Across the board the level of builds this year is exceptional. It would’ve sucked being a judge this year. And now I get to cast my single vote across all 3 catagories.… hmmm…. I’m going to have to go back and read the threads again before making my decision

Voted (not in me!) and subscribed

Ohh boy! Whoever is getting that TO50R is getting one of the best flashlights I have ever used. Even flood, High CRI with acceptable R9 and R12,a 4800 mAh 21700 battery and a simple, easy to use UI with the only downside being you have to go THROUGH strobes to electronically lock out your light. The electrical lockout issue is alleviated via mechanical lockout. It even comes with a good nylon case for belt mounting amd protection.

we can vote for ourselves???? i had no idea, hm,,,,

JK, i knew who i’d vote for before the contest was even over, there is one light that i just friggin love.

Voted, but shit can only pick one !!

My vote went to the build that I find the most under-appreciated by the judges.
CNCman.

Stock-like looks, staggering performance improvement. And all of that thanks to a smart idea.

Voted. Not for me, of course.

Voted! For me! Nah. Who are we kidding here? I overpromised and underperformed. One build caught my eye specifically due to how much of a pain in the ass the material is to work with. I think you all can guess who I voted for :D.

I second this

I do love my Wuben TO50R and my son loves his, but I must be blind or something, as I do not see a TO50R Wuben listed as an available prize. ??? There was a TO50R available in last year’s competition, but for this year the only Wuben I see is the T70 + Extension Tube & Extra Cell; the 9th item in the available prizes list.

I also didn’t see it at first but re-reading this thread I noticed it

I need to use that light more

The listed prizes are for you guys to choose from.
Can’t have the same light here and there, as there is only one..

(Imagine the “Princes of the Universe” playing the background! )

OK, thanks for lifting the fog. I see the TO50R is for whomever gets the People’s Choice votes.

Like I said, I was blind.

Aye, right!

Thanks guys!

I love all my TO50Rs!

BUMP!

Come on folks  ! Please VOTE !

Only 50 people caring about the OL 2019 challenge ?

I am not asking you to vote for me as i understand  that a low power 1 AAA vampyr bedlight isn't something many people here would like, but please choose the one you like the most and VOTE

Its close at the top of the table.

Yep, the fat lady is working out those vocal chords ready for the finale!
Only 2 points in it at the top!
Did you manage to organise the fireworks CRX?

OMG 1 vote in it lol!
I’d just to say a few words, it was a pleasure to help with this years competition – there were some very fine entries, and it was horrible having to pick winners, At the top it was very close from all the judges really.
I’d like to thank all the donators of prizes for their kindness and CRX for basically doing all of it, and dealing with us judges!

But most of all thanks to the entrants, without you there would be no competition at all and some of your lights are just amazing, well they all are, but some more than others!

I hope you get all your prizes swiftly sent out and arriving and that you enjoy them!
I also hope to see you enter again next year and maybe me, and CRX will be joining you so they may need someone to run it…. hint hint…..

Is this an offer? I’d do it as I’m pretty much happy with the lights I have with the only changes being the swap to buck/boost drivers with anduril on some of my lights when it becomes available. I just don’t have any industry connections so I have no idea how I’d arrange for the prizes.

Woo_Hoo!! Congratulations!

Congratulations Gchart! You did a fantastic job.

Second again Aah but gchart is a worthy winner Congratulations mate There were some really great entries this year Thanks for hosting this year CRX, you did an awesome job

Oh goodness, thanks for the selection guys! I really felt this could go many different ways and truly close. Seriously, I’m in awe of what some of you guys put together. grin, pinkpanda3310, and MRsDNF showing some magnificent lathe work. Some really nice 3D print builds. Lots of hard hand-work. Well done everyone!

Congrats on the double win gchart.
