THANK YOU for your interest in the LT1. See first post for LT1 information and updates from its creator, DBSAR.


1. Group Buy is OPEN as of the timestamp of this post. Closure will be announced in thread title and post #1 .

Those in the Group Buy will receive an opportunity to purchase an early production unit at a special price. After the Group Buy has ended, the LT1 will be available for general purchase, though likely at a higher price.


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 list. You simply MUST be on the list to be offered one or more offer codes and instructions for purchase.


4. Those on the Group Buy list are NOW receiving Private Messages with offer codes and the relevant details needed to place their order(s). Codes are being sent out according to the ordering on the Group Buy list and will be unique for each lantern, so get on the Group Buy list for as many as you MIGHT want. Unused codes are expected to expire after 30 days.

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.


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 the Group Buy list and posts updates every Sunday evening, so new requests MIGHT NOT appear on the list until then. If you posted and don’t see an immediate response, DON’T WORRY. If you still don’t see your name on the updated list, then feel free to make another request post.

To determine if you are on the list for the correct number of LT1’s, go to Post #1 or Spreadsheet and use the search feature in your browser or in the spreadsheet app to find/highlight your username.


8. When the updated list does come out, 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.

Though the lists should match, the Spreadsheet is the official list, so any corrections must be reflected there.


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.

10. LT1 User Manual can be viewed and downloaded HERE
Available languages: English (EN), French (FR), German (DE)

I can post this on the OP to help clarify for everyone if you wish, it could be helpful. :+1:

If not too late, I would like to add 1 more for a total of 2. Thanks!

I added you.

I see the thread’s title has changed and a very cool update has been added to the first post! :partying_face:

Thanks again for all your hard work, LT1 Team! :+1:

Still open? I’ll take one!

Further updates here

I would like to get two more lanterns, for a total of three.

Thanks!

I added that link to the OP in the updates too. :+1:

I’ve thought about this and am undecided about whether my constant deleting and re-posting is helpful or not. If any of what I wrote is helpful, then you are free to use it in the OP or wherever you wish, but I can’t decide whether my post is wasting more space than it’s worth. Despite my best efforts, it certainly consumes a lot of space.

This is your thread and I’ll do whatever is most helpful. For now, I think that I’ll stop re-posting my “Answers” to leave more space for others. If something is posted, then I want it to be as accurate and up-to-date as possible. As the GB is now live for the first group, my post is already outdated.

One for me please.

1 for me please.

Thank you!

Do we know if there will be any differences between the batches? Small corrections, improvements, anything like that?

One for me please!
