@CNCman

I’m in with the New Modified Light Category. I want to thank everyone here for all the help and encouragement. Also those who opened this new category, this made it possible for those who are time restricted to enter.

Good Luck to everyone and enjoy all the chatter ! I'm looking fwd to the Builds and Mods.

And if you are considering jumping in, Just Do It, you will have good company.

Thank you too!

With continued support from members, sponsors, sb56637, organizers and contestants we will keep this tradition alive :THUMBS-UP:

My entry https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/59693 I had been planning this anyway and thought it would be an appropriate build seeing as the idea came from Old Lumens.

Ok, I need to get started on mine but (embarrassing as it is) I don’t remember where to post it!

I’ve gathered materials after sitting down and drawing a napkin sketch, so I pretty much know what I’m going to do just haven’t started yet… be doing good to remember where I left the lathe.

My entry is listed now… <>

I added my entry for the Modified Light Category in this thread:

MascaratumB’s entry – Old Lumens Contest 2019 - Modified Light Category [FINISHED on 8th February 2020]

Finished mod photo! [image] PRESENTATION Hi BLF! So… I don’t have the skills and / or tools to enter the categories “Machine Made” or the “Hand Made” lights in this year’s Old Lumens Flashlight Modders & Builders Challenge 2019. But, as this year’s competition has a “Modified Light Category”, I decided that I will enter and (try) do something! If everything goes well, by the end of the deadline I should be able to present a modified flashlight. I don’t foresee an extreme mod (don’t expect…

Cheers and good buildings/ modding everyone

Finished: Lumenzilla's entry for Modified Light Category - 2019 Old Lumen Contest

Instead of finishing my stucked contest entry, I decided to mod a flashlight that I wanted to do since long time ago and hopefully I can enter this into the contest. The idea was to build a personalised flashlight out of cheapo flashlight hosts. Day One This is a Yupard C3 stainless steel from Aliexpress. I wanted to make it into stone wash finish but ended up became a rustic look flashlight. [image] Now remove all the components inside and do something with the host. [image] Rebuild the …

and here is one photo of one flashlight (older members here will know what this is)…for those who are wondering: yes it is signed by old lumens himself

Question…
With an entry in the machine made category would it be a problem if I ALSO made a thread in the modified light category?

I have something in mind that would be appropriate there…

Right near the top of the first post it states, “All skill levels are very welcome and you can enter into one of the categories below:”

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

One of the categories below… seems clear enough, thanks.

I’ll enter the second one when I get rolling on it, hopefully tomorrow.
