*BLF LT1 Lantern Project) (updated Nov,17,2020)

It has a step down, then turns off when with the LVP. (verify with Toykeeper though on the voltages & specifics that is set with the Andruil firmware.
it seems to be around 3 to 4 secs from ramp floor to max. The indication is a second blink when holding the button at the end of the manual tint ramp at each end of the ramp. I’m not sure what you are referring to clear the mode, but if the lantern is set for stepped or ramping, it stays in that mode even after locked out or batteries removed.

The manual says the LT1 has a momentary UI mode.

“UI: Momentary mode
This mode locks the LT1 into a single-mode interface where the LEDs are only on when the button is held down. It is intended for Morse code and other signaling tasks.
Brightness is the last-ramped level, so adjust that before entering momentary mode.
Momentary mode enable: 5 clicks from OFF to enter
Operation in Momentary mode is limited to holding the button to turn the LT1 on at the last brightness level before enabling Momentary mode.
Momentary mode disable: physically disconnect power”

It says to physically disconnect power to disable / clear the mode. I’m trying to figure out how long power has to be disconnected for it to clear. The light has some capacitance on the driver board and the standby current draw of the micro is pretty low. This means it could take many seconds if not minutes to discharge the caps enough to put the micro through a reset exiting the Momentary UI mode. If it’s more than a few seconds the instructions should recommend a different method (disconnect power and press the button). Since you have an LT1 I’m hoping you can shed some light on how long it takes.

That mode is the next mode above electronic lock-out mode (the 4-presses from off) but uses 5-presses/clicks.

In Anduril and as per Toykeeper’s UI chart electronic lockout is 4 clicks, momentary mode is 5 clicks.
Momentary moonlight until unlocked and momentary last brightness level until power disconnected are two different things.

You’re correct, (i missed that second hidden mode) which is pretty much the same as in the lock-out mode only a bit brighter. (though i noticed it seems to lock on that momentary mode, and needs to have the battery tum loosened to re-set it.

Okay, but that wasn’t the question. How do you leave that mode?

@Stereodude, easy peasy.

Just disconnect the tube quickly, and it’ll leave momentary.

The only way i know how to get out of that momentary mode is to remove the battery tube to reset it, (maybe Toykeeper can comment on the mode operation.

To be clear, it’s a quick removal of the battery that does the trick. You can wait as long as you like, but it’s pretty instant, in my experience with a range of different anduril flashed lights

indeed, it only takes a second to reset the 5-click momentary mode. (loosen the battery tube, the lantern blinks then tighten, its reset.

Back after several monthes away (multi factor story, not related to BLF) and i am happy to be on time for THE lantern :)

I have a lot to catch back and will do asap but i'd be very grateful if someone could tell me when the party will start (days, weeks or .. ?) and if there is an estimated date for the accessory pack as i did not find it neither on the first page nor in the few last ones !

Glad to see you again folks :)

I will have a video of the planned accessory pack soon, as for the LT1 lantern it should be going into production now and getting prepared fro the first order lot.

Finally, we have comments on the amount of time needed for the voltage on the input of the micro to drop enough to cause it to go through a reset and clear the mode.

That wasn’t so hard was it? :stuck_out_tongue:

Another 40 or 50 of those, and the collection might begin to border on the excessive… :confounded:

This light was meant to be cheaper than the Q8. I don’t think it is budget anymore.

It was never meant to be cheaper than the Q8.

For an 8x LH351D lantern with a injection molded high quality shade cover, included cable, a much more advanced driver, 49$US is quite the good price for such a high quality lantern.

I prefer paying for quality once without no problems, rather than having to deal with issues that’ll cost me more in the long run.

I bought some Blitzwolf cables a while back when this thread was talking about quality cables for the LT1. Does anyone have any suggestions on wall chargers for the LT1? I would have bought what Blitzwolf makes but they only sell them with an EU plug (I’m US).

Anker makes good stuff and sells on Amazon.

I’ve tried to keep up with this thread but may have missed details concerning colors after seeing some talk of offering them.
An orange or yellow would be fantastic as I don’t mind being able to find things a little easier when it’s dark.
Will different colors be offered after the initial run of black or is this a back-burner issue?
The seemingly imminent release of the LT1 has bolstered my restraint from buying other lights, need to have the cash to pounce when it’s ready!

First run will be black, and maybe a green and sand. V2 might have a red, blue, and orange options
