Does the second batch have any improvements over the first one? Should we order now if we want to buy from the second batch ?
is there a way to order from other than Amazon? Banggood or Aliexpress?
For other Anduril lights I would like to see a momentary turbo like on Narsil. Anduril momentary mode goes to where you last had the ramp set at. It would nice if could go to turbo as well. Hope you can add this to the code sometime.
my neighbor backed out…should i just PM back that I am not using the code?
I just received a PM form Sofirn with a one time code for Amazon. I’m at numbers 813, 814, 815, 816, 2558, 2559, 2560, 2561. Does this mean for one lamp or I have one time to order all the lamps I signed up for, or the first group of 4?
Even having read every post in this thread, I’m unsure and don’t want to jump the line, plus looking forward to possible color options. (Go red!)
It should only allow you to purchase one lantern.
True, but one would expect an aluminium flashlight to come out on top in a head to head against pine trim lol
Thanks, ordered one, est. delivery Dec 23, 2019 - Jan 21, 2020.
And just like that my hopes of giving these as Christmas gifts are long gone. I got a code for one since all my lanterns over #1000 on the list except for one.

what about a Happy Saint Patrick’s Day gift 
Christmas next year maybe?
Déjà Vu ?
i was able to order of amazon australia store using my code from the original PM,
Several folks have been receiving lanterns in 3 weeks or less. YMMV.
Sorry for the off-topic post… This isn’t really related to the lantern. It’s about other Anduril-based lights.
It can already do momentary mode at the maximum level… it just requires ramping up to that level first.
The tricky part is that, on most lights, the highest level isn’t in the ramp by default. And momentary can only go as high as the ramp does. But if this is not what the user wants, the ramp ceiling can be raised with just a few clicks. That’s how I usually configure really throwy flashlights. It’s handy having a momentary turbo on throwers, so I made sure it was possible to do that.
To raise the ceiling all the way:
- 1 click: Turn the light on.
- 4 clicks: Go to ramp config mode.
- 0 clicks: Wait for the second prompt.
- 1 click: Set the ceiling to maximum.
- 0 clicks: Wait another few seconds to exit config mode.
This only needs to be done one time, and then momentary mode can use the turbo level.
Turbo is also available in sort of a momentary fashion by doing a double click while on.
About the lantern though, it already has its ceiling levels set as high as they can go, by default. So this isn’t an issue on the lantern unless the user manually lowers the ceiling level(s).
That may be, but unless they suddenly push codes for all the slots up to 3000 I’m not going to be able to order all of them in the next few days.
I have little reason to order a stack of lanterns to sit on them for almost a year until next Christmas when future production runs will likely fix the USB-C charging issues and other minor problems. We’ve already seen they can be bought for the group buy price (or better) outside of the group buy, so I will likely forgo all my extra group buy slots unless something changes and revisit buying LT1’s as gifts in the fall of 2020.
But usually market conditions and demand will determine a selling price.
I hope I am wrong, but IMHO, with the quality and exclusive nature of our BLF LT1 lantern, I am afraid the selling price after our codes are used up will settle down into a higher $75-$100 range.
- Seems like no matter how much we try to do, there will be the same few who will repetitively complain, whine and have mostly negative replies to projects created by “volunteers” on BLF, out of our free time. I sen this not only here in the LT1 project thread, but other BLF projects too in the past. Added it seems the ones doing the whining are those who never contribute anything positive, but all they do is take low-blow jabs at the projects, project teams, and manufacturers. It does get discouraging for those who take to time & effort to try to design something for others in the community and abroad, but we always seem to have to endure the negative “jabs” and slaps-in-the-face from the complainers and whiners who will never be satisfied at no matter what others try to do to help. 
Waiting patiently for my code…
DBSAR has a point…
I follow this forum frequently and always snoop around for great buys or fascinating projects.
I really enjoy learning about LED’s, drivers and user interfaces/flashing.
To me the miracle of this hobby isn’t that I get another light that I will use like my life depended on it or is much different (in utility) from the $4 store lights…it’s dark, I need to see in the dark, I grab a flashlight and turn it on so I can see, I turn it off and set it aside until the next time I need to look in the closet or walk around at night…pretty simple utility.
I am overjoyed at the enthusiasm over builds, tints, reflectors, batteries, user interfaces and flashing Anduril on to a chip with a smartphone…how cool is that??
The appeal for me is how much such a simple device can be modded, tweaked and programmed to way more than a $4 store light—its not their “product” (absence of darkness) I enjoy so much but their “production”.
I’m a computer geek and I find all that borax to be a fun science lesson.
All the people on here that conceive, build, tweak and program are a knowledgeable bunch and always give me more than just a flashlight.
I understand it is a labor of love for them and I hold them to no timetable or even completion of project.
That this bunch of volunteers can make an idea eventually turn in to something I can buy from Amazon (when ready) and have in my hand in two days is beyond industrious.
I guess they could have not bothered, and I would have been spared craving a light that never came in to existence in the first place.
Peace!
Thanks for all you’ve done DBSAR. (and BLF LT1 team.)
And for everyone else……
When in uncertain,
when in doubt,
run in circles,
scream and shout.
