Thanks for not Grinching me Eternity! LOL
My choice is...duh duh duhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
# 3. Electrolumens EDC-MCE (neutral white version) -- small chips to anodizing, generously donated by etheralshade
(What can I say? I'm a lumens slut LOL)

Hopefully you'll have a chance to repay me on the way back up. :)

I want pictures when you get it, especially of the copper heatsink, top and bottom. :)

To be honest, EDC MCE would be a good sweeper but not a thrower, a good indoor light
From your first two choice i guess you would like to have a thrower light (Or if i was wrong?)
The MCE would not suit your need
Anyway, its grateful to spare the other's first choice :thumbsup:

Cant wait to receive it:hitit:
Was it by sea or air? XD

Honestly, I just want one light capable of burning off eyebrows from a hundred yards. :D

After much research and deliberation, I'll go with:

49. Lumahunter MPV, generously donated by jvc55349

It was a toss-up between the SC31w and the MPV but the MPV won due to its sheer brightness and upgradability factor. :naughty:

Thanks to all and advanced Merry Christmas! :party:

I was wondering about the upgradability myself. Really tempted by this one, but couldn't find too much info in it. All my searches came up with the MRV, instead of the MPV. Without knowing for sure, I got scared off from having to invest in the batteries and chargers needed for this light, for now. Let us know how it works out! :)

Unfortunately this one has an aluminium heatsink, rather than the more unusual copper one. That isn't to say it's not substantial though! It's a good inch and a bit long, and about three quarters of an inch thick. This threads directly into the heavy walled body. No problems with heatsinking, that's for certain.

I can put a photo up a bit later when I'm not on my phone.

I'm sure the boxes the flashlights are in and the huge metal containers they use on ships protect them from that. But 12 weeks is crazy.

Wow that is literally the slow boat to China! Sorry for the American euphemism...

Is it alright if I jump in at the back of the line?

The economy has been tough for a lot of people, myself included. I haven't bought a new light in several years. I'm still pretty much old school here; I still carry my Arc AAA (Nichia-BS). My top flight light right now is a modded Arc LS. I posted a short time ago that my Arc LS actually got whipped by a MinMag LED. That was embarrassing! So I'm not sure if it's even considered a 'high end' light anymore. Anyway, I could use the joy and excitement of joining this list. Either way it's great to see such generous holiday spirit going on here. I hope you all have a great holiday!

would it be safe to say that i am after 27. StylisticGambit ? Thanks for this opportunity!!!

Well you didn't meet the rest of the requirements. ;-)


- All was ask of the participants is for them to provide some perspective (this can be done in private in a PM if need be)
- If you entered and received from past giveaways, be truthful. How much were the lights worth, what's going on with them now, and why do you feel you deserve one this year?

My nephew couldn't get in the Christmas giveaway because somehow his post count got reset and now he's on "probation" again. I know that at one point he had his "about me" filled out, he's a 16 year old kid in Baton Rouge who has been doing well in ROTC and is a great help to my sister, who's a single mom. For some unknown reason the moderators won't approve his posts and didn't answer his email. He used the name "Soulraiser" on here. I suspect that he believes that because he's a teenager is why he's not able to participate in the forums. Like many teenagers he doesn't want to make waves and ask for help. His best light was a Mag 2D that I gave him years ago (back in more prosperous times), and I believe that was stolen.

So, what should I tell him?

Hello everyone, I am interested in getting in on this as I am a High School student, working to help out my family, I don't truly have the money to pay any extra towards lights as it is all going towards bills/groceries. If possible I wouldn't mind being involved and Thank you all very much.

^^ This is his original post in this thread, but I know he'd posted other things on the board in the past. I'm the one who sent him here to ask questions I didn't have answers for.
