A GIVEAWAY... to warm up the summer ;) [ENDED - Winner announced at post #69]

Ahhh :laughing: Loved it MtnDon :beer:
This was quite inventive! I needed to take a look at the code chart just to confirm as I don’t know it all by head, becauses…well, flashlights only have the dreaded SOS :wink:
Thanks and welcome :wink:

Bort is budget for sure :slight_smile: And that’s the soul of things here!
Welcome Bort :beer:

working on my entry, it sorta involves a flashlight, kinda :slight_smile: lots of ws2812 leds and a teensy 3.6 and a sd card and a usb power pack ( powered by lithium bats)

first update, 2 images, once It gets dark and I have time, I’ll post the final image. (my dad fell last night, called a ambulance to take him to hospital. just heard back, he broke his hip, so yeah lots of not fun stuff happening)

first image is the light painting stick, its 351 ws2812 leds on a 9 foot long bit of molding. on the backside is a teensy 3.6 with a micro sd card for image storage.

this next image is the teensy with buttons to controll the displaying of images.

I’ll leave it like this for now, just have to find the time to go outside at night, setup the tripod with my camera, setup long exposure, and actually take the photo. maybe tomorrow morning before the sun comes up or tonight after work.
okay here is the results, the picture is a lil blurry, I’ll have to fiddle with the camera some.

best I can do for now, only around 2 years of interest.

I’ll edit this later with a somewhat sexy pic or an attempt to tell an interesting (lie) story.

So I was cutting my grass when my idiot brother staggered out of the house and laid out on the driveway . I took a break and asked him what his problem was . He said "Remember when you told me to buy those Samsung 30Q's and I said Ultra-fires were just as good ... "Maybe we should call the fire department "

going with #6:

Freebie.

Cool, seems an interesting idea :wink: I’ll be looking for its implementation, but I “booked” your the name on the list, so when you do it, you can update your post :wink:

Sexy flashlight pic? :blush: You know what I’d like to see :wink:
When you have it, you can update your post and I “booked” your name in the list!

Welcome :beer:

Ahah, never thought about that, but I guess this and other GAWs fit perfectly on that category :smiley: :partying_face:
Maybe sb wants to change the name of the “Contests and Giveways” for your designation :wink:

I guess you are a candidate to enter the Old Lumens Contest this year in case you want to build flashlight/luminous things :laughing:

But that’s another thing :wink: Again, welcome!!

already have a 100 watt cree cxb3590 light almost built, its not finished. but its rather bright :slight_smile:

We’ll be looking for it :wink: :innocent:

just have to figure out how to mount either the reflector I have, or a lens I have on it, its a flooder currently. :slight_smile:

Sofirn C01S Green with Cree XP-E2 Green
Sofirn C01S Blue with Cree XP-E2 Royal Blue
Sofirn C01R XP-E2

That is double budget , considering the used C01 lights :wink: That RGB is quite nice !
Welcome :beer:

I’m just bumping this up :wink:

Thanks MascaratumB
I had a lot bigger plans but unfortunately that is not how Physics works :)



And it works quite well, as far as I can see :wink:
BLF flashlights are always bringing light to the shadows :sunglasses:
