Follow the instructions which are now indicated in the OP.
Write a message on the order to indicate your BLF username. Then āPlace Orderā but do not pay yet (you may need to select āOther Payment Methodsā in AE, for you to be able to Place Order but not Pay. After selecting this option, you can go back to previous page but the order will be placed, it should now read āConfirm & Pay Orderā, which you shouldnāt do, until Sofirn adjusts the price to the GB price (wait some time), then proceed with payment when price has been adjusted.
At least thatās how I did mine.
Iām on the interest list at position 408 and 557, but didnāt receive any code via PM here (I wouldnāt order from Amazon anyway, so the code likely wonāt be useful for meā¦)
My order has been assigned a tracking number now in AE.
If I understand correctly, batch 2 has slightly newer firmware and an updated manual. There will probably also be green and sand colors at some point. Iām not sure if anything else is expected to change.
The Q8 had significant improvements between batch 1 and batch 2, but the LT1 seems unlikely to work that way since Sofirn now has years of experience with this type of design. My LT1 prototype is a production-quality item, and things have only gotten better since then.
Iāll probably wait to order, but not because Iām concerned about quality. Itās just because I already have one and I want someone else to be able to get theirs sooner.
Thanks @d t a, I follow your advice and I got the tracking no. in the same day that very fast base on previous buying it should take 5-7 days to arrive :sunglasses:
So I went to eBay, submitted a counter offer at the group by price. Sent them my blf username through eBay messaging, they accepted my offer this morningā¦ I paid for the light and it should ship mid November
Number 100 on the list, got the Amazon code for LT1 only, ordered with smile.amazon.com for donation to our church, so the NY state sales tax was worth it!!
Over 3 1/2 years in the mak'n, Thanks to everyone involved!!!
Does anyone know what happens to the price of this flashlight? Tonight, its price in the official Sofirn store on Aliexpress was $ 104 (94 Euro), now it is - $ 71 (64 Euro). What is the discount for forum participants? From what amount should it be considered?

Yes, on Amazon I paid $49.69 plus local tax ($4.29) with the code they pm'ed. It's not on Prime however, says in stock, arriving Nov 7 - Dec 2, hoping it will be sooner.
Instead of participating in the mad frenzy for getting a lantern ordered as soon as possible (I could get trampled), I intend to let Sofirn fill my order when they get to it. It only makes sense since the folks here have gone to all the effort to coordinate the GB for us and I donāt need to try to ācut in lineā. Frankly, I donāt undertsand the frenzy at all. Itās been almost 4 years and Iāve gotten along without one in hand for this long, does another month or 2 really mean that much? No, or at least not to me.
Maybe if they are gifts and I need to have them for Christmas, that might make the difference for a shorter delivery time.
Thanks to all involved for doing what you do and also for tolerating the āmadhouseā that the GB has become. Itās amazing what volunteers can accomplish and I must admit I couldnāt do what you folks do for us, or I couldnāt do it for any length of time without losing it. Iām trying to say āThank You!ā. (Iām just reading and Iām beginning to lose it, hence this post.)
Calm down folks! After you all trample each other, Iāll step over and around the trampled and bloody bodies and calmly take possession of my lanterns requested in the GB and without the frenzy. You can do the same. Life is so much simpler and longer without the rise in blood pressure and possible adrenalin dump. Itās not life and death, just a light, albeit a very nice light.
Iām guessing that when the second batch lights are ready, weāll get new links for the sand and green versions. I have my first order code, but Iām waiting on the codes for the lights I added later. So, I probably will just wait to order all together, and I might get colors other than black when I do. As excited as I am, I have to be patient I guess.
I received my 1st order code from Sofirn as well. Order placed, and it will be delivered when itās delivered.
When on Amazon donāt search for BLF LT1, that will bring you to the Q8 (why?). Instead, search for āBLF LT1 lanternā and itāll take you right to it.
