I’ll be on vacation from 7/26 through 8/4 with no access to my PC. Hopefully sales won’t begin then since that means no pm’s until I get back 
Anyone who’s been waiting and wants one should post sooner than later since I won’t be making any additions until I get back once I leave on the 26th.
Here are this week’s additions and the files referenced in post#1 have been updated as well.
Given the news DBSAR posted above if you haven’t already done so now is a good to verify that your BLF user name is correct in either of the files. Since the pm’s will be sent based on the names in the files it’s important that it be correct.
Thanks

Are the 1/4-20 screw holes helicoiled? ,frequent use of that will gall / wallow those threads out in aluminium
I plan to bring camera bipod on every trip with this light I camp out roughly 2-3 nights a week
Hello, when is this available to order?
Please put me in for 3 pieces
Regards Xandre
You do not mention that the diffuser is made more transparant than the prototype. Did they do that after all?
In the team chat Barry has three choices of diffuser, most opaque to least from left to right. Speculation only here for a moment, but I suspect Barry will mail them to DBSAR to test to see which is acceptable.
that they had 3 types made for testing 
Most likely will be after that so no worries 
The closer it gets the more excited I get hahaha 
another 2 more for me please. excited :]
Having a choice of several diffusers of different translucency would be terrific — this way you can change the diffuser based on the needs. Or have one design with a sliding surface that acts like a polarizer!
Hmm, having to choose my favourite diffuser would be one choice too many for me . I trust Den to choose the perfect one for me.
How have I not seen this!? I’m totally in for one. I have been wanting a lantern for so long. None have quite hit the mark for me, but this looks great.
The final design looks stunning! They not only managed to make the top part more functional, but also to make it slimmer and more elegant. But another thing I have noticed on the render image, is that the surface around the upper tripod mounting hole is normal knurling. Shouldn’t that area be flattend to have more contact area to the tripod plate?
Hope it’s OK to post this… just brainstorming an idea. A kind of “dynamic” diffuser. It has 2 elements: a fixed inner shell and a rotating outer shell. They each have a polarized half where one is rotated 180 degrees. Here’s the visualization:
This is just a “quick sketch.” But hope this can provide a seed bed for an evolved design that might be feasible.
Just made 5 nights camping reservations on Catalina Island in late September, really hoping to bring the LT1 with me on this trip.
Interesting idea :+1: maybe we can look into something like that for V2 deluxe model in the future.
I think I’m down for one so far. I’m going to have to bump that up to 2.
The final version is impressive and up for it.
Just out of curiosity ,you experts might have already thought through and scrapped the idea.
Was there any rationale,say $$, for not making the hanging hook …a double-hook hang loop…same thing but split to two.
I love the same feature in my current lantern(BD Voyager), its easy to hook it up with any existing hooks/loops without the need for carabiner or s biner,simply split and insert to loop and close it.
Also I do recall few post around where to buy/reaching out to distributors around stocking up on 18650 cells.Are those still in pipeline?I need them for LT1.I just have one for now.Any good suggestion,kindly update.I know our fellow Canadians have it ,in first page…
