They are both labeled LT1.
The newest ones have updated driver hardware to make it compatible with a few more USB-C chargers.
If I understand correctly, that is the only difference.
If you use the included charging cable (USB A to C), it doesnāt matter. With the included cable, it should work with any charger the cable fits into.
Iāve just received mine 2 weeks ago and iām very happy with it and use it every day, I specially love reading a book in a dark room with a 2700k headlamp and using the Lighting storm mode paired with rain from https://asoftmurmur.com/ !!! 8) at least itās not collecting dust like my useless and boring Q8. cheers
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.
I think they meant āfirmwareā and ālatestā instead of fireware/lastedā¦ā¦ but I could be wrong. At least what Tk said.
@alternety, on the LT1 page of the sifirn website there are 4 pics of the lantern. The first 2 are the old version: 1st without batteries, 2nd with batteries.
The second set of pics is for the ānew versionā: 1st pic is without batteries, 2nd pic is with batteries
New version: Has two resistors added to the driver, to improve compatibility with some USB-C chargers.
Old version: Doesnāt have the two extra resistors.
Thatās it. Thatās 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?
If you donāt 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.
alternety:Yes. But I still can not understand what the various versions are.

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.
