Just got my code and ordered from amazon.de.
Thanks again to the whole LT1 team especially DBSAR for following this through to the end.

Does this also have a turbo mode?
Can the cap-base be bought separately? or what is an alternative. I need to cover the lantern base when the batteries are not connected.
Actually, the English term "battery" has two meanings in German.
Battery = "Akku(mulator)" = rechargeable battery
Battery = "Batterie" = disposable battery
Seams logical and akku(mulator) made it relevant. Thx
Does this also have a turbo mode?
Highly unlikely. I’m guessing it ramps all the way up to 600 lumens. I don’t see the point having a higher turbo being a lantern that’s designed for runtime
Is it too late to add my name to the list if possible? Thanks

Ordered via AliExpress, have a tracking number and waiting for delivery
Really! 974 and no pm

No need for PM if you’re ordering from Ali or eBay.

I believe anyone can order from aliexpress at any time without a PM as long as their name is on the list.
Just an opinion of mine…. having the LT1 available from Amazon with a PM’d code as well as being available on eBay and aliexpress is very confusing. I know this ordering process is completely out of our hands so this is just a statement for future consideration by anyone else involved in a project.
If anyone on the list can order from ali or ebay at anytime what is the point of the numbered list? It becomes a free for all.

Codes are only needed for Amazon but they all ship from China

This is correct. The LT1’s primary purpose is to be ‘enough’ lighting to let you function normally over an extended time. In a situation where normal lighting is not available, this should be enough light to allow it. It was never designed to replace a 200w chandelier.
That said, there are - I believe - solder pads on the driver to let those who want to trade runtime for more light. If the details are not in the instruction manual, dig through the first post and you should be able to find them. You’re not going to hit 4 digits of light, but you can get ‘more’.
Not a bad idea.
Light Years: DBSAR:Production prototypes were sent out to TK, Lexel & myself to run through a battery of tests to work out bugs, but there were no free current production units sent.
It’s a shame that you (and the rest of the team) aren’t getting a free production unit. With all the time you invested in this project, you really deserve one. With nearly 3000 units on the interest list, that’s $150 000 worth of sales for them (plus what they will sell afterwards).
Hey Sofirn, it’s not too late to show some well deserved recognition to those who designed a product that will bring you a few $100K in sales.
$150k in sales, but definitely not $150k in profit.
Having said that, it would be pretty nice if they sent the couple of ppl that worked on it a special limited edition. We would all drool over it and then some people would buy the LE version on top of what they are already buying.

I’m pretty sure you’re both incorrect. We went over this when working on the manual. As it was explained… By default the light does not ramp all the way to the max possible output. It ramps to the “ceiling” which is not the max possible output. As such, the “turbo” is brighter. You can change the ceiling to the max possible output, but that’s not how it ships.
Of course it’s always possible that we were given incorrect information despite making every effort to ensure the accuracy of it.

I’m just going by what TK said way way back…
About the level 65 thing… It is behavior inherited from other lights which use the same firmware. On many of them, the default ramp goes from 1/150 to 130/150, and then there is an additional turbo level at 150/150. When it turns on, it tries to hit 65 because it is visually halfway up and makes a good “medium” mode.
On the lantern, there is no turbo by default. It’s not bright enough for that to make sense. So the ramp goes from 1/150 all the way to 150/150. It still defaults to level 65/150 after a battery change though, since it’s still a pretty good “medium” mode.
As for the floor and ceiling levels, the ceilings are both set to the highest level by default. The smooth ramp floor is set to the lowest level. And the stepped ramp starts at 10 and has 5 steps.
Smooth: 1 to 150
Stepped: 10 to 150 in 5 steps: 10, 45, 80, 115, 150

Anything is possible… The manual now says that the ramp goes all the way to the max possible output level. It also says there’s a turbo mode. I can’t vouch for the accuracy of it.
