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

I did that exact mod to a Roche single 18650 flashlight, put a 2700K warm white XM-L in it, with a 3-7135 Q-Lite, and a frosted diffuser. Its the perfect tent hanging light. :slight_smile:

He is correct on that, warmer tints closer to that of a candle or even yellows, ( 2300 ~ 2700K) does help people sleep & be more relaxed at night. What You Should Know About Warm Lighting

Please add me to the list.

Also updated the interest list. I will be working on the modification to the prototype this weekend coming, and will keep all the recent tips in mind in the upgrades, ( including that it will use simple common 16mm stars for easy modification or LED swaps by everyone. ( it will get modified form the single emitter to two, and a single center bolt-post, and a frosted main lens ( to eliminate the internal lens to cut costs.)

As we all know… TheMiller has been MIA now from BLF for over 2 months… and he was a key team member who had the expertise and contact abilities to communicate with the manufacturers on building our special lights, and he did suggest Thorfire as a good candidate, also Lumintop (who builds our GT) may be another possibility for this ultimate lantern. If TheMiller does not return, we will need help form a member who has the ability & time to be that link to manufacturers for us.

Was talking to a builder and he wanted 10 of these light once I showed all the benefits. He have seen my other light but this light fits was he needed. but Sadly I think it takes to long before its in produktion so he have to go elsewhere.

Interested in two.

Interested.

Interested, for sure!

Many of the third-party hosted pictures in the early parts of this thread have been ‘unlinked’ by the hosting provider. Does anyone have current (or a pointer to updated) pictures of the prototype so far?

Interested in three. Please add me to the list.

Right behind you buddy! Can’t believe it’s already been 2 yrs. How times fly.

Is a $2 red or yellow diffuser cone not sufficient? Just add one to your favorite light.

I am interested in 1. Please add me to the list if you would be so kind!

Interested for sure

List updated. I have the prototype now taken apart and working on the upgrade modifications.

Nice to see you interested in this too. :+1:

Please add me to the interest list. Thanks.

Personally I’d love to see this one use a 2700k tint. Yeah, that’s very warm for a flashlight but IMHO it would be perfect for a lantern. I usually go for 2700k for my home lighting since it just feels nicer and more natural.

Interested, thx.
