I have been watching these for awhile, a used one came up on ebay recently with make an offer. Between the offer and $3 off coupon just bought one for $19.19. Just in time for camping next week, just wishin’ I could use it to charge my BLF lantern. Oh well, I know its going to be the best one available when we get it.
That’s Funny! Somehow I knew I had 3 already and was looking for them but I didn’t see it. I’m going to need 5 anyways, Mom/dad want one, my uncle wants one, and my sister/her bf want one, my neighbor, and obviously myself…
…you don’t need the tube to fit in order to use the same cells in both lights. Any button top 18650 cells will fit in either light just fine! :partying_face:
I really meant that if I can hot swap the battery tube with batteries from the Q8 then all the better so I don’t need to get another 4 batteries since I’ll rarely use both at the same time (hopefully that made sense). Or split the 4 batteries between the 2 lights for those times when the power goes out. All good…
The lantern can run on four, three, two or just one 18650, and even run with no batteries when plugged in to a powerbank or large battery bank via the USB.
Wow, I have read this several times before, but the reality just sunk in. Sure, there are other lights that will do the same, but this is the ONE lantern with tint shifting, high CRI emitter, potential to run indefinitely with a solar panel and a bit of sunshine (amongst other things, including the best UI IMO) AND can run separately via a power bank.
