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.
Thank you!
I enjoyed your choice of music for the video.
(I have that soundtrack and have watched the movie countless times)
Iāve been gone for a while and see Iām way, way late to the party. But, if Iām not too late, can you please put me down for 1?
Actually, the party is just about to begin. :partying_face: Get your credit card ready.

I seen that video somewhere!
My current collection of gas & oil lanterns is much bigger now, but here is an old photo from a number of years ago:
I did do just that some years ago with the original V1 prototype of the LT1, but will certainly do more comparison videos of the production LT1 to them as soon as they are in production and on the way :+1:
Here is the original V1 prototype, (the lantern on the right of the photo, when it was running 4-7135s on a Nanjg Q-Lite driver) and the Coleman 321 single-mantle gas lantern on the left of the photo, (with two modified LED lanterns in the middle)
I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get a chance to have a look onto the manual in the first place. I asked my contact at Sofirn who created the manual but she wouldn't know. It looks very well done as far as I can assess.
I send you a shared link via PM to download the editable docx-file. It would be fantastic if you were to check the content for any mistakes and let me know about it or maybe even do the corrections (if any) in the file.
I convinced Sofirn this morning to let you check the manual first and do the translation afterwards and not vice versa.
If you see any chance to place the nice logo into the file that'd be great. Otherwise I could also do it including some minor corrections with the layout where necessary.
Thank you Den!
It essentially looks like a copy/paste of the FW3x manual with some edits.
@Lux-Perpetua
I noticed a typo under Temp Ramp configuration (the only section I looked at, btw).
āWhile the lantern is on, clic, click, hold to changeā¦ā
Thank you guys. Any feedback is deeply appreciated. I will also wait for Den's feedback.
As far as I know the launch of the LT1 is imminent, so I try to get the translation done asap.
I wonder if the manual was created by some BLF or TLF member.
Also under Integrated Charger on the first section you have āPlease us a premium cableā instead of āPlease use a premium cableā
You know whatās fun about gas/kerosene lantern?
Flame sources have efficiencies of about 1 lumen/watt.
That means to output 800 lumens, you need around 800W of power, while the lantern could do this with about 8W of power, or even less.
