*BLF LT1 Lantern Project) (updated Nov,17,2020)

I like L1. As others have said, maybe the logo in between “BLF” and “L1” would look good. I know it’s only a first rendition, but less blocky, more modern font would be my other suggestion. I really like the overall idea, though. Good job :slight_smile:

I think we found a winner.

I will try the alteration tonight.

Here you go.
I like this design, and feel this should be the final Lantern name & logo.

I like it! Let’s go with it!

Excellent! :+1:

It would be cool to see others fonts, too.

I just looked at it zoomed way down to a small size like it might be on the light, and the font looks a little bit “fat” compared to the lines of the lighthouse lantern logo, which look very “thin”. Maybe there is yet some tweaking to be done, but it still looks good.

I like it. :+1:

Looks good, if we want we could even add a “real” name underneath it.
But maybe you could try to make the latern look older or more symbolised.

I like it. But I think the characters should be less fat; different font maybe.

And does it cost anything. It is probably a small number of seconds on the CNC machine making the rest of it. Getting something like paint in there ; a bit more.

I am not a CNC person. Would it make a difference in manufacturing if the logo used a V cut or tried for U.

It will be useful if power bank function can be applied.
That will reduce weight in mountain trips at all.

Sorry if this was discussed before.

The logo is not cut on a cnc. They use a laser. Normally a fiber laser e.g. a random video from the IN

Put me down for one

Welcome to BLF RichardBrown, I have you down at number 918 on the interest list.

Hello,
I am Interested in one.

welcome to BLF Malibu, I added you at number 919 on the interest list. By the way, I live just up the coast from the California city of Malibu. I was surprised to see someone from Germany choose that as a user name. :+1:

To potential lantern users and others, I am working on the driver design, which is a 4x7135 design with tint shift for two sets of LEDs. The basic driver is done. Several of you have requested other “features” in the design. I am looking for schematics diagrams of these features to incorporate into the driver as appropriate. The best would be a powerbank feature. Others include a simple cell charger.

For me, I have limited or no access to specialty tools for building this driver. So designs that incorporate ICs or components that required soldering with something other than a soldering iron I can not build and test. If you have access to such tools and are willing to help, that would be great. This is a team effort, and my time and skills are somewhat limited. I have learned a bit of PCB layout specifically for this project, which has been fun. How about you join in on the fun as well!
