I already have you in for 2.
If it is not too late I would like to add two more lights to the group buy for a total of four lights. I currently have #769 and #1631.
FWIW, one can navigate to their BLF account and send themselves a Personal Message to verify they are setup for the upcoming LT1 PM.
Please add 2 to my order.
Should be at a total of 3 now.
Ouch. The price is almost that of a Fenix CL30R. Since I already own that, I can’t justify the price on the LT1.
Corrected a typo lol
That would only confirm that they can get a PM. However it doesn’t confirm that their BLF user name is correct in my database which is the source that will be used for sending out the LT PM. I know for a fact that there is a WWWW entry (#117) on the list that does not exist in BLF and as such that person won’t be getting a LT PM.
Since it only takes a few minutes (and is a 1-time thing) to verify the accuracy of one’s name in the linked Excel files I think it behooves everyone to do so.
In addition since it appears that sending out a PM for each lantern requested with a unique code is on the boards everyone should also verify that their count is correct as they will only be getting as many PM’s as I have them in for.
I could also send out a test PM to everyone and see which one’s are rejected but I don’t think that people will be happy getting spam’ed 
Yes you can!
The Fenix CL30R is over $100 US. The LT1 group buy is half that. Spend $13 more and get 4x 3000mAh batteries compared to the Fenix 3x 2600mAh. The only real feature disparity I see that benefits the Fenix is use as a power bank.
Not really since the price you’re seeing on Sofirn’s AliExpress page is not the BLF discount price which is going to be around $50 (depending on options of course).
Edited to say that amishbill beat me to the punch
I would have been faster but I spent time trying to find a Fenix CL130R which does not seem to be a real product. :face_with_monocle:
Looking at the Fenix CL130R specs the BLF lantern look much better to me even if the prices were the same. Which they’re not of course.
Better performance and features at half the price….seems like an easy decision to me
Where did you find a CL130R? The closest I could find is a CL30R.
OK, it is a two step process: First go to the spreadsheet link and verify your BLF name, and then send yourself a PM. I think sending everyone a practice PM, may cause a lot of confusion IMHO.
Hahaha…I spent some time Googling too and it appears that it can only be bought directly from Fenix.
Right which is why I’m not going to, or even ever planned on, sending out a test PM.
I think for the most part that just going to the spreadsheet and visually verifying that one’s name is correct is good enough. But the extra step you suggested is definitely the definitive test.
I only found the CL30R so I assumed that was what he meant
If the group buy is on Amazon, will it still ship slow boat style from mainland China or is there already a supply present in the US for prime shipping?

when I click on spreadsheet link I get “Page Not Found”.
What is the story with the “Batch 2” (with firmware corrections)?
What was corrected or changed and how does a person know which one to get or which one they will be getting?
Also I can’t use aliexpress. It doesn’t work on my computer. Where else can I buy one?
I think most things come on the slow boat, but some have been shipped in advance and stored in a warehouse here in the states. For this, I’m not sure it would be any faster to ship it to a warehouse first. Amazon fulfillment is pretty awesome though, so it might.
