In honor of [email protected] reaching 3000 members (yes, I know that was a couple weeks ago), I'm giving away this Acebeam T35 swapped to a 3000 Kelvin, 95 CRI Luminus SFT40. While not as bright as the original 5000K, low-CRI LED, it's sure to satisfy anyone who misses the incandescent look, but likes LED power.

Only accounts that have made a post or comment to [email protected] prior to this post may enter. You should have a shipping address in the USA or EU, which can be a package forwarding company if necessary. Entry ends on Februrary 14 2025 at 20:00 UTC.

To enter, leave a top level comment on this post. I will select the winning entry using a random number generator next Friday.

I don’t think I qualify but good luck all!

Count me in! I just found a Maglite Mini for 4€ from flea market to quench my itch for incandescent.

Really resisting the urge to get new flashlights lately. But if it’s for free… I can make an exception! Joining the giveaway :)

I'm almost certain that I've commented here before. Either way it's always awesome to see giveaways! Builds community and such!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Awesome! Count me in, I always enjoy posts from this community 😁

Don't qualify but good luck to everyone!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Lurker here, bought Wurkkos HD15 thanks to this community and I couldn’t be more grateful. Yet I also don’t qualify! What a shame! Good luck to everybody else.

Here's hoping!

Side note, the title made me think you were giving one away to 3000 people lol.

If I had the resources to do that in support of the decentralized internet, I would.

What I do have the resources to do is give away a light in 4000K when we hit 4000 members, so that might be motivation for people who aren't eligible this time to post before then.

I checked the numbers and this means your community is less dead than mine. What a drag!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

whoa, cool! entering the giveaway :)

[–] ninjabard 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

May the odds be ever in your favor! Thanks for your generosity!

[–] solrize 2 points 2 days ago

Wow neat, please include me in the drawing. Thanks!

@Zak @flashlight Yay! That's a lot of people on there.

Long time lurker and occasional commenter. I stumbled upon /r/flashlight once upon a time, went to candlepower, etc etc.

I haven't made a light purchase in a while, but cleaning up my basement did uncover some large format LEDs I was hoping to mod into a L7. I should either give up or make some progress on that...

Are you the same Zak from reddit?

Oh man 3000 already? Glad to see it growing! Lemmy FTW!

:-( Too late to win the flashlight, too early to enter for the next one, just in time to walk into darkness.

Wicked! I've only purchased Hanklights up until now, so a new brand would be very interesting!
