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.

Lurkers in shambles

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

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Don't qualify but good luck to everyone!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months 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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

whoa, cool! entering the giveaway :)

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

You do qualify by virtue of having commented on the last giveaway I did, and you are in fact the winner this time around.

Please DM me a shipping address ASAP.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Sorry I'm late on this. Things came up.

comments = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('ul.comments li .person-listing span'))
names = comments.map((x) => x.textContent)
names[Math.floor(Math.random() * names.length)]
"@[email protected]" 

However, @[email protected] has never posted or commented here before and is not eligible to win.

names[Math.floor(Math.random() * names.length)]
"fistac0rpse" 

@[email protected] is also not eligible to win, which is probably why they deleted their comment.

names[Math.floor(Math.random() * names.length)]
"@[email protected]" 

@[email protected] commented that they don't think they qualify, but actually did comment on the previous giveaway, which does qualify.

Congratulation to the winner!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

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

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

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?

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

CRI 95 SFT-40? Count me in! Thanks for the giveaway!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I would love to win that awesome light! ^^

I have no idea why I would want a flashlight but the little being in my head still wants to collect shiny objects hahaha

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Have yet to add an Acebeam to my collection, this looks like a good one for sure!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I'm in too, thanks for your generosity!

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