Iāve been told that if I get the lime green Charger Daytona I was looking at, Iāll also be getting a divorce. I think I can get away with another light (or 3). But then again, it IS a nice carā¦.
Man, I saw this back in the very early stages, but I havenāt been around for a while. Turned out really nice.
Is it still possible to get on the list for two?
Thanksā¦
Nope not too late. I added you for 2.
sorry, may I also have 2 lanterns? thanks!
@Toykeeper: Can you please confirm that the UI chart (see āŗ here ā) for the LT1 lantern is the final version? Sofirn sent me the (English) manual for translation today. I presume they will ship the initial batch with the English version only and include multi-language manuals in later batches. I intend to incorporate your nice UI chart into the updated manual (both English and German) that I also plan to host on my Sofirn sharepoint on Google Drive. If all works out as planned the manual might be able to download in two weeks from now.
Cheers,
Thomas
:+1: it is the correct one as far as i know.
Do we want to sub in the production logo (your B&W or my colorized) or am I being too OCD on it?
The LT1 Andruil drawing has already been sent to Sofirn for the manual last week when Toykeeper posted it.
Interested!
I just checked the manual they sent to me. It contains the UI chart from Toykeeper but not the production logo. I think the colorful black-on-white logo would look better on white paper, wouldnāt it?
I suggest to put the logo here.
Odd i havenāt seen that manual yet to check over it.
In for 2, looking forward!
Great that we already have a finished manual. @Lux-Perpetua, could you please upload it in a readable resolution, so we can have a look at it?
If all the other text is black on white paper a colored logo will cost extra and wonāt make the light work any better.
Itās not. Thereās already color on the paper (if they print it in color as shown above).
Please put me down for another oneā¦ thatās 2 total.
Thank you!
@DBSAR and all the others involved, thank you for mustering together such a useful high tech lantern. Its an incredible effort thatās coming together beyond all practical expectations. Like so many other BLF projects, you really dug in deep to make this one as good as it can be. Your attention to detail is just phenomenal.
Ive been using a Coleman 228 lantern (which has a large hood to reflect light downward) to provide wide area lighting during camping. If no trees are close by my camp, I mounted it to a 12 foot telescopic pole (1/4 x 20 mount). Itāll be interesting to see how the LT1 compares when lifted on the pole or dangling from a tree.
THANKS AGAIN!!!
Love those classic big-hat 228s! :+1: I have a few of them in my Coleman GPA lantern collection, they can produce some good warm powerful light & heat on cold winter nights when our power goes out. one of the added accessories i been working on & testing is a top reflector to do just that when on a tripod or hanging high in a tree or over head.
Very cool to find another lantern collector here! We are all lumen junkies, so anything that produces light is fair game. I prefer the early lanterns with the white porcelain treatment under the shade. The white color really does reflect more light and the differences are visually apparent. Its also fun experimenting with different thorium treated mantles and fuel mixtures, especially with the kerosene varieties. I have around 200 lanterns and still growing.
Im looking forward to your LT1 accessory kit. The plastic bowl you demoād will be replicated if all else fails. lol
A little something to heat my house. Dont worry, my insurance company says my house is insured if one blows up!
Itās nice to hear so much enthusiasm from white gas powered lantern owners for the LT1. While I see many advantages for the battery powered version, I imagine the LT1 wonāt come close in terms of maximum output capability compared to a gas powered lantern. In my use I donāt see that as a problem, but I would be very interested to see a comparison of the LT1 to a gas lantern in a picture like the ones posted above.
EDIT: sorry for my blasphemous comment regarding white gas, I did not realize these are kerosene lanterns . . . 
Would still be interested to see the comparison though.
