Win a Q3, We have a winner!!!!!

We have a winner!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/str.gif
Fat Tony got it!!!




Pm me your snail mail address to get your 1st "Third Shift Lights" light, Fat Tony.


I couldn't believe nobody had that one already. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif
I also just got through filling out ss-4 form for the tax id
I'll be getting in touch with Sasha as soon as the IRS gets back with me, so that I can get a "Supporting Manufacturer,
or Supporting Dealer icon in a week, or two.
I actually would like Supporting Modder if available.

End of 1-11-05 edit::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



It has ended as of 8 am central time usa.
Thank you all so much !!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif
I now need to go through everything and take print the winners and runnerups.
I didn't realize that a Q3 would bring in so many ideas. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I will have to think through carefully today and overnight as to which ones are going with me to the county clerks office tomorrow instead of today.

I will recompile the 10 finalists and the 10 runners up, post them here and take them with me to the county clerks' office.

Yes, the winning suggestion gets a Nuwai Q3 for free!!
The one who came up with it here, gets the whitest Q3 I have been sitting on the whole time.

I have had a blast over the last few weeks with B/S/T here on cpf.
I needed suggestions for my new business name before I register it and get my tax ID number.
I'm moving enough stuff now to where I do need to register a business name, and pay my taxes just like a businessman.

I sell both modded lights and unmodded lights.

EDIT again Sunday:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

NOTE:
If you already have a good Q3 as many do, and don't need another, I can substitute a 2 cr123 TM115 instead if you like.

Re: Suggestions for a business name needed.

Looking at your ID, the first thing that comes to mind is "Night Shift Lights"

(but avoid Mag-Bright, Purefire, Dreamlight)

Re: Suggestions for a business name needed.

How about " Appel-Lite '?

And if Apple-Mac get bitchy, how about " Night-Brighter "?

I think Night Shift Lights has a good ring to it, though!

Re: Suggestions for a business name needed.

Stephen, I think that "3rd Shift Lights" works. It's simple, and it suggests a built-in client base: those who already work nights and need a bright, dependable, high-quality light. What you need is a slogan to go with that name, something like: "Built by professionals for professionals". Just my $ .02. Thanks.

Re: Suggestions for a business name needed.

don't rush the name !

it doesn't have to match the cpf name, you can get that changed. pick the best name for business.

I am sending you a PM with some available-for-registration domain names.

Re: Suggestions for a business name needed.

Hi 3rd Shift,
How about "Look Into The Light"?
There's peace and serenity in the light. And hopefully a few bucks.
Good luck!

How about LuckyLux? Doesnt sound cool but easy to remember and that is the most important in any business without massive marketing dollars.. go finish a few beers play some pool and when you reach home I bet you'll still remember LuckyLux. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Re: Suggestions for a business name needed.

Some of these look great!
I still need others in case someone else already got it before I could get to it at the county clerks office.
I'll be taking a list of suggested names there when I go.

Re: Win a Q3!! I need a business name.

So far (other then mine below), I like Georges, Night Shift Lights, or Lighting or Night Shift Creations. I would stay away from specific products in the name so that you can expand your business later. (Trust me, you will do it.)

Some other ideas though.

LEO Lights/Lighting
3rd Shift Creations (This has a nice I worked over time to make this ring to it)

LEO Creations
(Your intitals) Lights/Lighting
(Your initials) Creations
Watcher Lighting/Lights/Creations
CYA Lights
Protector Lights
Protection Connection (ProCon)
Guiding light (I couldn't resist)


That is off the top of my head.

Re: Win a Q3!! I need a business name.

If you are wanting to stay along with your current name "3rd Shift"(the end or night part of the day),

-Night Owl Luminesance
-Last 'On-Call' Lights (LOcL)
-TwiLights
-Nocturnal Illuminations
-Graveyard Late Light

Re: Win a Q3!! I need a business name.

Here's my 3 cents:

nite-nite lights /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/twakfl.gif

Bump In The Night Lights

Nightmare Lights

Feel free to ship the Q3 w/ my SpaceNeedleClone II /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif (If you're done playing, er... testing it, that is/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif)
