Here are the latest additions to the interest list and the links in post #1 have been updated. Weāre currently at 2,956 and unless Sofirn says otherwise I will not be adding to the interest list after we hit 3,000. That means there are only 44 slots left.
Add me for another 2 or 3 of these lanterns SigShooter, only if open spots are available, but at the end of the list to make sure any new BLF members get in first before i add more.) i been showing the prototype LT1 friends & family, and they are all wanting one of these.
Cool. Thatās how Iām planning to use it most of the time; basically as a lamp in my bedroom . Iāve been using an old headlamp for this purpose for almost 2 decades and am looking forward to a new solution. Unlike many of our hot-rodded flashlights, the LT1 runs the emitters low enough even at high outputs that they should last many years without degradation.
Batch #1 consists of about 500 pcs, batch #2 about 2.500 pcs. That's why there is the limit of 3.000 pcs. I guess they can't produce more than 2.500 pcs at a time without having negative impact on their production planning for all the other models. Please keep in mind that Sofirn has a wide range of products and is also OEM manufacturer for third party brands. So, I'm sure they are willing to sell more than 3.000 pcs but it will take some time before they can launch a third batch in their factory.
As with the other groupbuys blf has done, the price that is agreed on with the manufacturer is relatively low. The manufacturer doesnāt make a lot (if any) money on the first saleās. So they put a limit on the amount that will be sold with the low price.
After all they want to make money so after the groupbuy they will raise the price to a more realistic and fair price for the manufacturer.
I have been trying to get the order placed everyone said place the order and choose other for payment method I am not having any luck it wont let me place the order until I pay somehow. Someone (simon) says āplace the order but do not pay I will adjust the priceā I can not place the order with out paying! am I stupid? am I missing some way of placing the order using other payment. I have always thout I could do things however this is difficult. other gbās have been painless.

I donāt know if this is the problem, but sales through certain outlets have been halted until bugs in the system get plugged. Back a page or 3 someone proudly (IMO) posted about how they were able to steal someones light by just using the stolen name from the list and paying for it. That āgentā is no longer here and all references to him have been wiped and flushed.
