Having been using the tint ramping firmware for a few months now I do like the idea of the auto tint however I am not sure I like the idea of “pushing” past to edge to set auto tint. Often I’ll find myself in a lower mode that doesn’t use a particular channel in low but it turns on later as I increase brightness. So I’ll often ramp for a while to one side to know I hit the edge.

So given this I’ll offer an idea. How about setting auto tint the same way we set step ramp? A predefined number of clicks or hold combo would set us in auto tint and disable with the same combo.

Ain’t nobody got time fo dose battrees.

  1. Lantern + 4x18650 + carrying case + (if possible) aluminium diffusion sheet.

I’ve got batteries. :slight_smile:

I don’t know yet, but yes, that’s how it should look.

It looks like about 5.5 mA (3.5 months) on moon, but that’s with all 7x7135 enabled. It should be a bit lower with fewer 7135 chips. And if I understand correctly, it should ship with 4 or 5 chips enabled per channel.

Or there’s standby mode with the button on, which is about 0.1 mA (~16 years) at the brightest level.

That’s why I’m planning to add a blink when it hits the end. I’d want to add it anyway, because it’s hard to tell where the edge is… but it can also help make the auto-tint thing more intuitive. Hit the edge, keep pushing for a full second, and then it’ll go to auto. Something like that, anyway.

Can I please be added to the interested list. Thanks.

Please add me to the interest list. Thank you

@Mr.Scott and others, don’t forget about the general public.
They quite literally need this, so I’m not going to remove batteries for this.

The accessories will probably be sold separately and for cheaper if you don’t want to get 18650s.

4085

please add me to the interested list :slight_smile:

4086

Definitely interested here.

4087

I’d buy the battery package if they were good batteries. Don’t need any 1500mah trustfire clones.

Interested in one or two pending price

All right fine; add me to the interest list for one lantern. Thanks for the hard work, everyone! Looking great.

4090

First time posting, actually created this account to say I want one. Is there anywhere else I would need to say that? Or is this sufficient?

4091

Please add me to the interest list. I’m late to the party but it looks like a great design.

That prototype sure looks good. Thank you for the pictures TK.

Hopefully you receive your sample soon DBSAR, the wait must be tormenting :smiley:
I do have to say the rather heavy frosting was a bit of a surprise after all the prototyping and R&D and talks and so on.
But this is a perfect example why samples are made.

By the way DBSAR, do you have any gear to test the light transmittance of the globe? May even help the communication as I’d expect a flashlight manufacturer to have such a tool to test lenses and whatnot.
These testers are a bit of a niche though as even from China they’re not that cheap, cheapest ones from Linshang Tech are around 70USD just as an example.

Hello,

I’m not here all that much but appreciate what happens here - I saw the lantern on a reddit post and am very interested.

I’m not sure of the process - but I’d like to be put on the list for one.

If someone would be so kind to let me know if there is a follow up task I should be performing, I’d appreciate it a lot.

Thank you very much, Carl G.

Welcome to the forum Jeep157

Just saying you want one is all you need to do ...cept wait ......and buy it when it becomes available :)

4095

Thanks. I have a Fenix CL25R (which I just saw they discontinued) that works great, but this looks awesome. I love my Q8 so this looks like the next logical thing for me.

4096

Interested in 1 please.

4097

Please add me to the interest list, thanks.
