I am interested in two, please add me to list.

While weā€™re talking about charging, I have two questions. Anyone have a guess as to the parasitic drain just sitting there? Also, would it be safe to leave plugged in with an old phone charger to keep it topped up for power outages and such?

Ok, four questions. Is lockout as easy as a bit of unscrewing? And would that mess with the water resistance, if there is any?

Thanks, Larry

1. Parasitic drain is extremely low with the BLF Q8, and should be the same for the BLF Lantern, so you will not have to worry at all.
If you really are worried about this, lock out the light manually, and do not use protected cells.

2. It would be safe, but would not be good for the capacity of the cells. Just charge the 18650s about every year or so, and you will be fine.

3. Lockout is super easy. Just unscrew it slightly.

4. As long as you donā€™t unscrew it too far and it is well lubed, it will have no effect on water resistance.
In fact, Iā€™ve actually tried my Q8 in a pool under about 1,50m, and no water ingress was found at all, even around the button.

I may have missed this but does anyone know if there are plans to supply the lantern WITH batteries as a package? Where i live is tricky to get batteries shippedā€¦ā€¦

Yes absolutely. Iā€™ve already spoken to Sofirn about this, and they said they should be including batteries as part of another choice.
