Looks good.

These are few thousand dollars worth of lights. Wouldn’t it be more meaningful if you sell them and donate to charity?

Thanks for you suggestion, I just want to give away to BLF members now. I don’t want to sell them.

I think a better way is ask what flashlight on your collection they wanted and why.

The flashlight with the handle looks very attractive to me. Never owned one before. Hope to win it on this giveaway.

I would definitely love to have it all but that would be to selfish and it is not a very good attitude. If i’m lucky enough I would love to have that big light with the handle. I love lights that has multiple cells for longer runtimes. I do hope that it is a single emitter. You are a very generous guy. Imagine 40 people will be very happy that they will have another light on their collection. I wish your future business to be prosperous and successful. Thank you for the opportunity.

This is a very great idea to introduce a new flashlight manufacturer to the game. Thank you and I wish you all the luck on your future endeavors.

What a wonderful idea, I like the looks of these lights and would say for rules:

- anyone who has joined BLF BEFORE the gaw starts

- anyone who has had meaningful posts in their history

anyone who is willing to do a review of the light they receive (impartial review)

G0OSE · 2018-07-10T08:18:39.000Z

Ok, here’s an idea……… and it could double the number of giveaway lights!
Do a normal ‘I’m in’ rule but only one entry per person and been member since ‘XX date’. Pick 2 numbers every 2 days from the list via random.org and the winner of your light has to ( not compulsory) buy a cheap (under $5, could be $0.46!) light from Gearbest/Banggood/ebay etc to send to the second place person.
If there are any duplicate winners just do it again, only 1 win per person.
There’s plenty of cheap lights on those sites, and it would make the postage free (in most cases) .
Banggood low price rising
Gearbest low price rising

Obviously the second place person (winner of cheap light) could stay in the main draw.
I’m sure 99% of us could afford under $5 (cheapest I could find was $0.46 keychain) and if they couldn’t, well, it’s not compulsory :innocent: . Of course this would be done on trust, but we are all genuine on here right?
Just an idea! :+1:
Either way, thank you for offering such a massive giveaway - generous doesn’t even come close!

Henk4U2 · 2018-07-10T08:38:48.000Z

My suggestion would be to include only real aficionados, or members who:

- joined BLF before 2018

- have more than a 100 posts

- have strained relationships

also recognise some of the lesser known lights you show us like Joshua Portinga’s Firefly 2.0

Which (BTW) I would not mind receiving in a GAW

I like your idea the best but would add "under $5.00 or over if one chooses" as a sort of mystery as what the 2nd place draw gets. Could be a lot of fun.

Xikex · 2018-07-10T08:37:03.000Z

This is gonna be a insane gaw.

Dioda · 2018-07-10T09:25:38.000Z

So many great lights there. I would be happy with any of the large models you got there.

so it’s just for old members that knew blf. How about us the new members that we just got into the band wagon?

Boaz · 2018-07-10T10:46:33.000Z

I like the idea that the person who wins must do a giveaway too That way your 40+ light giveaway turns into an 80 light giveaway . I like random easy giveaways that you use a random generator to pick winners . you could give away a light a day for 40 days .
Some nice looking lights …. it’s clear you’re a flashaholic .
Welcome to BLF

lichan · 2018-07-10T12:38:19.000Z

I also think a quick series of random draw giveaways by people who joined before the giveaway and simply saying “I’m in.”

mapache · 2018-07-10T12:43:46.000Z

That is a very nice collection. This must be one of the few collections I have seen that doesn’t have a C8 in it.

I think in todays global society it is important to promote cultural sensitivity and respect for all life.
You should choose the winner from those who have a username representative of a unique culture and an animal.
Difficult to think of any offhand, but it’s a good rule.

Lol, I can think of a couple

AWTACT · 2018-07-10T14:57:28.000Z

Thanks for suggestions above, I will write a rule soon.

Grappler · 2018-07-10T16:43:12.000Z

Impressive collection! :+1: Extremely generous of you to do such a giveaway. I like the idea of not excluding newer members, as long as they joined before your post. People newer to the hobby may appreciate winning more than those who already have dozens of lights.

I look forward to seeing your rules for the giveaway.
