Next giveaway is live!

This is a three-part giveaway. All of these lights are available only for domestic shipping.

I'll take the first twelve valid responses, do a random drawing to determine the winners, and then let people pick which one they want. I have next Monday (April 20) off work, so I will be shipping all three lights that day. Need prompt responses with selections and shipping info...so if you aren't going to be online in the next couple days, please sit this one out.

Post must include "I am in for an EDC light". Please also include something interesting...a story, pic, video, or link. No judging based on content, but I want you to provide something of value to the thread. Commenting on other content or explaining who you might give a light to is fine (and in fact I encourage you to do so) but you need to provide something unique in your post also.

First item is a Klarus Mi02, blue in color. A real competitor to the Fenix E01.

Second item is a Nitecore Tube, pink in color. A truly excellent keychain light with an on-board battery (micro-USB cable not included).

Third item is an Xtar WK50, gunmetal color. An easy to use AA light with a clicky switch.

Good luck!
 
I am in for an EDC light!!! ( Xtar WK50 please if I do win!!! lol )

"I am in for an EDC light"

Even though Hungary is in Eastern Europe the Hungarian language is not considered part of the Indo-European (German, English, French, Spanish, etc.) language group but part of the
Uralic languages (Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian).

Now the important part: my wife is of Hungarian descent.

I am in for an EDC light

(or any other light as its my first LED! I have nooo idea about LED yet. LED Virgin)

My wife is Hungarian too, your right on the language! Although some words are stolen from English!!! Once while on a bus in Hungary (Gyal a suberb of Budapest), I tried to read 'Pekseg' (Bakery), and a few of the passengers nearby were laughing, as the way I said it made it sound like 'arse'.

Other Hungarian things:
Tokaj - sweet white wine, beautiful! I'm not fan of white wine, and especially sweet, but this is like sucking juicy grapes
Salami - great stuff called 'Kolbasz' mmmmmmmmmm
They invented:

Biro
Rubics cube
BMW Diesel engine
Helicopter
Doctors Washing hands in hosptial (yep, the Dr who discovered this is called the saviour of mothers)

Various other things....

Disclaimer: Hungarian words above are done from my memory, if wife were here she would correct them I am sure.

?:cool: <--- my neighbors after I get my first LED

prnguinpoo, repeating the key phrase makes it considerably LESS likely you will win a light. If you read the first post in this thread, you'll note three things. I use the key phrase to find eligible posts. Only one entry is allowed per person. And I specifically ask for people to avoid quoting the key phrase from anyone else. I'm not picking on you...but this is a repeat issue, and you are the latest example. People need to read the rules, and follow them. Since there is still time, you can edit your post...but as it is now, you won't be in the drawing.

Also, for general etiquette on CPF (i.e., it will not disqualify you - just a suggestion), when you quote a post from someone else, you can easily shorten it. Since ACruceSalus' post is only a couple posts above yours, there is no need to quote the entire thing...we know what you are referring to.

Something like this would be an improvement. It still has all the salient points...but it takes up a tiny fraction of the space. Makes the thread much easier to read, too, especially on smaller screens (a lot of people use phones to browse).
 
I am in for an EDC light

Only a few short months ago, a flashlight was that thing on my phone or laying in the drawer with leaky batteries. An 18650 meant nothing.

Now I've become an enigma to my wife and friends. Cree rolls off my tongue. There are new lights and chargers and drop-ins and batteries where once were none.

But I can't say I'm from Hungary!
 
20yrs ago things were different. - IMHO, having a Bunch of flashlights then 'might' have seemed a bit odd since most all of them operated by the use of a heated wire.

Most people think things are still that way, so they think that we LED Nuts, are, well... Nuts!

If they only knew the Diversity we have today... Just a short while ago someone asked me why I 'needed' Another Flashlight...

Are you kidding me?- It's rather; Doesn't *Everyone* Need Another Flashlight?

But then, I Am Nuts too... <sigh>

Have a Great Day!
