USB-C is a physical spec. It is effectively defined by the connector and the fact that the hardware (connector and cable) can support at least 3A of current at minimum. PD is just ones and zeros flying about.
You can have USB-C chargers that are not PD. And it gets more confusing from there.
USB-C power meter need some power to run itself to it so it terminates the cable properly to get 5V. Same thing as USB A to C.
On USB-C there are no 5V on the VBUS until there is a pull down on the CC lines.
For me it is mostly a convenience thing. My tech replacement schedule worked out in such a way vast majority of things are USB C now. Phone, headphones, entertainment. So now if I go anywhere all I need is one charger and one cable to rule them all. Including the LT1
So actually, at least for me, finding USB-C chargers and C-to-C cables are easier to find as compared to A to C cables.
Now everyone on the list up to #1372 will be able to order 1 Lantern and after everyone on the list has had a chance to order 1 Lantern Sofirn will go back over the list and send codes to anyone wanting more than 1 Lantern.
Of course Sofirn will have to let us know if we will be able to order all the Lanterns we have on the list or just 1 at a time.
Great job by Sofirn on building a Lantern that the GREAT Team at BLF after much time and effort had Designed.
I was #62 on the list but have #377, #1047, #1048 and #2541 on the Wait List.
Hope to see some colors before the end of the Sale.
