Zulumoose:
You could call it the C4, but that might set off a few alarms.
BLF must be in the name, but BLF Lantern is too generic, imagine if the first BLF light was called BLF Flashlight, what would the next one have been?
The next could be
BLF Lantern 2
What I like is a customer can know exactly what it is only reading the name. Q8 is much harder, most think it’s from AUDI and GT is from Ford.
And there are much less lantern models produced than torches, so I assume it will take a while for the next camping lamp.
Apple does the same: Descriptive Name and the next version gets a +1 or an +S

Zulumoose:
My version based on Djozz idea:
BLF L n10
or:
BLF L n10
That way we can just call it the Lan10, and everyone will know immediately what it is, but the actual item can have the cool logo.
The logos are nice, also they need a bit of tweaking.
The first can also be read as BLF Lintern
and the second as BLF Lontern.

“BLF Lantern” is all the name it needs. “BLF LT” to keep in style with the latest BLF projects

Aleister:
I like BLF LT
How about this?
nice simple design
Thank you
I believe a minimal/linear design will be easier to engrave and also easier to distinguish
Aleister:
How about this?
At a glance, it kind of looks like it should be pronounced “bull fart” or “bull fault”.
This could be resolved by changing the spacing.
I like those. They’re interesting, and provide a deeper meaning.
Lighthouse: A lighthouse
Pharos: The lighthouse of Alexandria
Cynosure: Something which provides guidance or attracts admiration
Lodestar: A guiding star, like Polaris

I like Pharos and UL the best.

there are already commercially available magnetic base tripod mounts.
It would just be a matter of testing a few out to determine the best for the job. 4x18650 are not going to be super light, but compared to a dslr with a lens on it, I don’t think would be an issue. People use these to mount gopro cameras on the outside of their cars while racing.

The lantern weights about the same as my D5100 with 55mm lens, so if its powerful enough they may work.
BLF D44 for DBSAR 4 emitters and 4 batteries.
BLF D8 for DBSAR and Q8

So:
BLF L ntern
or:
BLF L ntern
The first logo would be nice for a flame lantern, like those flame light bulbs.

OK, my first try
(also my first try to post a picture on BLF, so can you see it? It can take a while till i get it. apload direkt)
Hm, here is a direct link
Finally.
@TK
Is that better?
I used Jerommels GT Logo. He has the BLF from the Q8 logo.
So it would be consistent.
Does anybody know which font the text is?
This would be helpfull for future projects too!
I got the GT Logo from here:
Discussion thread GT logo
Hey, i was just trying some things, and now this topic is here.

That looks really good! I like that design & name. We can go with that if everyone else like this logo.
