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.
Fact: it works fine without soldering anything. nobody is forcing you to use any tool to change anything. The only reason it was designed for the soldering bridges is for capable modders to modify it easier if they wanted more output at sacrificing run time, same goes for those wanting a fast charge only “modification” sure, we could have built this lantern with 3000 lumens, but a lantern that steps down and drains the cells in minutes is useless in retrospect for a lighting unit needed to be run at a constant level for hours & hours at a time. Same goes for the charging. we could have set that up to charge at 3 amps to satisfy the very few who want charging done in a couple hours. (but now if they decide to only have one low capacity or old battery in it, and shove 2 or 3 amps charging into it… (i do not need to explain that risk.) Also if you don’t like the LT1, then do NOT buy one. it’s simple. Maybe some day a perfect-to-you lantern will be built for you, in the the mean time, just not buy this lantern if its not up to “your” standards or liking.
Without rambling again.
I just want two things. Full C implementation and identical device versions to pass around when needed. I have not purchased yet because the original distribution process caused purchases to span release versions.
I will wait for those criteria. That is all I want. It is my choice and in no way am I complaining about the team that designed this lantern.
New attachments or other improvements will be nice; and I will probably buy some of those at the same time.
I believe full USB-C implementation was discussed for a possible future version but not promised. You may be waiting indefinitely.
