2000 subscriber giveaway

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.

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.

6

Shit I didn't know this sub existed.

Well it's good seeing you here anyways, Zak.

5

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!

5

Awesome! I think c/flashlight is a really great alternative to r/flashlight, especially if more people would post here.

And thanks for the giveaway!

5

Not in EU or USA so not commenting for participating. Just happy that 2000 people joined a niche sub after leaving Reddit

4

Wow, I can't believe we are already at 2000!

And don't pick me, let somebody new have a shot ;)

I do not wish to win this light but thanks for running the giveaway and being active on Lemmy

3

That's awesome! I don't know if I've commented before, but we'll see! I've been subscribed for a while. Thanks!

3

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.

If you win, we'll talk about shipping and customs.

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.

2

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

1

Holy crap. Not been able to afford a new light for a while. Still running my Fenix UC35. They've come along way, this would be a nice upgrade!

3

I'm not sure if I've commented on this community before but I know for sure I've talked about flashlights elsewhere lol!

Either way thanks for giving back to the community! That's seriously awesome!

3

I hardly ever visit Reddit these days, it's great to see the community grow!

3

Awesome! Glad to see the community continue here.

Just here for support, don't need the flashlight.

3

Wow, 2000 subscribers for a pretty niche community. This Lemmy thing is getting pretty serious.

3

I'm not eligible to win and as such please don't consider this an entry, but I did want to chime in as a lurker that this is real cool and a nice thing you're doing for the community.

2

Darn, hadn't commented yet since coming over... Maybe next time

2

Vanitastheunversed just lost their nitecore EDC. Idk how to tag someone on Lemmy but hopefully they join the giveaway.

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?

3

Interesting. I've been eyeballing a boost-driver D1 for a bit, but after seeing the SC65c thermal throttling and knowing how quickly most Noctigon and Emisars step down due to heat, I might go for a DM11 since it has a bigger head, and will put more lumens "on target" with the TIR. My larger lights are all bucked/boosted and are set up for reasonable sustained output instead of being 30 second hand melters

Winner selection:

$(".comments").children.length

> 44

I 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.

2

Awesome to see 2000 subscribers. I'm just a lurker, but great to see the growth.

2

Similar to another poster, I’ve lurked and not posted since coming here from R**dit, hence ineligible. But thank you for doing this!

2

I'm not eligible having never posted, but good on you, fun community promotion.

1

Yes! I glad to see this community growing! Thanks for the giveaway!

1

I haven't handled a Nitecore light in ages. I did have a 2xCR123 one back in my Boy Scout days. No idea what happened to it.

1

It's awesome to see so many familiar folks over here. So glad this community is growing.

1

Ah shit I don't know if I've commented here before now...

Edit: And I realize if it was it was probably on my kbin account.
