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.

    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!

    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!

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

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

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

    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?

    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.

    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!

    Awesome! Glad to see the community continue here.

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

    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!

    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?

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
