I want a BLF Lantern if the price is reasonable. Never bought a BLF light before. How does it work? If there is a list, please put me on it.
Just bought Sofirm AAA twisties but Sofirm/AliExpress would not give me the discount.
If I can get a discounted price on these lanterns, I will buy two. If not, I won’t.
I truly appreciate the work folks are putting on here to bring out a good lantern, but to jump through hoops to pay full price doesn’t seem right. Just my opinion.
Calm down man…… you will get the same price everyone else here gets without jumping through hoops 
…… btw, welcome to BLF
You have already done what you need to do by asking to be put on the list…. sbslider will confirm when he sees your post. Welcome to BLF and as Dale says…. hide your wallet.
Hello. I just joined the forum, but I have been stalking here quite a bit before buying my current stable of two S2+, and pretty much everything made by Emisar 
Anyway, this project sounds really great, and useful for me, so I was wondering if I could be placed on the ” I’m interested” list!
Thanks all
Interested in one lantern
miniUSB is dead since 2014. It’s hard to find an cable for it in local stores.
It will be the next thing for sure, all smartphone brands will switch to USB-C in the next years.
I guess everyone want’s to have a long lasting lantern which will be compatible to the standards used in 5 and even ten years. This doesn’t include microUSB.

Sounds like a good idea.
Interested in one lantern. I haven’t read through all these posts, just the first post, but this looks great.
Hey! Welcome to BLF! From your post, it looks like you’re already off to a great start in your collection. You will surely be added to the list at its next update.
Yeah…… I could have saved a lot of money if I had waited till the Emisars came out before joining BLF :person_facepalming:
I would definitely be interested in one
Considering the recent turn the project took (altered driver design with dropped power bank function) I think it would make sense to start a separate interest list for the deluxe version.
There are probably a significant number of members who expected this feature, and due to its removal are no longer interested in the current version, but are willing to wait for the second iteration. I am one of those users, and I am pretty sure I am not alone
What do you think?
It’d probably be a good idea to wait until V1 is shipping before starting a thread for V2. We don’t even know if V2 will happen.
That’s exactly my problem. I really wouldn’t mind paying extra for power bank functionality but at the same time I don’t really need 2 lanterns (not sure if I need it at all but that’s totally different topic).
Good thing it’s not ordering time yet so I should have enough time to thing about it!
And would it not be useful for the team to have an idea about the actual demand for a hypothetical “pro” model, before making that decision ?
I think a separate list would definitely help with that…
A lot of varying opinions on this - I would hate to pay extra for a power bank function - I don’t even want on board charging - just another hole for me to fill up with silicon - but I do understand why some want it.
I think V2 should be left as a “pipe dream” at this point. Let’s get the V1 completed and produced and then see how much interest there is a V2. That’s my opinion. I have a couple of power banks alreadyand seldom use them; hardly need another but if I did not have a power bank then that might be interesting.
I kind of agree. No need for on board charging without power bank functionality for me. I had integrated charging on couple lights and used it just to check if it works really.
I’m interested in one of these.
Yeah…. even thinking about a BLF-LT2 interest list thread at this point when BLF-LT1 is almost @ 2years and still not in production is not reasonable. I think it is okay to ‘discuss’ changes we would like to see on the BLF-LT2 here but our primary focus at this time should remain in this thread and getting the BLF-LT1 in our hands. JMO
