Once Lexel gets the driver prototypes built & sent to Toykeeper to tesat with the firmware, then to send one to Barry at Sofirn to test and finishing working on the first lantern prototype to get it rolling. ( i hope.
Iāve, unfortunately, discovered BLF. This is not goodā¦not good at all.
Please add me to the list of those likely to buy the ULFā¦(I havenāt even told my wife about the Taser Strikelight (hey, it was 25% off!) and Iām already modifying itā¦
Itās a pretty terrible affliction. My sympathies.
What are the runtimes on a 1 x 18650?
Subbed
HaHa! Welcome to BLF! :partying_face:
I have not tested the original prototypes on a single 18650 for run times, though they run on 1 battery just fine.
On 1x18650, the runtimes are 1/4th as long as with 4x18650. It is a consistent ratio. If you know the runtime with 4 cells, you also know the runtime with 1, 2, or 3 cells. Just multiply by 0.25, 0.50, or 0.75.
Very true, which will be determined once we can get a production prototype to test each of the stepped modes using good brand name cells. Right now i have not really tested the V2 with its current set up & amp-drain at the different modes, but the V1 was tested to run well past 12 hours on maximum mode on four good cells.
This sounds interesting. I would like to be counted on for one .
Iām in for two more. Should be a total of four.
OH HELL āpast 12hours on MAXāā¦. CRAP I think I need a total of 4 now so please make sure am down for FOUR IN TOTAL
Late, but please add me for 1 lantern.
I will commit to buying two (total) of these.
Has price been discussed, and I missed it?
OP Updated to that list 
We could increase that to 40 hours on max by removing all but one chip on each power channel. 
This lantern could make good use of the Sofirn Q8 extension tubes if designed to fit. Imagine having the lantern fueled with 8 or more 3500mAh cells. Runtime for ever

:+1:
Donāt you mean 16 cells 
driver will be likely without power bank equipped but its there, not sure how this goes
