I’ve been meaning to add a shutoff timer to the candle mode so I can turn it on then go to sleep. I’m thinking it’ll 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.

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. I’ve been meaning to do some reading on the coding end of driver configuration, but haven’t 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, I’ll probably make it stay steady until the last minute or so, then fade and snuff out.

Looks like Haikelite kind of beat everyone to the punch. (of sorts). Charger head, with lantern emitters. Can also work as a power bank. Screws onto their flashlight battery tubes.

That looks more like a mule than a lantern…

I guess, if it didn’t have a diffuser like most lanterns have, and mules don’t have
