Wow! I didn’t expect first place!

Thank you!

And congrats to the other winners and those that placed. We had some really great lights this year.

Personally, I was happy just having been a part of it.

Gratulations to the other winners and a huge thank you for organizing the contest again. It was a blast being part of it.

Thank you so much for organizing and thanks to all the judges! I’m already working on new ideas for next year and am super happy I was able to contribute this year!

Well done to everyone else who submitted a light this year, and thanks a lot to the judges and all those working behind the scenes to make this happen.

It was inspiring seeing just how imaginative (and ambitious!) people got with their creations!

'Grats everyone, great submissions overall!

This year was absolutely amazing. Pretty sure nobody quit the challenge with a unfinished build and there was a huge number of entries altogether. There were some really cool and unique ideas. Thanks everyone!

Wow what a great surprise! Thanks so much to the organisers! And congrats to everyone else, I’m really inspired by some of the other entries I saw

I’m with @Ruckusmattster , would be crazy to not pick the second 3x21D!

Ooooh! You guys are killing me! I’ve been wanting a 3x21d for a while.

Ok… Time to figure out what else is good

Congratulations to everyone! :cowboy_hat_face: :flashlight:

I am choosing a Brinyte PT16A (outdoor kit).

Thank you Brinyte and everyone involved in the challenge; moderator, judges, all sponsors, and participants., in no particular order.

I’ll pick a Brinyte ZT40 in IR850 if that is possible. Practicality won over getting an interesting toy.
Thank you Brinyte and the other sponsors for putting up the prizes.

Hi there, Id like to choose the second Brinyte PT16A as my prize if that’s possible. Also would it be alright to ship it directly from Brinyte because last year it took ages to ship from America as well as a fairly large customs charge. I’m based in Europe.

Also many thanks to everyone for making this year a success.

1 Thank

Yes, the only lights I am shipping are the Convoy 3X21Ds.

Congrats everyone who won a prize and thanks to everyone participating in this contest!

I’ve been a lot busier this past year, so in hindsight I probably should’ve finished off a project instead of jumping into building a new light from scratch haha. I might start documenting one properly for the next contest…

I’m going to put my choice out in advance as I don’t have much time this week otherwise, so if possible my first choice would be the E26 in green, but if that has been claimed I’d go for the blue TAC 2AA. There is a non-zero chance those are going to be played with for a couple days before being torn down for an emitter swap or other mods…

Edit: just realised I pressed the wrong reply button haha
