Subscribed and generally read (very diagonal…) all the building /modding threads!
Great ideias, great skills everyone! In the impossibility to keep track on each and every thread, I hereby compliment you all for the ideas and work done so far
@ pinkpanda, great “small” build you have there! Impressive gorgeous light

Pushed myself to join the fun, here’s my entry for the Modified Light category:
~~https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/59939~~
update 2020/02/29:
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.

Now remove all the components inside and do something with the host.

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…

I’d like to inform that my mod for the 2019 OL Contest is officially finished !
The modding post with a summary of the mod is on this link: MascaratumB’s entry – Old Lumens Contest 2019 - Modified Light Category [FINISHED on 8th February 2020] - #5 by MascaratumB
And this is the “final post” with the completed “products”: MascaratumB’s entry – Old Lumens Contest 2019 - Modified Light Category [FINISHED on 8th February 2020] - #71 by MascaratumB
Thanks for the all the comments and tips given, and thanks for the opportunity to participate in the Old Lumens Flashlight Modders & Builders Challenge 2019 !
I also would like thank to CRX , kiriba-ru , led4power and Lexel for providing invaluable pieces for this mod: without their work, the mod wouldn’t be possible as I imagined it, and I wouldn’t have in hands a dreamed flashlight !!!
To the other contestants involved and still on the run, good luck and good work on your builds and mods, and let’s show how BLF works
Peace & Light!
Great job MascaratumB I like how your mod isn’t just a light but it also comes with accessories
Thank you pinkpanda
Well, when the skills to make a “great mod” lack…one has to amuse the eyes with other stuff, right?
Ehehe!
