I’m just trying to save you from a life-time of regrets when you’re constantly thinking about……what might have been!

SIGShooter · October 9, 2019, 1:44am

Congrats! You’re now tied for the lead in number of lanterns desired

SIGShooter · October 9, 2019, 1:45am

It’s open to one and all as long as they have an active BLF account

liquidrazer · October 9, 2019, 1:46am

can you use flat top or button top? or just button top cells?

SIGShooter · October 9, 2019, 1:48am

For anyone asking or thinking if it’s too late add 1 or more lanterns…the answer is no. We’ll continue to add to the interest list until Sofirn says no more and they haven’t given any indication of doing that.

Everyone who is in my database will receive a PM as long as their user name is correct in one of the files linked to in post #1.

I’d also like to get a second lantern, for a total of 2. Thanks.

amishbill · October 9, 2019, 2:09am

With one very specific exception, button top only.

Akgunwinner · October 9, 2019, 2:13am

1 for me

amishbill · October 9, 2019, 2:20am

Good Sir,

How Dare You lump me with the common rabble. Were my resources not stretched as thin as an Alms House orphan, I’d give your list a well and thorough seeing-to!

rogueRobot · October 9, 2019, 2:27am

Please put me down for one more, for a total of two. Thanks

Sparks65 · October 9, 2019, 2:30am

Hey SIGShooter, would you put me on the list for 2 more please? Total of 4…Thanks

This thread is very long and there’s a temptation to NOT read Post #1 before asking answered questions or posting inaccurate information, so enjoy :

THANK YOU for your interest in the LT1. See first post for major updates from DBSAR.

1. Group Buy is OPEN as of the timestamp of this post so no need to ask. Closure will be announced in thread title and post #1 along with other major updates from LT1 creator DBSAR.

2. Light without batteries is announced at $49.99 USD. Light with 4 Sofirn 3000mAh 18650’s is $62.99 USD. Ignore prices on any existing item pages.

3. This is an INTEREST LIST only and you are not committed to buying ANY lights by being on the Group Buy list. You simply MUST be on the list to be offered one or more Group Buy offer codes and instructions for purchase.

4. When the sale goes live, those on the Group Buy list will eventually receive a Private Message with the link and details that they need to place their order(s). The codes are likely to to be unique for each lantern, so get on the Group Buy list for as many as you MIGHT want.

1 request = 1 entry on GB list = 1 LT1 offer code
7 requests = 7 entries on GB list = 7 LT1 offer codes

5. GET ADDED to Group Buy list with simple post saying “1 for me” or something similarly obvious. If you want 3 lights, ask for 3 to get added to the list three times. If you’ve made prior requests, then please include how many TOTAL lights you want. This avoids confusion as people are asking for more lanterns and then finding out that they’ve already requested all that they want.

6. DO NOT tells us whether you want the light with batteries or in particular colors. All available options for this Group Buy will be selectable when purchasing.

7. SIGShooter is managing a list with thousands of entries and posts updates every Sunday evening, so new requests WILL NOT appear on the list until then. If you posted and don’t see an immediate response, DON’T WORRY, as SIG is doing a superb job. If you don’t see your name on Sunday evening’s updated list in post #1 or the spreadsheet, then feel free to make another post requesting X lights.

To determine if you are on the list for the correct number of LT1’s, go to Post #1 or Spreadsheet and search for your username.

Please use the search feature in your browser or in the spreadsheet app to find/highlight your username.

8. When updated list does come out, check for your username and DOUBLE-CHECK that:

Your username is spelled correctly in the list.

PMs (Private Messages) are enabled in your BLF account settings. Send yourself a test PM to make sure.

9. LT1 accepts FOUR 18650 li-ion button-top cells, though it can operate on ONE, TWO, or THREE cells at a reduced runtime.

Protected cells will work, but are NOT necessary.

Flat-top cells MAY work if the positive terminal STICKS OUT above the wrapper.

High-current cells are NOT necessary for this light, so high capacity cells are preferrable to allow the longest runtimes.

Please let me know if I have made mistakes in this post. I plan to update this post somewhat regularly as needed. This thread is growing very rapidly and will ultimately explode, so forgive me when I miss a few hundred pages. If you hate me for doing this, then please politely ask me to stop.

Thanks for putting everything down so concisely!

seven7seven · October 9, 2019, 3:06am

Thanks. Do you think protected cells would be a better idea for muggles, though?

freethink · October 9, 2019, 3:10am

Hi!
Id like to add 1 more to my request, for a total of 2 lanterns. Thanks!

SociopathicSamaritan · October 9, 2019, 3:10am

Put me down for 1 more, please. (Total of 2)

Helios_azimuth · October 9, 2019, 3:13am

As long as a cell is not inserted backwards, unprotected seem to be favored. Since it can be charged without removing the batteries, a trustworthy muggle can be told to never open it up. For a oppositional muggle, protected might be called for. But this is just one opinion.
