I don’t think doing the colored versiosn along with the standard black will slow the production, as they have already begin the process of acquiring the parts, building the components, and began setting up their factory tooling for production to begin as soon as they are ready to start. :+1:
Since Sofirn already has a computer rendering of the lantern, could you get them to send us a rendering in each color? I understand it won’t be exact, but I’d like to see what the lantern looks like, especially in the green and the gold sand colors.
Okay. I’m sold. I never really thought about the fact that I’d be bringing this thing to camp sites where things are known to “walk away”. Nobody will steal a pink lantern and if they do it’ll be easy to identify.
+1. Unless Sofirn has changed their cells since January, their 3000mAh and 3400mAh cells are THE SAME, except for the addition of a protection circuit on the 3400.
This is the only complaint I have with Sofirn as it is dishonest to rewrap the same cells and sell them at a higher capacity rating and price. The cells are actually good values and match their 3000mAh rating, but the 3400 version seems unfair to customers.
I also have a few of their 21700 cells and those seem quite good as well and are, in fact, the highest-output cells I currently own. I don’t know how they fare against the best 21700’s, but they are measurably brighter than my 30Q’s and the (medium-current) LiitoKala 26650 I use in my Astrolux FT03 SST40.
