We just hit 1000 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 Acebeam Pokelit 2AA I recently reviewed. I can ship it anywhere in the USA or EU, but EU winners will have to wait until late July.

I don’t qualify (I haven’t posted yet) and don’t need another light anyway. But I’m excited to see some familiar faces over here, and hope to see this place grow.

Im always on the search for a great pen light. I work in live audio. Im backstage at concerts essentially and am using flashlights constantly. Unfortunately ive always found lithium sized lights too big since im also carrying a knife, leatherman, walkie talkie, tour passes, earplug case, blah blah blah. I end up buying cheap pen lights but am def on the lookout for aa or aaa lights that have functionality and good build quality. Ideally one that can be white light or red with adjustable brightness. Not sure if thats a thing.

Edit: Just sent myself down a rabbit hole lol. Anybody have thoughts on the Emisar D2 dual channel 14500?

Thanks for doing this @Zak I really appreciate having a secondary flashlight community that has the same good vibes.

I’m not entering into this one, so don’t count me in!

I would also like to keep this community growing as well, so I think I’m hoping to do some giveaways here as well!
