Most memorable experience here at BLF is probably when I lit up my cheap Ultrafire SK 96 for the first time after having added a 470 Kohm on top of the capacity of the driver, following this thread . Something magic happened : the dreadful “next memory mode” was gone for good, and the flashlight had become useful and nice.
In general my best experience in BLF is to talk with people of all countries in the world about knives and flashlights, it is hard to find people that love that things and you can see how the people of different countries are very similar too.
Man, I have so many memories here. I think I spend too much time on BLF.
All the awesome giveaways.
Don’s old assistant and the new ones.
E’s health trouble, probably from his cool custom drivers.
simpleman’s actual need for flashlights for his vision.
gords family unity
O-L being so darn nice giving things away that he ends up in the red every year.
a few scammers and spammers along the way that SB and we take care of.
I think for me my favorite so far has been getting a cell from mattthemuppet and a mag LED module from O-L and then making a crappy light into a useful one.
My most memorable moment was when I realized that this forum is filled with really nice, generous, helpfull and very capable people with a dedication and love of flashlights.
Great forum, amazing people! Thanks for the give away Ryan
Most memorable thread for me is OL’s thread on building your own copper star with copper and kapton tape. Although it is easier to use a premade board now, it can still be handy if you needed a custom size. It also is a great “educational” thread.
Sorry ryansoh3, I could remember the most memorable experience, because this is an awesome forum and I have every week some great experiences. Great reviews from other members, nice comments for the own reviews, a lot of modding knowledge and helpfulness. I like this forum really much.
Over two years ago, I googled for latest LED light and found Don’s beamshot comparison in the woods. After picking up my jaw from the floor, I recollected myself and started reading BLF in more depth. Soon after I joined in the fun.
A lot of experience from BLF after that but the original still tops the list.
