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.

    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.
