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.
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!
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!
Wow, I can't believe we are already at 2000!
And don't pick me, let somebody new have a shot ;)
Great! I really hope this community will grow even bigger.
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?
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!
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
Wow, 2000 subscribers for a pretty niche community. This Lemmy thing is getting pretty serious.
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 hardly ever visit Reddit these days, it's great to see the community grow!
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!
I do not wish to win this light but thanks for running the giveaway and being active on Lemmy
Not sure if I commented, but sweet giveaway
That's awesome! I don't know if I've commented before, but we'll see! I've been subscribed for a while. Thanks!
Awesome to see 2000 subscribers. I'm just a lurker, but great to see the growth.
Very generous of you :)
Awesome! Glad to see the community continue here.
Just here for support, don't need the flashlight.
Similar to another poster, I’ve lurked and not posted since coming here from R**dit, hence ineligible. But thank you for doing this!
I can't participate, but this looks nice!
Darn, hadn't commented yet since coming over... Maybe next time
Thanks for giving to the community.
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?
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.
Thanks Zak!
Darn, I'm not eligible.
I too like to see in the dark!
Very cool to pay it forward!
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.
Sweet, Nitecore! They seem to make great stuff.
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.
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.
Don't need the light, but happy to see this community grow!
It's awesome to see so many familiar folks over here. So glad this community is growing.
I don't need it but thank you for doing this!
Thanks @Zak@lemmy.world for running this giveaway and community! (Please exclude this comment from the prize drawing :) )
I'm not eligible having never posted, but good on you, fun community promotion.
Thanks Zak! Long live Lemmy
