Fantastic work to all involved, you are all amazing.
Please put me down for 2 more, for a total of 5.
^That^
I'd be perfectly happy with clear ano for that purpose. Hard to miss shiny silver.

Please add one more for me. That makes total of 3.
Thank you!
PG&E Threatening another multi-day power outage starting Wednesday. 
I’m not entirely sure. At minimum, it should have newer firmware, a newer manual, and some sort of additional scratch resistance, I think… but it sounds like there may be other details too. I don’t have all the info about it.
Sounds great. Thanks for the hard work and making upgrades as they come up.
Is the scratch resistance like hard anodizing vs powder coat etc.?
Same here, the shiny green I will pass on and go for black. For a good matte option (Desert tan/OD green/DigiCamo) I am happy to pay extra.
Just for jollies; here is a link to pages of ceracoat.
All kinds of colors. Some or all can be done at home.
Some of the ceracoat information says a lifetime of a year. This material is commonly used for firearms. A year lifetime would not seem interesting to a firearm owner.
There is a chart in the upper right corner that implies longer life.
25 slots left on the interest. After we hit 3,000 I will not be adding anyone else to the interest list.
Please make it 24 slots left then. 
I received an e-mail today letting me know that I had a new private message at BLF from “Bean spiller”. Not having had any contact with anybody named “Bean spiller” previously, that I could remember, I followed the link and it took me to a page where all of my old read messages were displayed on a single page, but nothing new. I went back to the messages listing page, and nothing new. I am a bit disappointed. I was hoping that I had received a code to purchase an LT1 or four. Does anybody know who “Bean spiller” may be? Or what this may have been about?
Bean spiller is/was a disruptive member whom I believe has been deleted and all PM’s associated with the ID have been deleted too. Sorry, but the PM had nothing to do with the availablity of your LT1
!!!READ READ READ!!!
We are now at 2,976 on the interest list. It behooves everyone to check that their name and count(s) are correct on the 2 interest list files linked to in post #1. The files are this and this.
Once the interest list is closed I will not be ADDING TO OR CORRECTING COUNTS on the list.
The files contain the data in my database as of 10/21 6:20pm.
While we are on the topic of colors, I wanted to repost a burnt orange that MNLegoBoy did some nice Photoshop work on. Best color I’ve seen for the LT1 yet!
Do we get a PM once they hit our names?
Please put me down for one more lantern, bringing my total to 3. Thanks.
I appreciate all the hard work the BLF LT1 team put into this. It’s great to see a volunteer effort come to fruition.
Probably so but the details for how batch 2 notifications are going to be made are still up in the air.
Hi Sig, please put me down for one more. Total of 2. Thanks!
So my lantern shipped from China on Oct 17 (by plane no less) and arrived in the US the next day. I got a notification from UPS today that a package was on its way from Win.It America, which I guess is a ebay logistics company for overseas packages. The scheduled delivery is Wednesday Oct 22.
It may be that when I return from my business trip on Thursday, I will get to check out the LT1! 
Nice! Something to look forward too when you’re away on business 
Let sure to give us a detail review of your lantern!
