Someone posted a shade on thingiverde 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

Nicely done :+1:

Have anyone who ordered off of Amazon near the end of November received their lantern yet?

Order was placed on Nov 25th, shipped a couple days afterwards, and I received a tracking number that hasn’t updated since it was shipped.

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 .

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

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!

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.

Just an FYI if you still have not ordered one, Amazon has them in-stock and they will get to you in 2 days if you have Prime.

Please share what you get, as I think mine and yours are on the same shipment based off of your tracking info you posted a bit ago

Of course I will

Prototype green. Ordered from Sofirnlight.com Jan 12. Received Jan 30. The black one I ordered from Amazon took over 6 weeks.

[JoeH12.81]

@ Texas Toasted, based on your Avatar, the Hulk Green is appropriate. I like it!!

[Coscar]

If thats the green that Sofrin has planned, I’ll pass…………. Maybe they didnt consider the poll…… Jmo.

[Agro]

Nice!

[TexasToasted]

@Coscar

I haven’t seen anything official from Sofirn, but from what I’ve pieced together from various posts, this green was an anodize prototype that they rejected. I got the impression that IF they ever produce a mass market color, it won’t be this one.
