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

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.

This is awesome. I’m interested in one

I am interested in one

Definitely interested. Please add me to the list I’ll take 2

Intrested in 2 please

I too remember somewhere around the $40 mark early on in the development of this lantern. That was just for a basic no frills lantern.

But what this has evolved into is far from a “basic no frills” lantern.

And the “estimated” price of $50, as stated in post #3759; is an absolute bargain!!
<span class=“time”@ this at unit per $50 around be to cost the estimating is manufacturer “the #3759… post from @quote”>

Remember folks, $50 is the estimate at this time.

DSBAR, I think you have done & are doing a stellar job with this project!! Thank you…. :+1:

And as been mentioned before, thank you for NOT going the cheap route just to meet some mythical unrealistic idea of a budget lantern price. :+1:

This lantern is gonna be a game changer I think!! :slight_smile:
