bag-o-lights (winner is drawn)

Oh that is easy. I’ll gracefully take a pic of my GB sk 68 clone POC and have it uploaded ASAP!
Thanks for the giveaway!!

If it works, there should be a picture of my least loved bone stock triple AAA Husky piece of junk left on my office desk so long I forgot it was there light.

[edit] how about this? Well, it shows up - REALLY BIG maybe scale it to 25%?
Anyway, congratulations on a nice round number.[/edit]

Thanks for the GiveAway

This one was a Christmas gift many years ago. No name brand on it, the little gold sticker says “Made In China”.

It is used only for the low level laser, in the center of the LED cluster, to make the cats crazy trying to catch it. :evil:

I only use this for finding other lights LOL

But I like all my lights! Unlikeable lights just need to be modded until they are. I see plenty of potential there.

OK I don’t like this light, one of those super cheap harbor freight lights. Even at nearly twice the rated voltage where the springs start to overheat and LEDs start blowing it’s pretty lackluster.

My kind of giveaway! That Bag-O’-Lights™ is a big Bag-O’-Want for me!

I’m in!

But I can’t post a picture of my life-time least-loved light as it was trashed promptly on receipt:
It’s still this light:

…as mentioned in the thread mentioned in the OP.

The only current contender I have for this role is this light:

Reviewed here:

…but ultimately, disappointing. Large for its size, this single AA light is almost the size and weight of an S2+. Although I originally though it might have some modding/host potential, the odd switch arrangement died very quickly and I’ve done nothing further with the light!

@wrathbringer27: KREEPY FOOT ALERT!!! :open_mouth:

thrunite 2c v2

I literally hate the Thrunite 2C V2. It was the first time I spent “more” money on a flashlight and…. it was DOA. tried several batteries, both 2x 18350 and 1x18650. Didn’t help, the driver was apparently never working in this light. A shame because the Thrunite was the smallest 18650 light I have ever seen IRL.

I then went back to my Solarforce lights, they never failed so far and I have built the drop-ins myself.

Congratulations on your 6K posts - please count me in on the giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity.

congratulations to 6k posts!


a “5W POLICE” light and a 3xAAA from a lucky wheel at tinywind iirc

(yes - i know it says 3W on the light - but it was advertised as 5W (and draws 0,8W))

Congrats on your 6K posts!

my most disliked light has to be this TF Z3.

one of the first TF lights i bought, i modded it then the driver blew. then the switch broke. and the fine-threaded zoom i really hate. for a zoomie the beam pattern is to narrow on full flood, then the throw is mediocre. i just never liked this one and its threaded zoom design.

Congrats on the milestone and thanks for the opportunity to win your BoN-LL.

Nitecore EA4W.

This Nitecore is, by far, my worst and least loved light. From the ridiculously complicated UI, to the well documented switch issues, to Nitecore’s horrible customer service, it is the one light I wish I’d never wasted money on. It’s so bad that it stopped me from ever buying another Nitecore product and I gleefully speak ill of Nitecore at every opportunity.

This one stays on the shelf…. Why? To big, to little light…

At least for now…… :wink:


Thorfire TG05, This light would not work out of the box. Beautiful light, just couldn’t get it to work.

This thread just beggs some discussion about hated lights, but, pitty its a giveaway only, so no derailing I assume :D?
(I like UI on my EA8W)

A christmas gift from my mother-in-law with a tint called heisenberg blue:)

Lumintop BLF SD10

Bad modes and broke when I put in battery backwards. Can’t fix or mod.

Congrats on reaching 6000 mark!

I hate this light, the Ultrafire 602C. Too big for a 16340 light, too small for proper heatsinking. I tried to love it, give it a nice Nichia on copper, polish it, make it pretty. Nothing worked, I hate the looks of it. I’ll probably give it new life with a red led as a bike tail light, who knows.

And maybe you want to make a first, second and theird and send out smaller boxes but three of them?

I'm not in djozz and the amount of crappy lights I've had lately is disappointing. I'd just like to take the time to thank you for the invaluable information you have posted up here as I've used it time and time again planning on lights to build. My only other thought is 6000 posts, you really need a life man.

^

You've been on a roll lately.

djozz, congrats on 6K and please keep talking. Eleven lights? I hope this giveaway isn't a sign of your interest in the hobby starting to wane. I don't have most of those lights, but I think it would be hard for me to part ways with a good number of them.

Anyway, I'm in. Here is my least liked. It's an AB-2518 and I don't understand the Chinese characters that appear to be the maker's name. It has a nice zoom action, but the beam in flood is very narrow and the beam zoomed all the way out is still quite wide and way out of focus. The output is pretty dim and is a bit purple tinted. It's wide for a AA (cells rattle) and the flashlight is made out of plastic. Way too big a mod challenge for me.

Been looking for a friend to give it to that has a kid young enough to appreciate it.
