I found myself on the list, #672, but I think I’m miss understanding the name check. It’s definitely correct, but I can’t click my name and go to my profile.

The name check is just to verify that it’s correct in my database as I don’t have any way to join my tables to SB’s server. When the lanterns are ready for purchase I will create the pm lists on my end that SB will execute on his end to send out the actual pm’s. If the name is incorrect in my table then that person won’t receive a pm.

Clicking on your name on the list won’t take you anywhere and is solely intended as a visual check. It’s a one-time only verification so since you saw that it’s right then you don’t have to do it again.

Btw the Entry number on my lists do not necessarily correspond to the one’s that DBSAR show for minor technical reasons (although 99% are the same). But the order they were loaded into his and mine are exactly the same for anyone who is curious or worried about that.

Perfect, thank you!

Is it too late to be added SigShooter?

@klrman

Just for info, is there a V2 in the works and if so what would be different?

There is a V1 in the works, that’s for sure We can have ideas and wishes for a V2, but it is up to Sofirn to think it feasable enough to actually make it, so it could happen but I would not bet on it at this point.

Have the feeling this lantern will be one of those legends that keeps getting refined. Exciting project.

Not at all. I already entered you into my database for 2 per your prior post. You will see them next Sunday night when the updated lists are published.

And welcome to BLF

Thanks

Thanks SigShooter. Learned about this project on FB, Flashlight Fanatics group. Long time lurker here.

You should. Just keep in mind they’re quite serious about the rules. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal, though. If you don’t like/agree with something move along and you’ll be fine.

I’m interested in the lantern but this is very much dependent on price, any possible range?

Glad to see your choice! Here’s the pricing info so far and a convenient tool to search for pricing in your future browsing

@beastlykings

@Chasealmighty

I’m interested. Is it too late? What’s the price range? I can’t seem to fix one.

That’s great!
You’re not too late.
The price is roughly $30 or $40, maybe, hopefully. It has not been finalized.

We’re glad to have you here!
In the future, if you look at the top left of any thread page here, you will see a button that says “search within thread”, you can get your answers much faster that way. In fact, I couldn’t remember the price, so I used it to find this answer for you by searching for “price”.

Thanks!

Were not exactly sure yet, but depends on once the final production model is set to go, were guessing between 45 to 55 range.

[swiftblade13]

Ok that’s not bad, I guess I’m still interested

[toehead]

I’m #685 and haven’t seen any PMs yet. Does anyone have any idea what range on the list is being served now? Also, what is the price? I haven’t seen any posts with pricing and I can’t search all of the pages to find it. Thanks

I thought the earlier estimates were in the $30-40 range. Not that it matters but what has changed?

It does matter actually, and it matters to many. Money always matters. I had 30-40 in my memory as well, and that is what I think is ok to spend on a lantern. I hope Sofirn too.

That was before all the stuff got added to the design

Costs in sourcing the high CRI good LEDs, etc. Once the test samples are built and if they test good, then we will know the production prices, ( for both the group buy & retail MSRP.

PM’s will only be sent out when the lantern is ready for purchase, which is still not the case

I think we should do our best to keep the cost down on the V1, learn from it and improve on V2. A $15 increase is 50% more than what was earlier discussed. If Sofirn sees we are discussing $55 they might assume they can charge more to produce it. It could turn into a money grab and it would end up not being the ‘Budget’ lantern this started off as and interest would probably fade. Im glad I have my four Zanflare T1s and they were only $16/ea.
