*BLF LT1 Lantern Project) (updated Nov,17,2020)

If the LED (s) will not be in the center, and instead a bolt will be there, I’d rather see three (or four) LEDs used, so the light doesn’t become bi-directional with shadow lines between the outputs of the two LEDs.

But you’re testing it, so I’ll trust you to come up with what works. :smiley:

Rather than a center bolt, how about a center tube to use as a wire chase?

Brilliant!

That was an option to test. ( a hollow bolt/tube to run the wires to the LEDs.

Pardon if I wasn’t able to check the earlier messages, but around how much would be the approximate price of this BLF lantern?
I’d be interested, depending on the price…

The specs have not been completely nailed down yet, so we don’t have a complete BOM yet, or a commitment from a manufacturer, so no final cost. The Q8 that this is hopefully going to be similar to had a group buy price of $40, “MSRP” of $80, and a coupon that brings it down to around $45-50 currently.

There are a lot of folks on the list under the heading “interested, depending on price”. Chances are good that it will be a great value though.

Add me to the list. I have a Fenix CL25R I have in case the power goes out and this looks way better.

Interested for a second on.

I am interested

thought I had commented on this one already, but I guess not.

please put me down as interested in one.

Interested in one!

I am interested.

Hi, I am interested in one. thanks

Looks great! Please add me to the list.

I’m interested.

A 1/4” tripod mount on the bottom would be very useful, more than 3/4 of the run time my Q8 has on it has been attached to a tripod.

a tripod mount in the base is planned.

Just checking in, exactly 9 months after this post - all still true! Still very interested! :cool:

like most detailed projects, they take time to develop. :slight_smile:

I understand! I wasn’t trying to express impatience, just excitement. :slight_smile: Very glad to see this is happening!

Hi, please add me to the list for one. Thanks!
