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

Yeah, we wouldn’t want anyone to find out which long time member helped his friend Alex (along with others and probably himself) game the GB by taking the spots of others.

I’d like to be put down for one more (for a total of two). Thank you.

Please send me the username via PM. Thanks!

I had a notification of a PM a while back, and it disappeared before I checked it (within 30 minutes). Probably the “low life” as mentioned by mtndon…

Thanks to sb for keeping the forum clean!

I like FDE, gunmetal grey, OD green, black, and clear.

The neon green and orange colors would be awesome too. As has been said previously, maybe those are better candidates for cerakote or powder coat finishes rather than anodized?

Interest list count is at 2,949 as of 10/20 1:00pm so 51 slots left before reaching 3,000.

+1 a la lista

Since I’m new to multi-battery lights, a little advice would be appreciated. Should I be avoiding unprotected cells for the LT1? Or will they be safe to use?

I hope people will get the first-batch lanterns soon. The prototype I have is really nice, and it seems batch 1 is an upgrade compared to the prototypes.

After that, it seems it might be a slow process getting batch 2 made and shipped… but it sounds like batch 2 is an upgrade too. I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

With the prototype though, I’ve been using it almost every night for months. It works well, and hardly ever needs to be charged. In particular, I use its sunset mode a lot… so I can see while getting settled in bed, and then don’t have to move to turn a light off. It just takes care of itself.

TK, that’s how I mostly use the Q8 with diffuser. I turn it on minimum intensity when it gets dark and it stays on until I get up in the morning (in case of a power outage and I need to get up to turn on the alt’ source). The LT1 will take the Q8s place and the Q8 will be used more as a flashlight. Yeah, I know there’s nothing keeping me from using it as a flashlight now, I just don’t.

Same here :+1: I have the prototype on the night table, and been running it every night testing its run times in different modes, and it has replaced my old corded night table lamp for the ability be easily found in the dark, and moved around the house when the power goes out, (which happens a lot in my area)

Hi,
Please put me on the list for +1 lantern. So the total for me will become 2.
Thanks!

I would like to add 1 = total of 2 . Thanks

Unprotected should be fine as long as they’re button tops or the positive end sticks up enough above the battery to make contact with the LT ring. You can tell by laying the positive end of the battery on a flat surface and then seeing if it rocks when you move it.

Thank you.

I would like to be put on list for 1 more, for a total of 3, thank you

I would LOVE to see it in digital camo or realtree camo.

However, if the tint is right OD green would be nice too.
Really, not enough camo lights besides some ugly chinese patterns. Not sure if camo prints are even anodised or just painted.

Can’t wait for it to arrive, black is nice too! Thanks team!

I am interesting in one.

Add me to the list for a second one, if possible.

Please add me to the list for one.

:+1: good tip idea for testing cells for contact.
