanda's Entry

Good to see a few more entries! :beer:

I was going to enter, really I was, but stuff happens and well, it’s been a pretty rough summer. I have started a project that is using a manufactured light at it’s base and the work is hard to complete. I gave thought to making it a full scratch build but it would take so much more work and frankly, I’m really just not up to it.

So this light I’m working on, expecting some 25,000 plus lumens, is just going to have to miss the Scratch Challenge.

Sorry. I know it’s a shame because there’s a lot about this build that is right down Justin’s alley, even using some of the parts I bought from him. But, it is what it is…

FWIW, I’m walking through the build in djozz’s thread on the Sofirn Q8… expecting to hear from Sofirn any day now on their new battery tubes with carriers that can stack in parallel, this may well be a crucial part of my build as the light may truly pull 80+ Amps if I can get it to do what I want it to.

If the parts don’t come in and I have to improvise, I may yet go full scratch on this one and if I do that, I’ll try to get it in here if it can still apply. About the best I can do at the moment.

I will be in after all but nothing fancy. I’ll start a thread when something happens. There is so much other stuff I should be doing but thought stuff it. OL means so much. Sorry to everyone else that I have put aside to do this. I’ll get back to your mods soon. I hope. :open_mouth:
