I’d be more worried about batterys, I dont think those will be allowed on the plane…
You can carry spares (2) but they and the light (which must be disabled to prevent accidental turn on) have to be in carry on luggage.
correct. Li-Ions can be carried on a plane, as long as they are less than 100 watt-hours per cell, and in the device, and spares are in a protective case preventing shorting with the ends taped over, in the carry-on bag.
Info is found on the Airline’s website.

I will be contacting all of you over the course of the next several days, to let you know how to redeem your prizes. With the holiday, I think it will be sometime next week, before I hear back from all of the dealers involved, so please be patient.
I just want to thank all of you who took the plunge and made build threads here. They have been the highlight of my days for quite some time and I appreciate all of the labor and thought put into them. You are ALL WINNERS in my book!!
Thanks also, to the judges and to all of the sponsors. Last, but not least is the members here who helped support the contestants during their builds.
Well done all competitors.
It was inspiring to see your creativity !

Congrats to all the winners! 8)
Wow i am absolutely speechless… Thank you so much OL, everyone and to the Judges. 
After seeing the great amazing work of the other builds in this Comp, i am really honored.
Everyone here is a winner for the great builds on this years Annual BLF Scratch Made Light Contest. It was great seeing the skill everyone displayed in the builds.
I feel like i have to do something to offer in return, maybe build a second replica of the Steam-Pipe Light to offer as a prize or something, maybe as a prize towards next years Comp.
:party:
Thanks OL. Thanks to everyone involved in the competition too (sponsors, price modders, etc).
I bet it was hard to decide the order of winners. You have been fairly quiet while enjoying the show. Could we get some words about some of the builds/what you and the judges fell for. Speech. Speech. Speech! :D
A really entertaining contest. I’ve got to hand it to DB, that’s probably the most useful of all the builds. Now that it’s over I can say my two personal favorites were Ervin’s and Jerommel’s since unlike mine and DB’s they made theirs from unfitted parts using a minimum of tools.
Well done to everyone in the comp, including those who may not have been able to finish their builds in time.
DenBarrettSAR - Very practical build, which has proven it’s self already in the field. “Steam-Punk” at it’s finest.
Ervin Anastasi - A true piece of art, made from seemingly nothing, but crafted into a mantle-piece that throws a mean beam!
Rufusbduck - Another finely made piece, made with the skill of a true craftsman. Let’s see some underwater shots!!!
Bucket - Making your own reflector?? Home-Anodizing?? All this in a precision-built unit that no manufacturer could come close to offering. I don’t know if there’s a ‘hat’s off’ emoticon, so here’s a few beer’s instead 
MRsDNF - What a monster!! The new king of triple emitter madness, & a handsome bastard at that! Beer for you too!!
RaceR86 - Your build, at least for myself & my work-mates that were also following the builds, had the best atmosphere, helped to no-end by your great video which went hand-in-hand with the light, & show-cased it’s true performance for it’s intended purpose.
Great work everybody - all of the builds were great. It takes a bit of effort to not only make something, but document it along the way, & post it all up for all here to see.
Beer for everyone!!!
I am this morning one of the happiest man in the earth, i win the sec prize, what a satisfaction 
so please forgive me a little rant.
those last month have been really wonderful for me, from 2.5 months i an an father don’t know but it looks like god is keeping an eye on me lately
congratulation DenBarrettSAR you really made an unique and useful light in the same time, i guess you mast be really proud for your creation.
congratulation to Rufusbduck you seems that can’t do without wining, you know talent, vision, clever mind, and all this, have those kind of effects 
congratulation to Bucket really a masterpiece of work
congratulation to MRsDNF i really like what you have done
congratulation to ALL contestants for their effort, i really enjoyed reading throw all the builds finished or unfinished doesn’t mater that much IMHO, you are all winners on my book, important is to try and to be part of something.
of course a big thank you goes to OL for making this possible and organize all i think its a great effort, and thank you to all modders and sponsors
I haven’t had much time to comment before but really i liked the splendid work you can do on stock flashlights. i think anyone who gets a light from each of you should consider himself very proud and lucky. you seems that, not only perform, but, enjoy and love what you do and this make your work very special and unique and that is priceless IMHO.
And in the end a BIG thank goes to BLF forum that unfortunately I have discovery only last months, what a wonderful place to be !
i have really learned a lot here, my passion for lights is very old since i was a kid but it looks that some things accompany you all your life and BLF have given so much to me during this months with all this helpful members and stuff, that i feel myself in debt and back then think with myself, to gave something back to this splendid community, and this together with the desire to see what can i do and the passion for this stuff make me enter in the contest and spend a LOOT of time and energy on it.Of course a special thank you goes to my wife which support me, without her understanding and support i probably would never find the time to finish.
Now i win the sec prize and this put me again in dept, so i will bother you again with my mad ideas and creations so stay tuned
Congratulations to YOU as a new father Ervin !
and thank you for the comments on my build. I am amazed at the work you put into your custom light, as it is really a work of art using bare materials beyond words of expression.
I am honored to have participated. This was a really fun yet laborious experience. I do not envy the judges in their decision, but I am grateful.
Thank You.
All these builds were fantastic. I don’t know where you guys find your patience.
Congratulations to the winners. Well deserved.
Congrats to everyone one that competed, winners and non winners. I can honestly say every build inspired me in some way.
Thank you O-L, judges, and gift contributors. Both this and last year's competition was friendly competitiveness at its best.
I think that we all wanted to see your light in the final pick too. Sorry that you weren’t able to finish it, but there’s a bunch of us who hope you will finish it and show us all the results. When you do, I would like to add a photo of it into the list in Post #1. It looked like an amazing build.
Congratulations to the winners, congrats to the one's who did not win, congrats to the one's who did not make it to the deadline but are still on the way of finishing some beautiful lights, and congrats to Old Lumens for the realisation of another inspiring and entertaining FSB-competition. I have enjoyed it immensely.
As for my own build: I have not even started but my light will be build eventually and I will do a thread about it :-)
thank you O-L for creating such contest, thank you to all participants, it was fun, and inspirational, congrads to all winners. now i really hope next year we have the same contest, i already started collecting ideas for the next build. can’t wait to start.
It was a hard decision for the judges (I was one of them), because you all presented such great projects with a lot of different styles. Thank you OL, the sponsors and all participant :)
Old Lumens, Thanks again for putting on the 2014 BLF flashlight contest. It has to take a lot of time to put it together, roundup the sponsors, moderate, and judge the results. Much appreciated. Also, thanks to the contest modders, Judges, and the sponsors supporting the 2014 BLF contest. And, last but not least, thanks to all the other contestants for sharing their builds, we all commiserated with the failures, and rejoiced in their successes.
It was interesting, informative, and inspiring to see what people come up with in their builds, and the methods devised to execute their plans. Lots of “light bulb” type moments going on like: why didn’t I think of that; I had thought of that, but now someone has actually done it; or, I didn’t know that was even possible. It was, by far, the the most fun part of the contest.
