"Old-Lumens" was a predominant member of the Budget Light Forum. He loved to make things, particularly flashlights and related items, with his own hands. The work he did took extraordinary effort, and inspired others. He went even further to encourage others to build things, and be creative, by starting the annual Old-Lumens Challenge.
Sadly, Justin (Old-Lumens) passed away in 2016. We here at BLF wish him to rest in peace, and continue to celebrate his life by hosting the yearly Old-Lumens Competition.

Thanks for this great thread with a very nice OP loaded with pics and links. You collected a comprehensive line-up of sponsors for the 2019 version
I hope that when I find the time and dedication for my own entry someday, that the competition is still alive. This year I stick once more to watching in awe the newest creations of the contenders!
Who made that pistol one? - that’s insane lol!
Oh btw CRX that lightsaber I linked you to - it’s a tenner cheaper elsewhere now (ones on it way as I type) YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!
That was probably due to the photobucket policy change. I do still have all the photos though, if i can get the time some day i can re-upload to them to my imgur account and edit that topic of the two contest builds.
I wonder if it would make sense to create some BLF-controlled archive for the case of another image host going rogue…
I literally mean a zip with pics that anyone can download. Or maybe a build thread dump.
