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

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.

please add me to the interested list :slight_smile:

Definitely interested here.

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.

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?

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 :)

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.

Interested in 1 please.

Please add me to the interest list, thanks.

Please add me to the list.

Put me down for two (2) please.

Please add me to the list for one, thanks!

Edit: and all accessories except batteries.

How i tested it was using both my lux meter, and the light meter app on my phone. i did measurements at 1 foot & 4 feet with the globe/shade removed completely & LEDs in line of-sight of the meter sensors, then did the same with globe in place. Will do that too in comparison to the V1 & V2 design prototypes to compare it to the production prototype. ( I also have my Lux/Lumens sphere , “Lumens Sputnik” .

The lumen sphere will give the numbers for comparison, if you manage to place the lantern inside, or at least stick the entire cup inside.

Measuring lux from distances will be too sensitive for brightness variations across the beam so it is not representative of total output.
