Anyone got a zanflare T1 lantern?

A 9 person tent!?

That’s a Big Top. :smiley:

I still gotta get the hang of the UI, but in the meantime I just keep it stuck on WW and leave it.

Yeah, would be really nice to be able to turn it off with a coupla taps, rather than having to lift it up, find the button, and press’n’hold.

I lied, it’s an 8-person tent, but you know how they size them up - 8 people in it would be like sardines in a can. But it was comfortable for 3. 6’10” center height is nice, too.

here is what it looks like inside, mine arrived DOA, so i broke it open before i threw it out, i got a full refund and have another one on the way

Thanks Plat, interesting photo. :+1:

Mine arrived today and works great. Just as advertised, it’s a nice lantern and love the touch to dim top feature. Wasn’t dark enough to test before my son took it to bed but all th functions worked.

That’s nearly 100 LEDs on there, must be rather inexpensive ones. Looks like they maybe add a red one just to give some red color?

Mine is stuck “on”
the switch turns on the red, red blink along with all the other leds butt will not turn it off.
same thing with or without the battery installed (usb cable)
the touch control seems to try to switch tint butt can’t overcome the total output

I’ve had 2 for a few months now. So far no problems. I love them.

I am really liking mine too. So far no problems at all.

Have you tried a long press on the rubber button?
That turns it off and skips the red modes.

Great photo plat, interesting to see the insides on these things, would have never guessed that is held together with zipties!

Looks like thermal glue under the LED boards, those who suggested the tailcap gets hot because the battery tube is a heatsink appear to have been spot on.

This threw me slightly first time I used mine, the long press on the rubber button is slightly longer than I’m used to.

I guess that answers my question…
Pity…

…and that raises my follow up question… :^D

Aren’t those the size of those Nichia LEDs Clemence sells, the newest very high CRI ones?
Looks like a b*tch to replace them though…

OK, I ordered a couple more.
One is perfect.
The other only operates the red leds, solid and blinky. The touch control is kaput. Only works with the bottom button.
I’m done with these.

I’ll bag the battery with the first one(always on), and only install it when needed.
The “red only” one goes in my spare tire compartment.

I just don’t want to deal with Chinese CS anymore. Life is too short and I have other priorities.

And yes I’ve RTFM.

I also have one like your problem
Once you put the battery it will turn on without touching the top switch. Cannot adjust the brighness on both tint. Just maximum cw and max nw. Cannot turn it off by pressing the bottom switch.

yeah, my one like that turns the red leds on/off with the bottom switch butt does not affect the others which remain on throughout.

Mine died today. Was using it everyday as a bedside lamp, and just stopped working. No reds, no light, nothing. Connected it to a usb charger and the nano led works, but not the lantern. Crap! :person_facepalming: I was enjoying it! :cry:
Time to make a video and open a ticket at Gearbest!

I had the same exact issue juhha.

This seems like a really good light, but I wanted one with 95+CRI swap. I have no idea why they needed so many LEDs. 2-4 even 8 I can understand, but over 60 seems too much. And very difficult to swap.

So far mine have been working great, although the tail caps do run hot. Not happy with that.
