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

Dang. How do I get one of these please? Been away for a bit. Hope I never missed it

I see a few in stock on Amazon.

I’m Interested in buying one

I went to buy on Amazon other day, I could not find it. I ended up buying on Ali Express, from sofirn store. It may have cost a couple dollars more, but it was in stock

Try direct from Sofirn. https://sofirnlight.com/

Just checked. Black is Out of stock.
A few prototypes of LT1in stock.

Maybe back after Chinese New Year.

I ordered one of the green prototype LT1 lanterns a couple of weeks ago. At that time, the site said there were only 2 of each color left. I did get an active tracking number so I believe my lantern is on its way, but the site still shows 2 of each color left.
Just a warning for anyone on the fence about ordering a prototype color- don’t trust the quantity shown on the site.

for those who are really curious - here are some GIFs from my forthcoming review.

i plan to release it in next 2 days.

Someone posted a shade on thingiverse for the LT1. I modified it a bit because I wanted to print it in a flexible for packability and durability. "https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4124488":https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4124488 !http://imgur.com/gallery/Vbn9d1G!

Nicely done :+1:

FYI your link is broken, at least for me.

hm, strange

anyway, i posted full review yesterday

Jan,28,2020,
-added a separate Reviews/links topic thread for all LT1 Lantern reviews and tests. >> Here: ** Sofirn BLF LT1 Lantern Review links 2020 **

Its also on the main topic OP of this thread.

Here’s what your link looks like

I ordered from Amazon on November 26 and received my lantern on December 28. My tracking number was not updated at all after shipment until about 2 days before delivery when the package when through customs in Chicago and full details were available afterward.

I would contact Sofirn as something seems wrong with your order. I ordered after you and have had my lantern for a month :frowning: .

Some more feedback of how it fares as a nightlamp…another potential for small improvement of future designs.
The top gathers a lot of dust. Which is not a problem by itself. But it’s hard to clean due to all that concave cutout with narrow corners.

That is the best Shade idea so far :slight_smile:

here is my review.

will add video version soon

Just wanted to say thank you to DBSAR, Sofirn, and others who helped make this lantern possible. It was imminently useful during a recent power outage, is an excellent bedside lamp, and I can’t wait to take it camping.

Bravo! :+1:

Still Haven’t Received My Light!

I think I have waited long enough to see if my light might show up. The estimated delivery date was 3 thru 30 January and it is a no show.

Just sent Sofirn this PM asking them to check my order:

“BLF LT1 Lantern with batteries was purchased on 26 November and shipped by tracking number LW237753463CN on 29 November My BLF LT1.

As of today 30 January I have not received the lantern with batteries. Please check this order and insure I receive my light.

Purchase info:” (not posted here)

Sure hope I receive a positive response soon.

I’m in the exact same boat with ordering an LT1 w/batteries.

Just wait until CNY is over and the reps at Sofirn are back in the office to reply to any inquiries, guaranteed they’ll get in contact to resolve the issue.
