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

$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.

Man I tried using AliExpress and its so confusing. Anyone else have problems? Or am I the only one? :person_facepalming:

Why can’t it be like amazon. . . Add to cart! Purchase!

It is always best to open packages from abroad with a can of hairspray and a Bic lighter close at hand.

Yep. There are many examples of that sort of disaster happening. The citrus industry in Florida is threatened with a wipeout because of some disease that they figure was brought here by someone illegally importing some orange tree cuttings. In the past, we also made the problem ourselves by importing a species of something that was supposed to be the cure for some other problem.

That captured my interest, so I had to do some googling …

Heck…I’d take the spider off.you if you were local
