*BLF LT1 Lantern Project) (updated Nov,17,2020)

For those of you who haven’t already done so now’s the time to verify that your blf name is correct on either of the linked spreadsheets (post #2). PM Notifications will be automatically generated based on the names in those spreadsheets so if your name is incorrect then you won’t be getting a PM.

This is a one-time check so once verified then you’re good to go. Only send me a PM if your name is wrong.

YES! WooHoo! Let’s get this party started! :partying_face:

I was thinking about waiting for the second batch, that is supposed to have power bank feature, but why not both :slight_smile:

Interested in one

So first version is not gonna have power bank capability?

posts #3600 and #3616 said no power bank, maybe later

DBSAR make them send you a second lens / cup /acrylic part.
So you can test when it will break.
The rim of the top part locks a bit thin. A bit more Aluminium would be good

I don’t expect this as the last prototype, as you said there are a lot of new parts.

I will mention to Barry to send me an extra lens/globe to do testing on indeed. ( as i will be doing as series of testing as videos on Youtube.

nice :+1:

Regarding a rubber bumper:
What about a groove for a big o-ring on head and bottom?
Or any other rubber seal from the plumbers store?

That could be a good idea to add.

Interested, thank you

Please add me to the list for one. Awesome work by everyone involved! I’ve been following this thread for several years now. :+1:

Thank you for the update and all of your continued efforts, Den! :+1:

I’m looking forward to your new testing videos.

I watched your original prototype videos when you first posted them. And a couple more times since. :partying_face:

Thanks for the support. I do need to do more videos of flashlight & lanterns, and will definitely soon, especially once this BLF LT1 lantern project gets rolling.

I think the basic model could use a modified version of Anduril. Basically just set to the multi mode group instead of ramping, and possibly some high number of clicks to unlock Anduril so the normies don’t accidentally change things.

This is fantastic news, been following for some time. As a long time lurker, this is the project that made me join BLF to get in on the action, very much looking forward. Thank you to all who’ve invested their time and resources to realize this lantern.

This is great! It’ll be right in time for the summer hiking season. Any news on whether the final product will have usb C? I’m really hoping it does, it’d be great to carry a single cable for both the ft03 and LT1.

I really hope it does, at this point I’d rather have no charging then have to deal with micro usb, every mico usb cable I had always seems to fail at the worst moments.

Sofirn is really doing work around here. Good to see, they are earning points with me.

I just don't understand why they don't make the C8F with XPL-HI...

the USB-C interface is planned.

That’s awesome, thanks for the updates!

And yes, Sofirn has really changed the game for the better.
