Announced: The 4th annual BLF / Old-Lumens scratch made light contest

You want some hand made inspiration?
Now, I know this doesn’t qualify for this contest, but it’s done by hand, intense mind boggling work by our very own Mr. Rufusbduck. I had to go all the way back to June 3, 2013 to dig this photo out, it took 40 images, focus stacked into one, to show this level of detail on this amazing little AAA MiniMag from Scott. Inspirational, to the Nth…

It was fun working with you to come up with that design. Too bad we didn’t have the tiny10 drivers back then, it would have been sooo much easier. Chopped host and driver.

I’m in for handmade. If all goes as planned the only power used will be the soldering iron. Expect the unexpected and get ready for a surprise. :laughing:

I’ve thought about this for awhile now wondering what to do, have made the decision to prioritise my time here. I am entering this years comp but the light will not be my highest priority. If I finish a light for the comp well all good. If not then I apologise in advance.
My number one priority here is the XHP70 build.
Saying this I dont want to take away the importance of the comp at all to others or myself as it is something that makes this forum special and helps set it apart from other light forums.

I think I’ll be in as well. Just still thinking which light to make…
