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.
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.
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:-
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.
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?
