Please add me for 1 more lantern for a total of 2.
Thank you!
I was curious, so I dumped the list in Excel to get a count.
It looks like somebody who is generous and wants his friends and family to have the best.
The runner up is on the list for 8 and wants his pals to be well illuminated in deep, dark, Baja Mexico.
Right now, it’s what we call “vaporware”. It’s a product that is announced but yet to be made. DBSAR has indicated that work on V2 will not commence until after V1 is finished and available for sale. Then again, a lot of the work that went into V1 will obviously carry over to V2. 
The future V2 or “LT2” will be a more expensive deluxe version, with all the goodies & design of this LT1, but with some added features, as in adding a power-bank feature, possible wireless remote control, built in dawn/dusk timer, motion-on/off sensor, and maybe even an alarm clock. and other classified additions. :sunglasses:
can opener?
Cuddly toy ?
bun warmer?
Sound card and speakers that makes a roaring noise like a gas lantern?
Ah, this takes me back to childhood, when I’d want some toy and my parents would assure me twe should wait because there would soon be something better that I’d want more.
Beer dispenser? 
Wooooooow, can my V1 order then, I’m all about the waiting for a V2 with all that sexiness included
I realize you’re just one person, but if too many people did that, the LT1 wouldn’t be made, and therefore, the LT2 wouldn’t get a chance either. :cry:
Besides, it will be a while before the LT2 comes about. You should consider how much longer you’re willing to wait. 
Unlike most on this site I’m happy to wait for the better product and not have 2 of them with one being inferior.
Lucky I’m the minority but yes I see your point.
its planned production date is 2056, with new regenerative quantum power cell instead of 18650s.
Also the deluxe version with be much more expensive, and its not even a confirmed project yet.
That’s the thing about future releases; sometime they never come to fruition. Sometimes it’s better to to buy something very good than wait for something perfect that may never get built. Life is short so enjoy having the very good while you can 
I can understand that, but in this case “inferior” may not be the correct word to use.
The LT2 will be a LT1 with ‘bells & whistles’ added. “Bells & Whistles” that many people have absolutely no interest in.
I have heard it said that… ’a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush’.
Choose wisely……
Please add me to the list for one lantern! 
Ok, after a few dozen designs, shapes & ideas i tested for the “down shade” or lamp shade as a part of the LT1 Accessory kit, i finally hit the perfect one.
- This is something i been trying to perfect for some time, to get the correct shape, color, angles, and configuration to add to the LT1 design, so the lantern can be hung from a ceiling or a tree and direct all its light downwards as smoothly and evenly as possible, with as little light lumens loss as possible, and achieving a good balance of directional light for the times when a above-light source is needed, ( as in hanging above a camp site, hanging on a ceiling over a table to light up that table perfectly, or just as a perfect warm lamp style lighting in a case where regular electric lamps are not a thing.
- I found this perfect bowl shape that was a great color of warm yellow, and painted the inside with a flat white paint. (as mentioned before, i tested every type & color of reflector from shiny chrome, silver, aluminum, gloss white, etc. and out of all of them a very flat/matte white reflects the most smooth light of them all. (I will take photos soon of how that works, and how well this upper-shade-reflector really works for down-lighting.
- Take note of how smooth & even the light is illuminating the entire area down to the base of the LT1 test unit, there is no artifacts, no hard-lighting, and no tint shift. 
( here its running on the #2 mode above the lowest, ( the mode that will allow the lantern to run for days or weeks non stop on four 3000 mAh cells with less than 0.14 amps draw, (0.035 amps draw on each cell. ( this test LT1 has 5-AMC chips per channel enabled. (Lantern set at average 4000K mid-range of the tint ramp) The CRI is beautiful & natural, and at this setting its still far brighter than a 7-watt incandescent night light, more around a 15-watt incan range.
- I am also working on the same for a side directional shade reflector for the lantern.
No problem….I removed you from the list but I can easily add in back again if you want.
I was under the impression that the V2 was a done deal, 100% confirmed.
If there’s a chance it won’t even happen of course leave me on the list for V1!
Sorry for the confusion
Stupid, tired or drunk lionheart_2281 didn’t realise that this post was in jest because some of those features seem very much feasible.
