Please put me on the list for one
Post #4000!
(at the moment)
I think the bail needs to have a center notch bent into it so that it can hang on a nail or something similar without sliding around.
This makes a lot of sense.
Please put me on the list for two lights.
Interested in 1 please!
Hi, please put me on the list for one Lantern. Thanks!
How much will it slide now? All the weight is hanging down, so it will center itself on the bail (thank you for learning a new word :D).
I don’t see it sliding around much, had DBSAR tested this before?
I have many lanterns with the metal hoop-type bail, i never really had much of a problem with then on nails or cords. (unless you try to deliberately hang it on one side on something grippy like a rubber coated hook, they mostly center themselves. adding a protrusion will have it stick out (like a protrusion) when the bail handle is down though, and probably more of a hindrance when packing it in a a soft bag or case.
Shipping is usually free due to the US government subsidizing the shipping, not China.
I’m hoping the bail is easily removable so it can be replaced with paracord.
It seems that you will have to drill one hole vertically on both side, to meet the existing horizontal drilling made for the bail, if you need the paracord to go through the top part.
It will be removable. Once i receive the test unit i will be looking at the bail to paracord options.
Put me down for a second one please. (Initial request is 1082 on the list)
I’m intersted in 1.
Thanks!
Please add me to the list for one! Looks very cool!
I can’t resist anymore. I’ll take one.
All I wanted was a simple flashlight but ended up with FF E07, FW3A on the way and now this…
Some kind of thrower will be a next step I guess 
Kudos to DBSAR. I feel like this will spark a revolution in lantern industry.
It already has done that. I’m sure that the advanced UI with tint ramping of the Zanflare F1 was directly inspired by this thread.
Interested, please add me to the list for 1. Thanks
That was the intention of designing & building this lantern. As i spent weeks traveling in areas with no electricity, camping, expeditions, wilderness explorations, back-woods search & rescue operations at base camps needing reliable portable area lighting from dusk to dawn non-stop, i got frustrated in the lack of a good off-grid/light lanterns available on the market that didn’t have any good run times on higher light outputs, any good modes, lack of good CRI tints, all are made out of plastic, used heavy,leaky, alkaline batteries that were always dead after storage and ruined many lanterns, the list goes on with the lacking of features for a good 360 degree light source.
