I'll wait for V3...... kidding of course. V1 sounds more than good enough for me and if a V2 comes about and is a useful upgrade, may get that one too.

Updated. Thanks! :slight_smile:

Once the production model is available, and if it’s even equal or better than the Prototypes i have built so far, ( Proto-V1 & V2 i have & use now) then the production BLF LT1 lantern will still be better by far than any other consumer lantern i have tested, used and seen in stores or online.

Sorry, must have forgotten that i am already on the list… i want only one lantern total.

Are we still going to thread a steel bolt into an aluminium nut?

why not? if you own a digial camera,DSLR or a fillin light etc(most have alum bodies) and you have a tripod or monopod then you would do it without even think about it!!!

I know, that's why I'm not holding out for a possible V2 as V1 is going to be light years ahead of anything else

Tripod screws are always coated with nickel or zinc so you don’t have to worry about corrosion, and female threads are stronger then male threads so there won’t be a stripping problem. Every aluminum engine block and head has steel fasteners threaded into it.

Lets just hope that the screw is long enough so when the threads fail you can glue a steel nut, under the shelf…

Interested, please add me too.

I’d like to be added to the list if still possible. Definitely something cool here!

I’m sorry to hear this. I hope things start turning around for you. With a little more hope some others here can pick up this project and have them ready to go next spring for your next outing.

Den, don’t feel sorry!!
You’ve started something great!
I’m pretty sure this project will go on and will turn out great!

This isn’t blf if we’ll let this one go.
