BLF Lantern Purchase/Followup Information - Group Buy list is Closed!!!!

There are 2 replacement port covers on the way to me. Thank you Barry and Zoe

Mine just arrived 30 minutes ago. Ordered 17 October after receiving Private Message with Group Buy Code from Sofirn. Man, I love this lantern! Thank you to DBSAR, Lexel, ToyKeeper and everyone who had a hand in the design,creation, programming and execution! The Anduril UI seems very intuitive after a couple of tries. I thought that the lantern would be bigger, I’m glad its not! Love it! I hope everyone that wants one gets one!

Best.

How did you go about this? I’ve lost my port cover and would like to get some switch covers as well. Just because :slight_smile:

Thanks

Y usb port cover broke off so I contected Barry/Sofirn and they seny replacement. Maybe enquire thru their store about buying parts?

Thanks for the reply, what store address? Bit of a newb on the subject. Any help appreciated. I bought it through eBay. I did send a message there.

I have a broken port cover too.

I’m pretty good at keeping care of things though so I’ll see how we go but this appears to be a QC issue for future batches.

Worse things happen at sea, I’m delighted with the LT1 in eGood work very way.

I’m waiting on my collapsible bowl being delivered (AliExpress), I think that will make a huge difference to the LT1s practicality.

:slight_smile:

Got a link for the bowls?

The store you used to buy it… Amazon, AE, eBay or PM Barry or Sofirn thru BLF.

i got the one i demonstrated in the video from Ebay:

I hope this USB flap breakage doesn’t happen with the one I’ve bought. It’s going to be a gift, and that would be embarrassing. :weary:

If the cover’s off and the lantern gets hot can’t condensation build up inside?

We have mentioned the issue about the USB-C cover flap, with some having them break or loose them, hopefully they can rectify the problem with them breaking.

When I charge my LT I pull the cover off a bit and then rotate it out of the way in order to plug in the connector rather than pulling it up and out of the way. I have no evidence to back it up but my feeling is that it places less stress on the the part that attaches to the LT.

Thanks for the help guys. I just sent a message to Barry/Sofirn as MtnDon had suggested and he got back very promptly to send out a couple of spares, fantastic service.

I have several of the first 500 reserved… yet still haven’t been able to order a single unit. Hopefully all of us who have followed this project from the beginning will have a chance to receive all the lanterns we’ve preordered.

Got my code today via PM but it said to message back if I needed a code that included batteries. I did just that and have not been sent my new code.

Time difference between “there” and VA ???

They are somewhere around 13 hours ahead of EST.

Expect that they’ll send you email while you’re sleeping and you’ll reply while they’re sleeping.

Same for me, which is why I didn’t make it onto the first order.

How long until they responded to you and provided a code that would also work for a lantern + batteries code?
