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.

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

    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!

    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.
