This sounds like something I might be able to pull off. Life got in the way with my BLF Scratch-Made Contest build. It never really got off the ground. If I get a chance, I’ll still probably do it later. But, this is a much easier contest for me, because I don’t have a lot of stuff sitting around like some of these other guys, and I also don’t have a lot of skill. So, maybe I’ll get in on this one. Thanks for the chance M4D M4X!
Great contest, M4D M4X, I like the criteria sofar! The scratch build contest appears too ambitious for me, I will finish it some day but the deadline has passed :-( . I hope I can handle this one :-) and meet the to-be-announced deadline!
OK, a contest I can actually win I’m out of state but when I get back home I’ll sent the pics of the most budget of LED lights ever built from flashlight parts. Been too embarrassed to mention it here so far, but now maybe I can. I may not be able to give links to parts though; the host was bought on clearance at retail long ago and I hope exceptions can be made for things like that.
Sounds like a likely winner to me :-) , just shoot some pretty pictures pointing out the rough gritty threads, the sloppy solder work, the cheap ano and the counterfeit led and presto!
While I certainly agree that results should be repeatable, the host I refer to could be any cheap generic and there is not a specific model or even type needed to do a duplicate of this. Shucks, you can even get everything locally offline to do this build. To top it off it’s even useful. How about a $0.25 LED flashlight sans batteries; I could do that tomorrow or nearly any day and so could almost anybody To make it clear right now without pics would spoil the surprise and ten people would do the build before I could get in the game. Once you see you’ll understand- promise. I just can’t do that till I get back home.
