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

and…

WE HAVE REACHED 10000 POSTS! :smiley:

Congrats!

I was hoping I could post the 10,000th post, but I can't get them all.

Ha, well I got 10,002, so there. It’s easy to win when your goal is arbitrary :stuck_out_tongue: .

I’m aware that Coleman used many greens over the decades and my own definition was likely formed in the 80’s as I was around a number of Colemans then (and still have one in great condition), but for me “Coleman Green” means something like the lantern at top-right.

I’d like to put a proper bail handle on the LT1 when I get it. I realize that it’s not needed to avoid burns as is the case with gas lanterns, but I expect my hand to fit into the handle and that “innie” bail on the LT1, though nice for many reasons, including packaging, is not what I want.

Lucky you! :partying_face:

My first lantern was shipped a week ago, and I just ordered a second one for a friend.

My folding silicone bowls arrived today. I got one white and one yellow from this eBay listing. Shipping was 30 days to the US.

I’m excited to convert them into LT1 shades when my lantern arrives!

But you have the 10000st answer

Yes :smiley:

You can find lantern without batteries now

First code, ordered. Currently shipping.

Second code, ordered. No movement yet.

Read: You can order all this time with one code. Don’t need to wait. Wait, we can order all our remaining lights once we receive the second code? Is that what that comment means? Yes Big Smile Tried second code again to order the remainder of the lights I expressed interest in, doesn’t work.

I think Sofirn means that you can order say, 3 lanterns using that code in one order. But I would guess it is still a single use code, if that makes sense.

You may have to PM Sofirn for a new code if that one has stopped working, I have found them very quick to reply (taking into account the timezone difference).

OMG!! I see the lantern in green and gold here!! :smiley:

Are y’all going to be adding any other colors? Is it just green and gold or should I wait?

I received a code… But an not going to use it… Should I pm sofirn back, or just let it go?

Beat me to it…I was asleep :rage:

Those are prototypes with color test bodies. They are not the production colors we are all waiting for. At that price, I’m waiting for real production units at the GB price.

Got the LT1 just now.

Default 5x7135 configuration resulted in:
355 lm at WW
463 lm at CW

Tint and CRI measured directly in front of the LT1, but the results aren’t meaningfully different integrated, which means the diffuser is doing its job

Cool white

Warm white

3 modes in the middle

Den should add a link to that excellent data in the first post. Thanks for the measurements maukka!

But you never know - in years to come those prototypes might fetch a fortune on the collectors market!

Great testing on the tints & CRI maukka :+1: :+1: I will add a link to this post number on the main OP.
