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.

SpeziSuchtel@feddit.de · 6 pts · 3y

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.

lud@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 3y

Shit I didn't know this sub existed.

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

SammysHP@feddit.de · 5 pts · 3y

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!

KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 3y

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!

TheHawaiianKoala@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y

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

Adair21@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

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

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

kubusikan@feddit.de · 4 pts · 3y

Great! I really hope this community will grow even bigger.

masterflinter@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

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

JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 3y

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

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.

Nice light! Are Canadians eligible? Thanks!

Zak@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

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

TheBlackKnight@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Thanks kindly good Lemming

Zak@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

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.

TheBlackKnight@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

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

giant_smeeg@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 3y

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!

eldoom@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 3y

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!

Schlemmy@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 3y

Awesome! Glad to see the community continue here.

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

Nfamwap@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

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

poudi8@reddthat.com · 3 pts · 3y

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

MrAnderson@feddit.nl · 2 pts · 3y

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.

Drewlb@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

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

Sharpiemarker@feddit.de · 2 pts · 3y

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

brennor@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

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

IkoIko@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 3y

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

Rouxibeau@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Thanks for giving to the community.

masterironchef@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (2 replies)

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

Zak@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Is this a bad time to mention that the D1K is on sale for $30, and can be had with the new Nichia 719A?

masterironchef@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

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

Jallu@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 3y

I can't participate, but this looks nice!

Zak@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

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.

RedEyeFlightControl@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Very generous of you :)

Reader9@programming.dev · 1 pts · 3y

Thanks @Zak@lemmy.world for running this giveaway and community! (Please exclude this comment from the prize drawing :) )

trakcon@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

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

DinDjarin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Don't need the light, but happy to see this community grow!

QuikxSpec@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Very cool to pay it forward!
