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

Where is this lower price available? I’ve been trying to get a code…

From here Sofirn Aliexpress Store added some stock in US, Poland and Russian

I got the price to $46.62 or so with UPJCQO3F38YX plus all the other coupons on Aliexpress. Looks like some people got that price with batteries, not sure if they are using a group buy code too.

It happens all the time. I have pre order stuff with discounts and then on black friday it becomes cheaper. You are not guaranteed the cheapest price just because you pre order. You did not fund the project, your name is just in a list of people who would like to purchase it.

It was me. I got it for $49 with batteries. I used the promo code sofirn provided in ther 11.11 tread and also my aliexpress coupons. If you combine those and the paypal coupon you get that price.

I get that, but you would think before selling for a lower price to the general public, they would have given codes to everyone in the group buy at least. That and the previous issues with the “codes”, seems poorly run.

I’ll just go buy it now for cheaper, no skin off my back.

$49 with batteries, I hope the deal is still valid by the time I get home.

From going through the checkout process, without actually buying it, the code only brings the LT without batteries down to the group price. Other coupons based on amount purchased could bring the price down of course.

Those buying the LT1 from that site, don’t expect to get it any sooner. AE is selling you a light that is not even built yet or have in stock for open sale for public sale that we know of, (most likely if they do its from the 1st batch, because there is a delay in the 2nd batch due to LED supplier issue, (See post below)

Also an update from the manufacturer came in, the supplier for the Samsung LH351D has a delay in supplying all the LEDs needed, and due to that, there will be a delay in the 2nd batch to be released at the end of the month or later.

My heart can’t take much more! I’ll just wait.

Barry did write in an earlier post (many pages past) that the GB folks would get their lights first.

So should I wait then for group buy if I just see a cheaper price?

53$ with Batteries. Hoepfully it will be a later Batch2 Version. Or at least it will arive :smiley:

My lantern finally arrived.

Very nice, particular tuned all the way to warm. Getting used to Anduril lights now. The Sunset mode works great.

Also, I got a bonus. When I opened the box, a largish spider came out, all the way from China.

PS: hope I can get the second one I signed up for, eventually.

Yes, then you can have your own family of Chinese spiders. :partying_face:

How did ppl get it for $50? I ordered it with an SP10S and paid £51.48 ($66.15). I applied the new user discount any other coupons I could including the 11:11 code.

What’s the difference between the first and second batch?

There should be a more accurate manual, and some minor firmware differences… but with the way these things seem to go, there is no telling what differences you may find.

If that spider is female and carrying eggs, you may have introduced a new species to your country :nerd_face:

Thats probably how the Emerald Ash Borer came to the US and wiped out all the Ash Trees over the last few years.
