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.

    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!

    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’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’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’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.
