Choose your BLF LT1 Color Preference!

Do we know which color(s) are more durable/harder? I’m good with black, flat dark earth (voted for), or olive drab. Also, are they all anodized or are some painted/coated? Either way, I’m excited to get the LT1 once “batch 2” becomes available. :slight_smile:

7503 Flat Dark Earth with no doubt.

Voted for sand/gold.

I also like the flat dark earth and the blue color, if it is similar to the SP10S blue. The 356 green is not bad either.

I am waiting for the colored batches as a black lantern doesn’t look special.

For me i would want something as easy to find in the dark.
The human eye is most sensitive in the dark to light around 507nM wavelength. I’m not familiar enough with Pantone colours to know how to convert nM to pantone.

Reference to peak sensitivity

1. Olive :+1:
2. Orange :+1:
3. Blue :+1:
4. Flat dark earth :+1:

Voted for Flat Dark Earth.

Surprised no ano / clear isn’t on the list. It’s all the rage these days. Or so I hear.

Only just noticed this thread, so here are my favourites:

All are very nice :slight_smile:

If the orange was a true blaze Orange, that would be my no-brainer pick. The color shown seems a little muted or rusty colored compared to a hunters vest for example.

But Orange, Coleman Green, and Blue are my choices.

I don’t think the colours in the renderings are very precise. If you look up ‘Pantone 21’, you’ll see a number of different colours, from the more yellowish one in the image to a more deep and reddish colour. The Pantone website itself shows a darker and more rich hue, but without a calibrated monitor it’s going to be difficult to tell exactly what it’s going to look like in real life.

The RGB value is #FE5000.

I love the olive green and Flat Dark Earth, but the “normal” colors are looking great too.

Since we’re doing ordered lists:

  • Olive Green (my vote in the poll)
  • Flat Dark Earth
  • Sand
  • Coleman Green

I don’t care about the other colors, but they look nice too.

Coleman Green
Flat Dark Earth
Blaze Orange

My picks:

  1. 356 (Forest/Coleman) Green - VOTED
  2. 574 Olive Drab Green ( Military/army green)
  3. 021 Blaze Orange
  4. 7503 Flat Dark Earth (military)

They all look good, even the Boring Black if you sand it or bake it.

All looks nice, but liked Flat Dark Earth the most.

Clear ano would be my first choice. Hard to miss silver in almost any outdoor/camping environment, even at night searching for a dropped/lost LT1 in fallen leaves using a cold white light. Otherwise, it's a tossup between red and orange. I voted for red just 'cause my wife's daily rider motorcycle is red.
