Which name for the *BLF Ultimate Lantern*

Looks like BLF-Lantern is the popular vote. :beer:

Is there a set time for the vote/poll to end?

September 31st.

Mark it on your calendar.

22 votes for BLF Lantern!? Come on guys how about a little imagination! How boring! :stuck_out_tongue:

This poll has … 58 choices? Is that right?

I don’t think I would even attempt a poll like this in a “vote for one” system. The math just doesn’t work out. But this sort of poll is perfect for approval voting (vote for one or more).

With almost 1000 requests on the interest list, I’m hoping we get a LOT more votes in this poll. Perhaps the tables will turn once more votes come in. :wink:

I’d really love to have at least three choices in this poll (First, Second, Third choice). I agree this is too much for a “vote for one” poll.

FWIW
I know yall never listen to me and I thought about not posting at all but I just cant help it.
The way I see it is this was DBSAR’s baby and although someone can and should appreciate suggestions when naming a “child” It is still the parent that has the final word. Jeeez, look at all the suggestions…… Surely DBSAR has a favorite?
I think he ought to have the honor of choosing a name for it.
Okay……. I said it.

I wouldn’t mind if he chose the name. I get the feeling he doesn’t want to though. But if he did, I’d be all for it.

I do understand your thoughts on that.
I never really looked into the name and what would be good for it. I did like the BLF-LT with the logo one & Lantern symbol and border similar to the GT, but because the GT was built by Lumintop Barry mentioned it was awkward for the factory to use that logo because of its similarity to the one on a light built by a different factory. Neal contacted me recently asking about if we had a factory & engineers working on the lantern, project, as he expressed interest in this new project and having Lumintop’s factory take on the project, but we had already handed the project production to Barry and the factory that build Sofirn’s lights. (with Thorfire)
As for other alternate names for the lantern, I thought of others like: BLF-Lantern with the lantern logo either before or after the name string, but i still agree with some that ” BLF Lantern is very generic, and needs some kind of model designation. I also liked the one another suggested: “BLF-SARlantern” , or “BLF-ULT” as another name, ( ULT meaning UltimateLantern.)

so in reality the top favorite names i like in row of fave to last (excluding BLF-LT) is:

- BLF SARlantern

- BLF-ULT

  • BLF-Lantern (logo)
    -?
    -?
    -?

Here is a rendering of a logo engraving i thought of recently, what is your thoughts?

so let it be written
so let it be done

Here is an edited version of the logo idea:

How about “George”, so it’ll be less confusing to all my other lights?

I think that first version looks much better.

.

BLF illuminator 18650

Yes, good choice :smiley: I could also troll my wife with that name… She calls for me (George), a lantern named George on an RC car appears in front of her, here, job done, now leave me alone :smiley:

I want to vote for BLF LT but there is no option

Missing BLF SkyLantern (Or, in Chinese, BLF 天灯 ).

SARLantern makes me think Search and Rescue Lantern… which is kind of neat.

My vote: BLF Lantern

Simple and easy. I definitely think we should use Aleister’s awesome logo

BLF Lantern… BLF LT for short

Just like BLF Gigga Thrower is GT for short

Gotta confess, I saw that and asked myself… “BLFOLT??”.
