We just hit 2000 subscribers! I’d like to thank everyone for showing up here to create a new community, and what better way than giving stuff away?
I’m giving away the Nitecore MH10 v2 I reviewed. I can ship it anywhere in the USA or EU, but EU winners will have to wait until mid September. This is a basic, beginner-friendly flashlight that can accept almost all 18650 and 21700 batteries.
To enter, leave a top-level comment on this post before midnight UTC on Sunday, August 27, 2023. Only accounts that have posted or commented on /c/flashlight prior to this being posted are eligible to win.
While I’m not eligible, I’m glad to see a flashlight community on the fediverse! Subscribed.
Shit I didn’t know this sub existed.
Well it’s good seeing you here anyways, Zak.
Obviously I’m disqualified since I haven’t posted in the community before, but as a short term lurker I appreciate you giving back to the community.
Good luck to all!
I’m glad we are on c/flashlight, because I misread this for a different community at first and was confused on how this one would work.
Wow, 2000 subscribers for a pretty niche community. This Lemmy thing is getting pretty serious.
Not in EU or USA so not commenting for participating. Just happy that 2000 people joined a niche sub after leaving Reddit
Thanks for giving to the community.
I do not wish to win this light but thanks for running the giveaway and being active on Lemmy
Very generous of you :)
I’ve always tried to find good flashlights, but seem to fail almost every time. The best flashlights I’ve got are actually little tiny rechargable ones I got for my bike.
The main things I care about are:
- rechargable
- long lasting battery
- decent brightness
Would be nice features:
- usb-c charging
- replaceable battery
Things I would love to see, but almost never do, are:
- not having to toggle through every damn brightness and flashing setting and just be able to turn on/off with a single button
- red, orange, or yellow setting so I don’t fuck up my night vision
Are these things unreasonable? Am I just crazy?
not having to toggle through every damn brightness and flashing setting and just be able to turn on/off with a single button
You’re in luck, this is one of OP’s own requirements for all the lights on the “arbitrary list”:
A user interface where a single click turns the light on in a reasonable mode, and another single click turns it off.
I will contribute with a flashlight meme themed limerick:
There once was a man without foresight
Who’s wife did not approve his new flashlight
His Visa credit card
Lay out in the yard
But came four weeks later his new Hank light
Is this a bad time to mention that the D1K is on sale for $30, and can be had with the new Nichia 719A?
Wow, I can’t believe we are already at 2000!
And don’t pick me, let somebody new have a shot ;)
Nice light! Are Canadians eligible? Thanks!
If you win, we’ll talk about shipping and customs.
Thanks kindly good Lemming
You won!
Please figure out the best way to ship from the US or Germany. If it’s much more than domestic shipping, I may ask you to contribute something to the cost of shipping. You may have to pay something to customs as well.
Thanks amazing, thank you!
UPS/FedEx/USPS should work and no problem with chipping in for shipping, let me know
I am in western Canada so shipping from US would be easiest
Winner selection:
$(".comments").children.length > 44I requested a random integer from 0 to 43 from random.org and got 37, which is this comment, however MayvisDelacour has never posted to /c/flashlight and is not eligible to win.
The next try got 15, which is this comment. TheBlackKnight is eligible to win after figuring out shipping and customs to Canada.
That’s awesome! I don’t know if I’ve commented before, but we’ll see! I’ve been subscribed for a while. Thanks!
