Yes. But I still can not understand what the various versions are.

Can you not list the the actual information?

The answer continues to be information free.

New version: Has two resistors added to the driver, to improve compatibility with some USB-C chargers.

Old version: Doesn’t have the two extra resistors.

That’s it. That’s all there is to know.

Although my first batch LT1 is still traveling the world: Can we get a separate USB-C to USB-C charging board to replace the original one?

Is the $49.99 price as standard now or is it going to go up?

We will consider it when LT1 restock.

Thanks :+1:
Any idea if & when a version 2 will be in the pipeline?

If you don’t mind shipping from China, you can order it at the end of this month on amazon. But if you want to ship from amazon warehouse, you need to wait longer time.

@Sofirn

There are old fireware and the lasted fireware in batch 3. If you want to get LT1 lantern with the latest fireware which supports USBC to USBC and USBA-USBC charging, please tell us in your order.

I think they meant ‘firmware’ and ‘latest’ instead of fireware/lasted…… but I could be wrong. At least what Tk said.

yes

@Rat_Racer

@alternety

But which is which and what differences are there.

The one labelled New-LT-1 is the latest, with the C to C charging and latest firmware.

Back read a couple pages or 20 about the firmware changes, because it isn’t that new.

:+1: New-LT-1 is the latest which is compatible with C-C charging (C-C charging cable & charger not included)

Anyway of buying it off of Amazon for the same price as it is on the Sofirn store? It’s $20 more on Amazon at the moment.

You are awesome! Will any of the other sofirn lights with usb-c ports have updated drivers for c to c charging as well?

That post do not fill me with confidence, the programmer shouldn’t be asking forum members to correct & improve the programmers software.

That’s how free software works… it’s a participatory community – distributed non-hierarchic collaboration. Instead of dividing people into producers and consumers, people try to work together as peers. Not everyone is a programmer, but that doesn’t mean they have nothing to contribute. Lots of people around here design lights and circuits, manage projects, track interest lists, write documentation, answer questions, keep each other in good spirits, run tests, measure hardware performance, prototype new concepts, etc. Even if it’s just ideas and suggestions, everyone is welcome to contribute what they can… and I try to factor in the needs of many different people. But for some context, Tom E is one of the most experienced modders here, and one of the most prolific flashlight firmware authors, and his code is used on quite a few popular products. He created Narsil / NarsilM, which is what inspired Anduril, so I take his suggestions very seriously.

Only saw this now.... Torched then pulled out of the ashes... Thanks for the kind words!

Sorry, now it is unknown. We will make our plan according to the feedback of new LT1 lantern.

[alternety]

Just ordered my three lanterns. FYI: Sofirn has fixed their site to allow more than one lantern in the cart.

There have been a bunch of great ad-on possibilities on the forum. Is there a post somewhere that collects the possible devices and sources?

I would like to get at least a good variant of a shade.

So I know I’m late to the party but are there any deals still available for this light?

AliExpress will probably have some deals, there might be a coupon for sofirnlight.com

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

Just in case anybody was curious, my lantern from Aliexpress arrived today!

Took exactly one month.
