Thanks Skylight!
Ahah, rain, cold, confinement and time managemente made me do it yesterday because I knew that it would not be good to drag it for days
Well, next year, let’s see what comes in the way, but if I go back to my original idea for this year, that I abandoned, it will be woody too A bit more complex than this one, though
Yeah, havin these small lights feeding on the almost depleted cells is quite good, almost apocalyptical, though, but good!
Also, this one can be on my bedside for just a shy illumination before sleeping
Nice finish MascaratumB
Lots of pics and explanation showing your progress. I really like your finish color design and enthusiasm to bring the Old Lumens spirit of competition built into your light. That is why we are here, to have fun and enjoy each others input, help, and Friendship.
That is true, indeed ! I am not from the time of Old Lumens, unfortunately, but I feel like the contest is an awesome opportunity to learn and to goe a but beyond our comfort zone
This year I was not “able” to get others’ inputs during the build, given the time of finish, but I’ll be looking to get critiques or comments on that !
Thank you pinkpanda3310 Well, it surely is different thing, and although not perfect, it has a different taste than the last one Surely more on the budget side too
Thanks!
Thank you Henk4U2 I bet the king would have liked to have one of these in his collection of artifacts! But then he’d the “flashlight king” and not the “Sun King”
Thank you!
Ahaha, thank you Blahblahblahhuh Well, this is a challenge for you, as I know the modding bug has bitten you too! So…will we see you in next year? :innocent:
Thank you everydaysurvivalgear Won’t you join the competition this year mate?
BTW, my girlfriend said it looked like a small photography camera and even tried to “flash” me
Thanks man!
Thank you drewski Well the name could have been better, but I tried to transform the “joule thief” into “jewl” Not the best conversion , but it will do the job
Thanks!!
Thank you Rdubya18 Well, I guess it will be really unique as I don’t want to burn my fingers again with the hot glue
At least I tried something different than what I am used to do and it was a good challenge
Thank you!
Ahah, improvised, but yes
This is the time I wish I used a different LED, warmer at least!
But not being its primordial function, it will only be that way if/when needed
Thank you MRsDNF
Well, that is a great advice!!! I’d hate losing it in the “woods” But this will probably stay inside, I don’t want it exposed to the weather, specially water :cry:
You ran into the same trouble as me, using a forbidden flashlight part that ruled out joining the handmade category. But in the end the important thing is that lots of special lights are made and documented.
