Please leave the Lightning Storm Mode as it is, to cooooooool to change :slight_smile:

The point she is making, is the lightning storm wonā€™t be nearly as dramatic from the lantern because it doesnā€™t produce the lumens of the Q8.

Iā€™m interested too, only one of course.

A lantern would be quite useful. Do you think it could also fit 20700/21700 cells?

Would like to know.

1004

This is a great idea. 4 x 21700 could give 16000 to 18000 mAh. A little plastic sleeve could easily convert it for 18650.

1005

Oh yes, that would be awesome. Downsize compatibility is a must. 21700s to 18650 adapters would be excellent.

1006

Put me down for one please.

1007

Interested - 1

1008

Interested in 1

1009

One for me too.

1010

Also interested in on (1) light.

I like where this is going so far, especially when there is a true WW option.
Camping light = warm light.
At least to me that isā€¦

Same here, I never understood folks that spend their evening outside with a cool white neon Coleman lantern. :confounded:

1012

Iā€™m in!

Had a situation where this light would have been the perfect solution

1013

Please add me to the list for 1, this souds too good to pass up.

1014

Interested in one.

Thanks.

1015

I read on another thread that the lantern project is going for about 500 lumens on max. Is this true? I would imagine that this might be about the highest output that I would need much of time, but it sure would be nice to have access to a higher turbo level for those times where more light is needed.

1016

Really nice project!

Please add me for one.

Thanks. :slight_smile:

1017

As far as Iā€™m aware, yes.

The driver is using true current regulation, not a FET+7135 design, and all MCU pins are already being usedā€¦ so increasing maximum output is not very feasible without significant design changes.

Itā€™s designed by someone who uses lanterns frequently for long periods, to be practical rather than flashy. Ideally, charge-able each day with a small solar panel, with enough runtime to last the entire evening, for long-term off-grid use.

I have a 650lm Fenix CL30R. I never use it on high, its just too bright for around the campsite.

1019

I will take one as well.

1020

Agreed on warm light.
