*BLF LT1 Lantern Project) (updated Nov,17,2020)

Can i have an Aliexpress code ?

There is no AliExpress code. Place an order, choose “other payment” then message Sofirn with your BLF username if you’re on the GB list and they’ll change the price

:+1:

Thx :+1:

I would like one how do i do this exactly?

I think you just put yourself in for one… that’s it. watch closely for ordering info etc

I just added you to the interest list but since you’re in position 2,891 you likely won’t get a PM from Sofirn until after the batch 1 run.

Ok so I’ll get a pm when i can place the pre order?

Add me for a third please!

Please add me for one

I would like one. Please add me to the list if it is not to late.

Please add me to the list. Thanks!

LT1 can work with single cell but wondering if it would stay upright with just single cell and top hat reflector shade? or I would need plastic wide base stand.

What is going to cause it to tip over? The center of gravity will still be over the base. The top hat reflector shade doesn’t move the center of gravity out laterally from the base.

CT has 39000 houses no power, my wife asks me where my lantern is.
I said I don’t have a lantern, and she be brought I have sooo many lights, and no lantern.
I can’t wait until I get my blf lantern!

SCE is threatening to cut our power off tomorrow, my LT1 is just about to leave China. fortunately ceiling bounce of the Q8 is not a bad alternative to a lantern.

i am a bit confused, should i order on AE and message Sofirn to change the price or wait PM from Sofirn and then make the order? I am #980 btw.

JakeDjanitor, We were w/o public utility supplied electricity also, for about 4 1/2 hours. We do have an aging battery backup PV solar power system (never a grid tied system!) and I switched it on, but since the batteries aren’t spry anymore we go as easy on their stored juice as possible. Yes, the lantern would have been nice to have. But as outages were anticipated I charged all of the cells last night for our everyday lights and have a ceiling to reflect beams, and I used a headlight as much as possible until the sun rose.

We’re still in the middle of the northeaster that developed bigtime out in the Gulf of Maine. Our public utility power is back now and the batteries are charging in anticipation of the next downed tree that falls across the lines. We have saturated soft ground, the trees still have leaves, we have high winds and that’s not a good combination. If we had been w/o power for much longer I would have started the generator. But it might not be over for us since the winds will last into the night and the soil takes days to drain. But autumn is our “monsoon” season as the wet summer air from the Gulf of Mexico and the cold from the north fight over control of our weather for the winter; it’s to be expected every year.

But yes, the thought did go through my mind that the LT1 would have been nice to have but it’s no where close to my AO. My #128 (correction, #129) is here instead:
“Package has left the carrier facility GuangDongShengGuangZhouShi” . After it hits our mainland it’s still a week away.

I feel ya,I started my little 2000 watt gen. Charging q8 cells now! Running fridge and freezer too
