As a new BLF member and after finding out about this competition, Im going to enter it! I have a build in mind and I have an emitter ordered specifically for this build. I will post as soon as the emitter arrives and I start building. Wish me luck. I will post a thread about my build.

Here’s my entry to the competition in the Modified Light category: an Emisar D1K with an RGB emitter. Not as crazy as what some others have entered, but for now it at least a one-of-one.

I also decided to enter this contest, in the category hand made.

Soon I will start with the building of this project. It is btw my first project of a self-made light ever.

Hi,
Does anybody here know how to upload videos to this forum, I am planning to include a video to my contest entry. I have seen some fellow contestants have entered videos which appear to be a youtube link. I am not 100 percent familiar with this site so any suggestions would be helpful.

The site doesn’t host video files, you need to upload them to a third party service.
For youtube video you can just paste the video URL and the site will automatically embed it. Same thing with imgur videos.

Maaaan

I’m on me knees :man_bowing:

53

Something has come up in my personal life and I won’t be able to complete my build any time soon.

I still plan to complete the build and will likely update my thread as it progresses.

Thanks again @The_OL_Contest and BLF for organizing this!

I’ve been wanting to build a Pipe Light for years and this gave me the kick I needed to get started.

It will turn out even better once you are able to work on it again :wink:

My build cannot be completed, as the chosen driver is not compatible with the pill. I have no other options in my possession and obtaining something by the 31st is not feasible for me.

Edit: a slim chance I can do this.

56

What size driver do you need?

Edit: I have spare 17mm 7135 based drivers if that would help?

57

I might have something too. What size and other details would work for you? Clicky switch or e-switch, and whatever else

It’s a pity that some lamps are not finished in time… :frowning:

I also went through a phase where I wasn’t sure whether everything would work out and be finished as I had imagined. My personal life, the threat of depression and a few other things made me decide not to do anything for a few weeks (apart from one or two things with LEDs).

But now I’ve found new courage and hope to complete my build in the coming week. The switch still needs to be built, which is a bit more difficult than I thought…

Driver diameter 15.5mm, component clearance on the topside (non-battery side) 13.9mm. Ideally the driver’s diameter would be larger than 13.9mm.

The two “wings” are ~8mm wide and can accommodate approximately 1mm additional width there.

The only driver I can think of that would work for me is a Reylight AA/14500 driver (out of Pineapple/Lan), but I’m unaware of a source for those other than the lights themselves.

To be clear, I’m not looking for any driver. I’m looking for a dual-fuel AA/14500 driver with at least decent UI. Otherwise I’d have left it stock, or thrown in a MTN-DD.
