I grabbed random photos from my reviews for the community icon and banner so we'd have something right away, but I think it would be fun to have rotating community contributions.

Post flashlight-related images that are your original content in replies. Upvote images you like. The image with the most upvotes on Monday, June 19 will become our banner for at least a month.

Disclaimers:

  • We'll ignore downvotes
  • Images should be suitable for the roughly 3:1 crop of the desktop banner and the squarer formats used for mobile and the sidebar
  • Images should be on-topic and tasteful
  • Mods may disqualify submissions for reasons I haven't thought of yet

Squarer format (3:2) for mobile¿?

To clarify, it must be one image, which the Lemmy software will crop automatically. If we use this image, the desktop banner will be cropped like this (which may be acceptable, just to make sure you understand).

Got it. Was thinking it might be used for a squarer sidebar img, but that looks kind of cool as well. Thanks Zak!

Edit- 3:1 crop of original

what light is that?

[–] 677@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's a Noctigon KR1 with the reflector swapped for a LEDiL TIR.

I actually pretty much liked the banner we had at Reddit, the one with the dragons or whatnot being zapped with light beams from the guy on the ground... not sure it fits well here with the cropping etc.

Failing that, I vote for the picture of the petal-like TIR, really beautiful.
