Welcome to the Forum! :beer:

172

very true, nearly 95% of all LED lanterns found today from stores have eye-searing glarey blueish cold tints. This lantern project has a nice warm white like an incandescent lamp.

173

Interested, maybe I’m blind but do we have an idea of price yet?

174

Were not to that stage yet. (pricing)

175

Gotcha. Who will manufacturer the lights? Sorry tl;dr

176

We do not know as of yet, that will depend on who Kronological can work it out with.

177

Definitely Interested - Awaiting final specs and cost!
Thank You DBSAR for using your MAD MOD Passion and for sharing this exciting idea.

Some outdoor photos will come soon this week of this prototype before its big back-country remote camping trip field-test in May, with feedback from fellow campers, & comparisons to my other best modified lanterns in use.
Then the design specs and blueprint design will be submitted for Krono & others to work on getting a production model rolling.

Very nice prototype DBSAR! Keep up the good work :beer: .

181

Opps… i think i screwed up the formatting in the OP…. now its just a mess of text & mumbo jumbo. I may need SB in on this to help…

182

Thanks ri chevy! I could use a few of those with the way life has been going lately. :slight_smile:

183

EDIT: - I managed to fix the formatting in the OP.) -more prototype photos coming soon.

184

Would be cool to have the option of a flashlight lense for it…so you can convert it to a flashlight and back to a lantern.

185

yeah a recoil thrower :smiley:
but that big heatsink is kind of making that impossible.

186

we have tons of flashlights already, the purpose of this project was for a lantern only light.

187

I was thinking it would be nice for a shtf light to have that…

188

I’d be in.

189

Nice! A lot of light still hits the ceiling, how about an inverted cone or curve inside the cap to reflect more of that light sideways or downsince most of led output is directed near 90 degrees from the die plane. You will still get upward spill from what misses the cone.
