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?
It would be interesting to know how the diffuser wil influence the light in matters of cri and color temp. The one I use makes my lights look cooler.
I know it won’t be possible for this one but, somebody spoke of remote phosphor domes. Wich I believe would be perfect for a lantern. I have looked into them but they seem not available anymore. I know yuyileds (?) uses them cause I broke one of their bulbs. The bulbs are really nice but could be a litter warmer for my taste for some applications.
