This wait is going to kill me! Anyone have further info on batch 2? I know there’ll be more colors, but what exactly is going to change in the firmware? Also, did I hear correctly that it will be more scratch resistant? I know my C01 scratched like crazy. Hopefully this will be a good Christmas present to myself
The scratching issue was in manufacturing and related to the diffuser. The changes there are to protect it during assembly. The part is likely unchanged.
Firmware - It had something to do with the default “medium” point in one of the ramping modes after a battery removal. (as best I can recall - search for Toykeeper posts - she explains in perfect detail somewhere) If you’re really concerned, the lantern firmware is updatable.
The only other item I can confirm is that there will be an AmishBill Special Edition with a layered dayglo finish. Availability will be limited though, as I only intend to make one and will be keeping it for myself. :partying_face:
Other than the last few weeks it didn’t take all that much time to be honest. But now I can spend more time looking for additional flashlights to buy :money_mouth_face:
So I’ve been traveling overseas and just got back and received my message and code from 10/15. Is the group buy over already? I’ve been waiting forever for this thing and can’t find it on amazon.
Sofirn has said that everyone on the list will get the lantern at the group price. Once production ramps up and the ordering process finalized then people will be able to buy again.
Ok, here is the video explaining the accessories i been testing & using with the LT1 test lantern, (and original 2 prototypes)
The accessories i show in the video are listed below.
-Top hat reflector shade (for directing light down for overhead hanging, reading at a table, etc in the same manner as Coleman Lanterns shades do.
-Side directional shade ( for directing & increasing light in one direction to the side, (for creating a wider directional flood.
-paracord lanyard (for easier carrying, hanging from lines, branches, over head loops, tent loops, etc.
-charging cable (6 foot USB-C ( a heavy-duty longer charging & power cord for more remote charging & powering.

I need to practice to record better videos, so bear with me in the video, also turn your volume up a bit, as my phone camera mic is not the best, and need to invest in a better video camera setup for these videos, and slow my talking down a bit.
