Quick Question, I tried searching but didn’t find exactly what I was looking to find. Can you use Samsung 35E NON button top? Do I have to use a button top cell? I’m not trying to add magnets or solder, etc.
It has to be a button top, or a flat top with positive terminal above the wrapping
So a VTC6 would work? I can’t think of anything else that is protruding. Maybe a Sanyo 3500?
I have no clue, I remember there were one or two dollar told that would work, as they have the terminal slightly above the wrapping
Sanyo NCR18650GA’s work. Do not know what other flat top might fit. But do not let a muggle insert a battery upside down, the LT1 Does not have reverse polarity protection.
i need this light
Yes, yes you do
So I know I’m late to the party but are there any deals still available for this light?
Sofirn told me it will be back in stock at the end of April.
I’m finally getting mine today, almost 100 days later
Just ordered it from AliExpress for pretty much the exact same price as the GroupBuy. Thanks!
Glad you got one, hopefully your doesn’t get lost
Is there any information on a version that has a proper USB C interface?
Or (even better) an advanced version that includes the full USB C plus additional goodies/accessories.
I have waited for years for the product (was around #150). Still looking for a version without issues. I want three identical devices.
If I remember somebody modded theirs to a proper USB c port, by adding 5.1k resistors to certain pins. There is a deluxe version planned with a full size USB port out
That is great news!
I thought mine was the last hold out.
What are the issues? Is it because you can’t USB c to c? Is that even an issue?
Not trying to come off rude I’m genuinely curious.
A lot of people prefer c-c as it is the mainstream way of connecting usb c devices, such as phones
I enjoy candle mode, especially with the ‘orange silicone dog bowl’ shade(thanx for the link goshdogit) I did a runtime test in low candle mode starting with 30Qs@ 4.2v. After 21days - 24/7(total of 504 hours) the onboard voltage reported 3.4v.
I was amazed the LT1 only used .8 of a volt in 21days……… it took 4.5 hours to recharge back to 4.2……
Yes, I would really really like to have some of these lamps. Years have past since I first accepted these lamps. Multiple instances of lighting problems have passed into oblivion.
Yes, I could solder parts. But I will not. I will not accept multiple versions of a product lacking real detail from the vendor or attempts to solder. I used to do that sort of thing. I am old and I will not screw around with this lamp. If, as currently delivered, I just will not buy one until after all the screwing around. That is not what I wanted decrepit om the developers. Years have passed. I can (and have) respected the massive private work making these lanterns. And I have accepted the process. I have done this sort of development at levels way beyond the scope of this project. I got it.
It must work without a soldering iron.
Releases of manufacturing versions must be clearly defined with clear release version features.
