Old Lumens Flashlight Challenge 2019 - Final Results

How long until next years competition starts?

Thanks for the nice summary, CRX!

Thank you for all your support both here and in the build threads :THUMBS-UP:

The results of the contest should be published in one to two weeks.

I want to say it has been an Honor to compete in this years Old Lumens Flashlight Modders & Builders Challenge. :smiley:
.
What a variety of Lights were offered up in competition by many light lovers around the world. :+1:
.
And it has been wonderful to see all the builds in progress and the fun of sharing our various skills and knowledge and many brave ones jumping in while learning along the way. :student:
.
Also remembering Old Lumens who started BLF along with others like himself many years ago. The Torch that was lit back then still burns Brightly today, and now We All carry it together. :smiley:

Hello BLF

I am back with a half decent internet connection and am totally amazed at what you all did !

Thank you VERY MUCH to CRX for the fantastic summary (even if at first sight i thought that my new brand internet connection was already broken while it was trying to load the pictures ;) )

I'll have to get some time and look at each build for more details but again : Hats off to everyone including contest staff !

It is Saturday and the suspense is killing me! I can’t wait for the results :D.

Better the suspense than Corona :person_facepalming:

But agreed! :smiley:

True. My liver generally doesn’t like alcohol so we’ll be having none of that :beer: .

It is easy to see the level of competition this year is very high. Everyone did a fantastic job on their lights, so the judges are heavily challenged this year. I think BLF hit a home run this year. :+1:

But everybody besides me has been disqualified! So it shouldn’t be too difficult …

Hahaha :smiley:

You cheeky bastard :smiling_imp:

The final results for the Old Lumens BLF Flashlight Challenge 2019 are here!

Eheh, congrats to the winners on the 3 categories and congrats to all the contestants this year :partying_face:
Also, thank you judges for taking the time to evaluate our works and for deliberating on it :wink:
As a contestant myself, I hope you had a good time seeing our threads :+1:
And I thank you for the nice comments on my thread and mod :star:

On a particular note, thanks CRX for putting things together! :beer:

Congrats everyone! Good job!

I’ve really enjoyed reading the threads, thanks to everyone who competed and organised.

Good game everyone, I really enjoyed following along with all the builds!

Congratulations to all participants!!

gchart, I “knew” you were going to take first in the hand made class. I really love your light; concept, workmanship, the whole thing! Very well done!

I agree gchart did an excellent job. I noticed form-factor pretty much explains rankings, but gchart broke through that! Nice job :+1:

Congrats to everyone and special kudos to gchart for the classy looking build that sets the bar very high and YuvalS for the "dedication facing adversity" spirit !
