Hello,

Please put me on the list for one thanks.

How I have not noticed this until now is beyond me, but I’ve been looking for a nice latern forever.

Please put me down for TWO.

Thanks!

Boxkite and pechelman,

Can you enter template “@listbot add [totalnumber]” to be added to the list?

At the moment there is some issue with thread where the interest list is posted, but your request will be noted after it is sorted out.

thanks, huey18. will do

I have been waiting to hear back from Barry to send him the driver files from Lexel. Haven’t heard from him in a few days. (Guess they are busy with work. Will update asap.

This looks awesome! I’ve been looking for a decent camping Lantern.

I know it is not economical or practical for this lantern, but for a possible future project I think a really nice idea would be a retro look lantern based on an old paraffin/kerosene hanging lantern design, perhaps a small brass version.

The charging port could then be very nicely sealed behind an O-ring sealed metal screw cap with a chain retainer, that looks like the old fuel caps.
Brightness/CCT control via a rotary switch could resemble the wick adjustment.

:+1:

Cool idea. Maybe for a future model as a LT1 “Classic” model once we get this first lantern into production.

I think for a classic look something like a Davy Lamp ( Welsh Miners Lamps at Giftware Wales ) would look better than the old Parafin styles?

I have a brass version of something very similar, it uses candles, but in a very different way. The candle is inserted into a metal sprung tube which feeds it upwards as it melts, keeping the flame at the same level.

Actually I was thinking of a less ornamental version of something like this:-

Kids are back to school today. Another camping season shot to hell without the BLF lantern

The pic looks like a face facing up with a big nose. Forehead on right.

craig-IL sounds like Craig from Illumination Supply. He was on the forum for a couple of years but never did anything remotely questionable at least back then.

I’m in.

Very interested please put me down for 2 if available. Thanks

Hey guys. I am a big fan of the clip-on “glare guard” attachment of the Streamlight Super Siege.

I find it a brilliant idea: simple, yet useful, especially when using the lantern as a work light. And it is supposed to be quite inexpensive to manufacture, it is just a piece of plastic, after all.
I think it would be awesome if something similar would be available for the BLF LT1, either as an optional or standard accessory. What do you think?

Thanks!

And now, please put me on for a second! :slight_smile:
The more I read about this design, the more I love it …
