If the LED (s) will not be in the center, and instead a bolt will be there, I’d rather see three (or four) LEDs used, so the light doesn’t become bi-directional with shadow lines between the outputs of the two LEDs.
But you’re testing it, so I’ll trust you to come up with what works.
Pardon if I wasn’t able to check the earlier messages, but around how much would be the approximate price of this BLF lantern?
I’d be interested, depending on the price…
The specs have not been completely nailed down yet, so we don’t have a complete BOM yet, or a commitment from a manufacturer, so no final cost. The Q8 that this is hopefully going to be similar to had a group buy price of $40, “MSRP” of $80, and a coupon that brings it down to around $45-50 currently.
There are a lot of folks on the list under the heading “interested, depending on price”. Chances are good that it will be a great value though.
