Hey Vinh, nice to see you around! Your store is an inspiration.

Thanks for being a sponsor.

Very cool and very generous, Vinh.

Many has come and goā€¦Sometime when I slow down to reminisce it makes my heart a bit heavy.
Marshalls of goinggear used to send me gift lights with my name laser engravedā€¦
I have a hard time building a collection of my own because $$$ always gets in the wayā€¦.Yet I have never sold a single light gifted to me. They are all the most specialā€¦

Old Lumens was a wonderful man that I respected from the early days. I am glad there is this tradition in practice annually to honor him.

25

Hi, Iā€™m thinking about joining the machine made category. Is making a drop-in acceptable, even though it isnā€™t a complete light?

26

Making a drop-in is an acceptable entry for the Modified Light category. To enter the Machine Made category, the entire light housing and drop-in would need to be made by you.

27

For clarification, I believe a battery holder similar to the plastic type in this link would be suitable for a Challenge entry. Correct?

28

Battery carriers of this type are allowed.
