*BLF LT1 Lantern Project) (updated Nov,17,2020)

As BlueSwordM mentioned its for the production models too.

Can you put me down for a second lantern please? (Already on for one at #1260).

I don’t need a lantern, i don’t use lanterns, and the lanterns my friends have are glarey little buggers that give me a headache whenever i try to use them to actually see anything. I also don’t do multi-cell li-ion lights, and am trying not to purchase any more 18650 lights (FW3A excepted) in favour of the 21700 lights that are hopefully on the horizon. I also try not to wax too lyrically about anything.

But i followed this thread for a while out of curiosity, and the detail and care that went into trying to get the beam profile right really hit home with me and i knew at that point i would be buying one, not just to own but to support the project and show respect for the work that has gone into this project. And the process has been a joy to follow with all the decisions having a satisfying ‘correctness’ about them. The fact that Lexel and TK are handling the electronics is just icing on the cake.

To have this level of competency in any product is a rare thing and is something i want to recognise, so thank you DBSAR, and all involved.

And now i feel i should buy two, couldn’t tell you why, certainly not for any practical reason, but i know somehow it’s justified.

All imho of course :smiley:

Please put me on the list for two.

I just found out that while I’m having opinions on the BLF Lantern every now and then, I’m not even on the list.

So please put me down for one, if only for justifying having opinions. :slight_smile:

Funny, but I actually stopped reading the FW3A thread a while back, and don’t even know now what’s going on with it, because I found myself having too many opinions and not willing to get on the list. I am, however, on the list for this lantern. :wink:

Personally, I like the clean & smooth look of the top cap as is. The top cap will be more exposed to rain, debris, dust, & dirt; IMO it will be much easier to clean if it is smooth.

/\ Truth

One for me too please.

Very interested

My thoughts are no, why muddy the waters with another list to keep up with.

No malice or anything, but if someone there wants one let them come here. That keeps it simpler to my way of thinking. :slight_smile:

No, just don’t.

They don’t deserve it. They’re never nice with us, so why should we be nice with them?

I mean, we are open and all, but we can circumvent our own philosophy just to punish them.

Hopefully, people can see my sarcasm.

My mind tells me not to post anything there, but my heart tells me to.

So basically, post a thread about it on CPF. Anybody can benefit from this light.

Good points :+1:

Very true. i will keep it here as our project only then.

Actually, why not just post a review about it when it ships?

That would be better than an interest sheet with some of the impatient people living there.

Put me down for 2. Sure thought I was on there but didn’t see my name. Weird.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about but I feel like there is some hidden animosity toward CPF. Maybe it’s their my way or the highway admins?

Wait,what? I think you probably haven’t seen any GB’S here.

Yes. CPF has some issues, but it’s overblown here. This forum has its own issues. There each their own beasts with pros and cons.

I added you but you won’t show up until the lists are updated next Sunday evening.
