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

I dont think my statement was argumentative or unclear ā€¦. as I said ā€œI prefer the #574 Olive Drab Green ā€¦ā€¦ its closer to the color of my ā€˜Colemansā€™ā€
that isā€¦ā€¦ if you are going to use the colors you used in the pollā€¦ā€¦ but if it makes you feel any better all of my Colemans are the same color.
I have several but Im not a ā€˜Collectorā€™ :beer:
The only way I would have that many colemanā€™s is if I found a box of em somewhere
Hopefully when I get the LT1s (whatever color) I wont even need my Colemans anymoreā€¦
Im tired of toting fuel and changing mantles,
Although it would be nice to look up and see an Dark Green LT1 and be able to remember all the good times Ive had with the Colemans.

Iā€™m planning on a strip-down and repaint when my first LT1 arrives. You have me thinking that a photo documented ā€˜how toā€™ might be worth the effort.

Hmmmā€¦ I wonder what flavors of Green I can get Krylon in.

I seen a camo anodized flashlight somewhereā€¦ but canā€™t remember where. That would be the most difficult color pattern iā€™m guessing. If only Real-tree Camo was possibleā€¦ :smiley:

Where the hell did my lantern go? I hung it right there in that tree!!

Wait, we can order all our remaining lights once we receive the second code? Is that what that comment means?

Same here

Barring Babel-speak, sure sounds like you can.

Yes that is correct. There doesnā€™t seem to be a limit to one this time. I ordered my remaining reservations.

Hydro dip! Any camo you want! Iā€™m going to look into the costs, it would look awesome.

Well I got my 2nd code a few days ago and ordered my 2nd of 5 lanterns.
I just tried it for a 3rd and it did not work

You have caught my interest on that :smiley: What is hydro dip?

Its showing ā€˜currently unavailableā€™ (no batteries)@ Amazon.com ā€¦ā€¦ U.S.

Hydro dip is a process in which the paint pattern is floated on the surface and the product is dipped. The paint pattern adheres when the product is removed. Thatā€™s it in a rough nutshell.

I have some hydro dip kits here if anyone is interested. I have several different patterns, colorsā€¦

I will make a list of what I have and post in a bit. All new high quality kits and half price. I need them out of my garage.

Itā€™s actually a film, not a paint, although there is a base paint. The film is inked IIRC. Any 3D object can be done as long as you can immerse it in water.

wow that is intriguing! :+1:

Just curious, who have used their first bought LT1 lantern now in a power outage, on camping, or any emergency needing a long-running, great tint, high CRI, 360-degree light source where no electricity is available?

I am using the last bought (from the first batch) tonight, as our power went out for a couple hours.
