Jerommel's Hand Job 2018 - 6th annual BLF / Old Lumen Scratch Made Light Contest

I feel your frustration Jerommel. You showed us some amazing skills. Dont let it eat you up. :beer:

:frowning:

Still well done Jerommel! I did not even dare to start with a scratch build, while you did start and even came up with some really cool concepts! :+1:

@MRsDNF:

Yeah…

I still can’t believe the + wire just broke off…
It broke off where the wire couldn’t even bend, 3 to 4 mm inside the epoxy… :weary:

But oh well, it was very educational…
The battery with charger and switch in the tube still work, so i can put a new head on it eventually…
We’ll see…

Thanks Djozz.
Better luck next time.

Hey, sorry to hear this :frowning:
I was liking the concept and work!

Don’t lay your arms down, pick were you stopped and restart, even if it is not for the contest :wink: The time invested so far is much more than the one remaining to get a full working light :wink:

Very oldskool, very cool 8)

Sorry to hear you’ve hit a wall. This is an amazing build so far. Would like to have seen the end product.

That sucks, but it was great to see what you had done :+1:

Maybe jam it back together & bypass the driver for direct drive?

Sorry for the bad luck…. :cry: dt

Thanks all for your condolences.

:wink:

Yeah, I’m also sorry. Sometimes everything goes wrong.

To bad Jeroen. Better luck next year.

Maybe some one in Europe can send you some spare parts to finish?

My builds been a pain also so much wasted work on parts i didn’t need lol. I take it as a learning experience i guess.

There was more than one occasion Justin would start building or modding a torch only to have him say half way through that what he was trying to do could not be done and scrap the build in frustration only to come back to it at a later date and complete it. :laughing:

Too bad it ended like that. That was a really interesting build!

Bummer Jerommel…Don’t let it get you down… too much. I think it was a great idea, very innovative to say the least. So take a break and get back to it, start another one if this one can’t be saved, because I for one would like to see it done the way you intended it to be! :beer:

Sorry for the troubles. I want to add my vote for you to finish this light some day, even though it isn’t in time for this year’s contest. It’s truly an amazing concept, and I’m sure it can work.

Yeah, i’ll finish it.
I intend to finish the 1st battery / driver assembly too.
One of them wil get a P60 head, probably.

It’s always captivating to see people doing things in a way you had never thought of. I’ve learned a fews things thanks to your trial and errors, I don’t know yet if I will use some of this things but I’m very gratful for your creativity.
Keep up the good work and your hands busy.
