It is great to see all you new members joining BLF forums because of this lantern project, and makes me happy to be working to develop an area light/lantern that has the features that no other commercially available lantern ever had, or been able to offer, -its been a couple years in the making, but finally great to be at the point of getting the first BLF lantern project into production soon, to fill that void the market has not done so up until now for LED lantern lighting. :+1:

DBSAR, special thanks to you for all the time, dedication, and project management you’ve put into this. Tons of effort from lots of good people, but you’ve really gone above and beyond to realize the lantern. Thank you, Cheers good sir!

I am interested in one lantern.

4733

Please put me down for another lantern (for a total of 2). Thank you!

4734

Great project! Please put me down for one.

4735

Pardon me if I overlooked it, but the first post is a bit long.

Is there any near confirmed price for the group buy yet?

4736

Count me in, please.
I realised that I cannot resist the temptation anymore.

Hi Den, can you share any of your ‘accessory’ test results?

I’m curious about the top-mount reflector you mentioned earlier.

What is the ‘beam’ like if the lantern is suspended about 3 feet / 1 meter above an outdoor table, with and without the reflector?

4739

I’m interested! Could you add me to the list? For two if that’s possible.

4740

I’m still testing various designs to that, and will share pics soon. :+1:

4741

How far is our second (hopefully production) prototype?

4742

Interested for one, thanks!

4743

Getting close, were just working on some final details to get it rolling.

In for 1 more! #1650 MKayze

I am Definitely interested in one

Not terribly hard as reflows go I expect but a little more complex than simple mcpcbs.

There are 8 emitters and 3 wires so more things to go wrong. Removing the mcpcb will be faiy easy: dissemble the light (one big screw at the top), desolder 3 wires (remembering which goes where) and remove 2 screws.

Being a large mcpcb it will need a fair amount of heat to melt the solder, a skillet or direct flame will help.

You may also notice the tint goes rosy when ramping between those tints

I'm in for 1 full kit! Outstanding project, dedication, and team work. You guys rock! :)
