Krono 1000 Post DIY Convoy C8 Giveaway -OP has build pics.

count me in. my first diy light? all i ahve been doing is buying good stock ones… guess its times to build one

I have the tools and ability, but never modified a flashlight. I didn’t dare to do it, but this time I could try… Thank you very much!

Pick ME!!

I am in, sounds like fun!

Good idea!. I’m In.

Thanks.

Cool giveaway. I don't qualify. Just wanted to say thanks and wish best of luck on the build to the winner.

Member for 2 years and 3 weeks, finally a good use for my first post :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m in.

A member for over two years BEFORE your first post. Sounds like there’s a story behind that somehow . . .

Welcome to the forum maxxi.

This could be a good option to start with the first flashlights DIY.

Hope lens swaps dont count as mods :wink:

Im in, was going to pick up a DIY C8 off FT but I love my current Convoy so why not build it a twin

If i win I have a trick or two up my sleeve that ive been turning around in my head but never built a light so havent used it :smiley:

Challenge ACCEPTED, if I win

Wow, one of the most unique/coolest give away ideas I’ve seen yet!

I’ve purchased lights, but have been tepid about getting in to building one yet…I do have soldering/electronics experience though, but no tools. I’ve already been planning on buying a DMM and solder station after Xmas :smiley:

Please count me in on this!

I will try my luck, thanks.

I’m in.

Despite having soldering tools, the closest I’ve gotten to actually doing a mod was swapping the pill between two L3 L10 lights. Or replacing a faulty switch on a Convoy S3. I’ve been putting off all the mods I want to do because it’s hard to get started.

With a C8, I think I’d want to try a dedomed XP-G2 running around 3A or 4A. IIRC, that can get around 100kcd. And from what I gather, de-doming can be pretty easy with a slow chemical soak. It’d make a nice small thrower, almost like a pocket SR90. :slight_smile:

Fantastic giveaway! I guess I do not qualify, but it is nice to see so many new and even regular members lured into the darkness of flashlight gutting :evil:

Can I enter, can I, can I, pleeeeease :smiley:

Well count me in. Gathering parts for my first builds right now. A C-8 would make a nice build.

When is the draw?

Nice challenge. Im in!

Should be perfect. I was talking about the soldering station with the mrs. I was subsequently expressly forbidden to order one, so I’m thinking there might be a Hakko under the tree come Wednesday.

Sooo… regardless of how the drawing goes, I’m hoping to follow along.

Yes, this is the awkward time of year when I’m not allowed to buy anything for myself. … and I could really use some better tools, but there’s still a small chance I might find some in a shiny box next week.

Yeah, ok. I’m in.
