Same thing for me, i replied to the PM from sofirn to get a code for the lantern + batteries and got no answer yet.
Guess i need to have a few more days of patience.
I just hope i´ll get a new code before the one for “LT1 only” expires and me being stuck without any of the lanterns 
I got the same message. I replied back and asked for the code for with batteries and got it the next day. China is on opposite time from us. Minimum 24 hour turn around on replies.
Agreed. 62 seems like a great deal for LT1 and batteries. I am excited.
If anyone is going to be doing that service you need to throw at least 10. I think that worst case scenario they are like 10c each so its a buck
Those suckers have talent to disappear. Can’t tell you how times I peeled one from the reel grabbed it with the tweezer and poing, off into the rhubarb, never to be seen again. Not to say that they can break apart or the solder pads get rip off if you heat them up.
A question, is batch #2 available for those who listed more than 1 lantern in the group buy list?
Let’s say, I listed 4 lanterns in the group-buy list.
Already got 1 lantern from batch 1.
Can I order another 1 lantern from batch 2 (limit 1 again?),
or perhaps order the remaining 3 lanterns from batch 2?
I would think Sofirn should go all the way through the list, allocating a single LT1 until everyone has been offered a buy-in. Then go through the list again and fill all the others. Just my idea… carries no weight with Sofirn. And FWIW I have expressed interest for a total of three; already have one and waiting to see how this shakes out. I would think there will be a few more production runs before the list is completed.
I will talk to Barry & Sofirn to inquire on how they are planning on handing that to get an answer to those questions.
Sofirn will make sure every single person get code for one unit. Then go back to rescan the list and send new codes for those who want more than 1 lantern.
Thank you. Please check you inbox.
Thanks for the info.

THNAK YOU!
THANK YOU!
Thanks for the update and information on how its working :+1:
Not dismissing his work, but holy mother of god, all that for a cable? But it’s cool, go for it. It’s a fantastic lantern,waited almost 4 yrs for it. Already used for 4 days at deer hunting camp, and it works and charges flawlessly.
I responded with a request for code with batteries the second I got my original code. I didn’t receive a response and by the time I tried to use the original code it had expired. I think there are probably many of us in the same boat that haven’t been able to order off the initial batch.
I just checked PM’s today and got a message from Sofirn with a code. Responded and asked for a code for the LT1 and batteries. They responded in a couple hours and I got the light ordered.
Your logic is flawed.
It’s not about the cable. It’s about recognizing that ‘proper’ USB-C power bricks and cables are becoming more and more common and having to keep an older style cable and charger on hand will slowly become more and more annoying. Is the mod annoying? Definitely. Is it worth the effort for some of us? Defintely.
I’m glad to read the rest of your post though. Hearing unbiased reports of how well the lantern works just makes me want my order numbers to come up faster. :+1:
I received my code 
but I want the green one, so I wait? 
Have any colors been confirmed for production yet?
Colors are not confirmed. With that said, some of the discussed colors are almost certain to appear as Sofirn has expressed interest, but it might not happen for a number of months depending upon how well Sofirn can manufacture LT1’s and how many they continue to sell after the group buy is fulfilled. Right now I’m sure that they are focused on producing black LT1’s in relatively large batches in order to satisfy the existing demand (i.e. us).
I’d accept the black lantern if you want one right now, but you are of course free to wait until colors appear sometime next year (if they appear) as I’m sure that there will be tons of sales and coupons for the LT1 over the next year or more.
The above are my impressions and opinions from following this thread, so take them with a grain of salt. Any or all of it could be wrong.
I’m on list for 3 pcs, I recived code for one pcs, whats next?
I suppose it supports a candle flicker mode?
How’s thermal regulation?
Which standard of programming pads does it use?
