The 2002 Lummies, Voting ends Fri. 12/27 Midnight PST

12-27-2002 GFHD Moderators: Please "unsticky" this thread.



12-12-2002 VOTER NOTE: When you submit your vote, you'll be automatically entered into a lottery to win a like new Brinkmann Legend LX flashlight! Vote today!

Well, I was going to post another boring Poll about what was most "popular" with CPF members in this year 2002, then decided to try something different.

I'm going to ask for votes via email to me (at [email protected]) for the following "categories" below, and barring an overwhelming inundation of replies, I'm going to tally them and release the results right around New Year's.

PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR VOTES TO ME VIA EMAIL no later than December 27, 2002. In your email, please submit your votes, and include your real name, USERNAME and MEMBER #. Any votes received without this info will be simply discarded.

NOTE: There will be some duplicate votes for many people even across different categories (i.e. vote for E2e for both "Favorite EDC" and "Favorite Non-Rechargeable [any size]"), but that's ok.

2002 LUMMIES CATEGORIES
1. What is your favorite EDC FLASHLIGHT? Please submit only one light, exclude manufacturer's variations [i.e. HA vs. Black]).

2. What is your favorite NON-RECHARGEABLE FLASHLIGHT (of any size)?
Please submit only one light, exclude manufacturer's variations [i.e. HA vs. Black]). Can be same as your vote for Category 1.

3. What is your favorite RECHARGEABLE FLASHLIGHT?

4. What is your favorite LED FLASHLIGHT

5. Who is your favorite FLASHLIGHT MANUFACTURER (NON-MOD)?

6. Who is your favorite FLASHLIGHT MODS-MANUFACTURER?

7. What is your favorite FLASHLIGHT ACCESSORY? For example: holster, WrightRights, custom lanyards, LED-"add on" bezel (i.e. KL1), etc.

8. Who is your favorite FLASHLIGHT VENDOR? Please list one and only one vendor, and include their URL-address or physical address.

9. Who is your favorite BATTERY MANUFACTURER?

10. What is your favorite FLASHLIGHT VENDOR WEBSITE? Please exclude Manufacturers who also sell direct to consumers (as manufacturers have their own category). Please submite vote for one and only one URL.

11. What is your favorite FLASHLIGHT MANUFACTURER WEBSITE? Please submit vote for one and only one URL.

12. What is your favorite FLASHLIGHT INFORMATIONAL WEBSITE? Please submit vote for one and only one URL.

I hope that covers it. I'm sure I've missed something, but it'll have to wait for next year's Lummies.

Thanks for any/all replies!

I figured people would be interested in knowing who and how many Lummies votes were cast, so I'll try and keep this list updated.

Also, after you submit your vote, you can check in here a day or two later to make sure I've got you "counted".

No number assigned yet, Msaxatilus

This is more sedate than awards like "Staring into too many flashlights, while turned on."

Moved to "general" at Guncollector's request.

FYI, I'm looking for a cool "The Lummies" logo. If any of your artistic or graphics-enabled types wish, work some up and submit them to me at [email protected].

Of course, you'll get full credit!

(finding out my member # to email)

Sorry for the inconvenience, now returning to your regularly scheduled program.

Wow, look at my member number, compared to youse guys' numbers! Maybe now I'll start getting some of the respect I so richly deserve

guncollector - typo in your update list. Onyx member #2481, not 2841. I'd hate for member #2841 to miss out on voting.

Will you be counting the votes from Florida?

When you ask for a favorite flashlight for example, do you mean out of the ones that we actually own one, or can it be one on our wish list as well?

Stingray-

The question it what it is. There are not ownership prerequisites. Looking forward to receiving your votes.

I just voted. I think a great question/poll would be what is your favorite NEW flashlight of 2002? A lot of candidates, KL1, (does ArcLS count or would that be 2001?), CMG Reactor, Ultra and quite a bit more. If people got their hands on an A2 before the year is out that would be a leading vote getter as well.

I like the idea of the NEW flashlights. Some other possible catagories:

- Emergency light
- Long lasting light
- Hiking light
- Headlamp
