The 219c is a very nice LED, but since it is not the most efficient emitter out there it does not fit into the lanterns idea of maximum efficiency. Swapping LEDās in the lantern should not be too difficult if you feel it is necessary.
Every time I go out for a fire, or help a buddy work on a car. Or just hanging out after dark having a drink outside I think about how nice this lantern will be.
Interested. Please add me to list.
Interested.
Initially I wasnāt interested, because how often would I use a lantern? But Iāve been using my Q8 in candle mode a lot for the past few months, so I think the BLF lantern will be a nice thing to have.
Iāve been meaning to add a shutoff timer to the candle mode so I can turn it on then go to sleep. Iām thinking itāll be on forever by default, but the user could click three times to add 30 minutes to the timer. So, turn it on with click-click-hold, and it goes into candle with no timer. Click 3 times to set the timer to 30 minutes. Repeat for 60 minutes. Then maybe 12 minutes pass and the user decides to extend the timer again, so click 3 times to increase it from 48 minutes to 78 minutes.
Could also be useful while hanging out after dark. Likeā¦ we can chat for a while, but when the candle burns out itās bed time. Just set the timer to 2 hours or whatever.
That sounds like a pretty awesome tweak, TK! :+1: I would find a feature like that quite useful in the regular lighting modes as well.
BTW, do you think it would be feasible to add a fade-to-off at the end of the timer? It seems there may be some increased capability for adding some less common features with this driver. Iāve been meaning to do some reading on the coding end of driver configuration, but havenāt gotten that far yet and am unsure if the impact on memory of the additional coding would be impossible.
It already has a sunset mode, which fades from ~15 lm to zero over a period of about an hour, then shuts itself off.
For the candle, Iāll probably make it stay steady until the last minute or so, then fade and snuff out.
I am in for one

Is the deadline for the project already known?
Holidays and trips to the forest are approachingā¦ 
Good work takes time,as i remember dbsar switched jobs so he hasnāt got much time at the moment.
I understand. The perfect thing must arise for a long time.
I am waiting patiently.
