[alpg88]

i’ll take Fully modded 502B with copper fins and LD-2 driver (provided by Rufusbduck).

@kralyevski

and the verdict is: i will take the Mystery 502B, modded by the master himself (provided by Old-Lumens) Thanks to all of you guys who let me have the prize which is in my opinion the prize for 1st place although i finished on the last place…actually it was a tough choice between the two best prizes: Rufusbduck’s cherry wood-copper wonder and Old-Lumens racing engine…in fact all of the other choices that were available here (except DBSAR’s steampunk) are lights that can be easily bought or machined at home (i speak for myself) but these handmade Masterpieces are one-of-a-kind unique flashlights…now i feel like overall winner and i have one small request for Old-Lumens: i would like the Mystery 502 to be signed by The Master Himself

Signed and ready to go. Just PM me with your shipping info and it's outtahere.

[OscarM]

I’ll take all the prizes that’s left! Too bad I’m not from USA, since the shipping from mtn electronics will probably cost around $16, but that’s $24 for a tiny shopping spree at least

[OscarM]

I’ll probably try to get the crucial parts to build a triple for my prize money

[Rufusbduck]

Congratulations Oscar, a idea brought to fruition is something to be proud of at that was a pretty cool idea.

I got DB SAR’s steam light in the mail today and it’s WOW! All polished up, blue glow emanating from the side tube, awesome and heavy piece of work! 3 lights in one, a nightlight with the blue constant, a lantern with the side clear bulb (looks like a primer, a large one, for a chainsaw or something, ) and the flashlight TIR out the front. All told it’s brilliant thinking and well put together. I honestly don’t know how y’all come up with this stuff, imagination working overtime if you ask me!

Thank you Dennis, brilliant!

And Thank You judges, for allowing me the opportunity. There’s no place like home….

Good to hear it arrived safley & quickly! take some photos of the light with your collection or in use to show us.

[MRsDNF]

If you ever get sick of it Dale I'd be happy to take it off your hands.

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

Sure thing Steve, I already over-spoke myself and indicated I intended to gift it… but it’s so PRETTY! lol

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

And besides, it has my name on it already… “DB 2nd Award Recipient” (DBSAR)

[Lancman]

Yay! Look what just arrived…… :bigsmile:

More details on the light Here.

Needless to say it’s beautifully made and I love it!
Steve even went the extra mile and very generously fitted the spare pill with a XPL Hi led and one of Wight’s A17DD-S08 drivers which was apparently made by DB Custom and has 7 modes (with not a blinky in sight)!

So I now have the ultimate in EDC versatility, it’s four lights in one:
The Nichia 219C version which can run on AA or CR123 and the XPL version which can run on 14500 or 16340 IMR. Brilliant.

I’m waiting on some IMR batteries before I can fully test the XPL but so far I’m loving the tint of the Nichia. Never had a Nichia before, or a XPL for that matter, or a custom made driver, or anything on a Noctigon. Wow, so many firsts in one light. It’s going to be a treasured possession for sure. :bigsmile:

So again many, many thanks to Steve and everyone else involved in the contest.

[DBSAR]

Beautiful looking light!

[MRsDNF]

I'm glad it arrived safely. I 'd love to be there when you fire it up with a lithium battery.

[vestureofblood]

WOOHOO! Guess who got an awesome light from Gearbest today.

This guy!! My Ti baton came today.




Thank you Gearbest!

[DBSAR]

nice looking Titanium S30. have everyone else received their prizes yet? (no sign of the Manker yet on my end.)

[MRsDNF]

I haven't received mine yet. There is to many choices at RMM's shop to make my mind up to put an order in.

[FmC]

Have to wait a little longer for the Ti light, although the K40t from the ppl's choice award is tying me over nicely :)

That, & the candy. I need to get me some more of this candy before I run out....
