Thanks for the fun giveaway, i let you guys play :D
one contestant entry less increases the chance of winning for the others, enjoy!!
RSVP? :~
PS: U da man! 
I enjoy flashlights because they allow me to see in the dark it is also fun to Lego them and create different lights. . :p Can I pm you my guess for the mystery light?
You RSVPd and that gives you two advantages from the rules but please read them so you know what to do to participate here, in the actual giveaway.
The RSVP thread was only to get a rough headcount and gauge interest so I could figure out how many lights to put in this.
No, it must be public. If youāre the first to get it youāll have a definite advantage but not a lock on winning it. Of course you can hold your guess but if that allows someone else to get it before you, theyāll have the advantage. J)
For the first category: I like flashlights because I wear glasses and have poor eyesight in the dark and I think I also have a subconscious fear of it. I hate waiting for my eyes to adjust so I always have a light near me. 
Second category: Hmmā¦ No guess yet. 
First of all, I have to Thank you for making this possible. BLF is incredible!
OK, Why I like flashlights???
I really donĀ“t knowā¦ I like them since I was a little kid, I donĀ“t know why, but when I was a child I was affraid of the darkā¦ I was affraid of getting in the dark when a storm produced a black-out, etcā¦. and since that I always have tried to have one flashlight next to me to use it as soon as the power goes outā¦ or whateverā¦ Now that I am older, the flashlights have become more than a hobbyā¦. they are part of my lifeā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ 
.
I think that the mystery light is the FENIX TK45
Mystery light is the uranusfire c8. :D
i like flashlights because it makes my job easier seeing in dark places. attics,crawlspaces,basements and in the winter months when theres less light outside.
mystery light???
Why i like flashlights? I really donāt know, other than the fact that they are useful in a lot of activities that i have, such as night walking, fishing and camping, the addiction is really strange. And honestly, i am not afraid of the dark, but generally i am a bit gadget maniac and like the fact that there is a lot of technology in the most recent led flashlights.
The mystery light should be a good thrower, such as creland 7G5!
Hmm, why do I like flashlights, good question ā¦
Back in the days it probably all began with my dads MagLite 3D, which was so super awesome bright (silly me). Then about 10 years ago I bought my first Led flashlight, which had a great runtime, but not too many lumens 
As they say, time passes by pretty fast and I had nearly forgotten my interest in torches; then, one day, my car broke down literally in the middle of nowhere, and all I had to take a look at the engine was a small, crappy keychain light. After hours of work, when I finally returned to my home, I decided to look up some lights on the net, and I stumbled across all these āstrangeā batteries, like 18650, saw some YouTube videos and so on . . .
The rest of the story is quiet obvious, isnāt it? 
At the beginning, I wanted flashlights just to see during the night while I was fishing to avoid an accident walking on the rocks etc, but once I started trying some XXXfires, I wanted more throw, more power, more flood, more runtime,more comact, cheaper, with a better finish, with a nice driver, with multiple emitters, and maybe more things I cannot remember haha.
I like flashlights because its the techno-freak equivalent of making fire, one of my other hobbies :bigsmile:
Mystery light? Iāll have to get back to you, my brains not working, unlessā¦ā¦itās a $23 coin? :*
For category 1:
Liking flashlights is in my DNA. I can remember when I was very young, lying in bed under a blanket tent with my flashlight. Just
pretending, imagining I was in some remote outpost. If there was a thunder storm going on and the lights went outā¦.well that
was just great. I was too young to have a rationale behind this behavior. I just knew it was great fun. Fifty years later, Iām still
having fun with my flashlights! (no blanket tents anymore, lol)
I like flashlights because Iām weard or thatās what my wife thinks
I like flashlights because Iām amazed by the technology since LEDs are invented. And I can show them off to my non flashaholic friends and they would go āWowā.
mystery light could be Shadow TC6
I like flashlights because I love the night time and I need light to enjoy it even more!
Mystery light is Fandyfire Stl-V6
I donāt know why i like flashlights but I just do! It all started in 1995 and will never end.
p0708 you beat me to the mystery light Shadow TC6.
or could it be a batman light??
I recently got into lights thanks to getting into night riding on my new mountain bike. First it was a cheap and nasty 4 led plastic flashly light, now I have an ametuer collection of 7 high powered xml flashlights after 1 month of discovering this forum!
Of course it isnāt entirely practical, driving around at night in Vietnam isnāt safe. Other than that I just love these things, they feel and look so cool!
The mystery light, Shadow JM05, something about wolf being written on the tail cap seems to spring to mindā¦
I like flashlight, just because that's the way it is. It's just in me. Has been ever since I was a kid (cheap incans), college (mags), first jobs (halogens), unemployment period (cheap $0.60 LED lights), and now a bit steady in the older days (XM-Ls & Li-ions... alright!). Life is good.
