Things on Lemmy are going great! I am enjoying seeing the posts and the expertise that folks are bringing to this site. To celebrate, I’m going to give away some AA/14500 battery holders and some TS10 diffusers!
As always, you can get these items from me or download them to 3D print them yourself!
What you can win:
- (2) AA/14500 snap battery holders
- (3) TS10 diffusers (Clear, Glow in the dark, Orange)
How to enter: Comment your most disruptive flashlight idea.
Here’s my disruptive idea: Flashlight controlled by capacitive touch OLED screen. Swipe up for brighter and down for dimmer. Haptic feedback tells you cues (low batt, light turboed, stepdown, etc).

- Must be in USA
- Giveaway is open from now until next Saturday, July 15th, 2023
- 1 winner will be selected at random
- Winner must have some kind of post history in /c/flashlight

Interesting prompt. Um, some sort of standard clip-in footprint for LEDs, so you can swap LEDs like changing lightbulbs. Then you can have a pack of 519As in all flavors and doneness and change them at will among all your 3535 lights. Trickier for higher voltage LEDs, but it would be fun.
Thanks for running this!
This would be sweet! The practical execution would probably be quite difficult, but I would love to be able to swap from 2700K to 4500K on the fly! Thermal sinking could be a challenge, unless maybe each emitter is mounted on its own MCPCB, and the MCPCB is the thing that gets swapped in and out. Thermal issues would still arise, but one can dream!
