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

82

Yeah, i do, although iā€™m always short on choice in driversā€¦

83

Iā€™ve got plenty of drivers. I donā€™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:

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

92

Good to see a few more entries! :beer:

93

I was going to enter, really I was, but stuff happens and well, itā€™s been a pretty rough summer. I have started a project that is using a manufactured light at itā€™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, Iā€™m really just not up to it.

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

Sorry. I know itā€™s a shame because thereā€™s a lot about this build that is right down Justinā€™s alley, even using some of the parts I bought from him. But, it is what it isā€¦

FWIW, Iā€™m walking through the build in djozzā€™s thread on the Sofirn Q8ā€¦ 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 donā€™t come in and I have to improvise, I may yet go full scratch on this one and if I do that, Iā€™ll try to get it in here if it can still apply. About the best I can do at the moment.

94

I will be in after all but nothing fancy. Iā€™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. Iā€™ll get back to your mods soon. I hope. :open_mouth:

95

Oh! The Moose has joined! Oh! This is gonna be awesome! :partying_face:
