A nicely designed camp lamp. Please scribble me in for one unit.

That’s an interesting idea.

I wonder if something similar to this ‘collapsible silicone bowl’ could be made?

I really like the idea of the warm-colored exterior, and Den said his best prototype has a white interior surface.

I’m not sure how/if a two-color object would work with silicone.

hello there, can you please add me to interest list as well,

thank you!

Hmmm… Is your comparison of your “too many 4xAA things” made with good reliable brand AA Lithium Primaries compared to a good reliable brand AA NiMH Rechargeable??

That’s terrific! With a family member having been in the Peace Corps, you’ve got access to some useful inside info on their needs. The most important thing will be cost control… so agencies like Waka Waka would be great to leverage for their insight. They might be interested in partnering to some degree even beyond just facilitating the purchasing mechanism (their web portal).

That’s a neat idea. So essentially a collapsible shade can help control how much light will be projected with a simple one handed motion.

If only we could find those in bright white to test.

On the side reflector department, how about some sort of tissue sock/sleeve you pull on the lantern? Part of it could be a fishnet like transparent section, and it would fold to nothing in a bag - or pulled down on the battery tube when not used…

My missus muggles would call the men in white coats to come & get me if I showed her that lampshade :smiley:

I like that idea :+1:

here is a clear bowl with accent colors perhaps we can spray paint it white on inside

She still has contacts in Uganda and she and a bunch of ex-volunteers meet all the time just to hang out. My plan was to have her try out the LT when I get mine and maybe even bring it to one of their get-togethers. It’s amazing how unprepared some of the volunteers are when they go to their first assignments. I sent her 20 or so flashlights and batteries to give to her comrades who didn’t think to bring one over. They could buy flashlights and batteries in Uganda but most were cheap plastic ones with filament bulbs.

She sold off her solar panels and Eneloops for a pretty penny when she left :money_mouth_face:

Power was out at my home for over 39 hours between Saturday early morning and Sunday afternoon. Between my FW3A, Convoy S2, and Nitecore P12GTS, the mrs and I did OK for light, but I’m really looking forward to the release of the LT1 as the wide area light would have made it a bit easier to cope with the lack of electricity. Side note, check your lights often, I found the Mini MagLite I had for 5 years had died on Saturday.

I found a white collapsible one on Ebay. ( i ordered it to see how it works for a top shade) https://www.ebay.ca/itm/173705904976

Awesome! Looking forward to your findings. :+1:

please put me on the list for one.
hope i’m too late.
thanks!
