Giveaway: 3000K Acebeam T35 for 3000 members (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

35 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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.

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.

I'm in too, thanks for your generosity!

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

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

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

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 1 month ago

Please count me in too!

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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] 1 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

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

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 1 month ago

Count me in.

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

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

Lurkers in shambles

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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?

Are you the same Zak from reddit?

I am.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't qualify but good luck to everyone!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month 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.

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

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

🤞

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

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

whoa, cool! entering the giveaway :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Here's hoping!

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

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

Yes please!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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