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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

      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

    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.
