None of which have anything to do with the mistake in the USB-C implementation. No one is complaining that it doesn’t charge at 3A. They’re complaining that it doesn’t charge.
Any have an estimate runtime on the default step brightness for 3rd, 4th, and 5th (brightest) mode on 4 tested 3000MaH batteries? I just want to get a rough idea.
There was no mistake
So it doesn’t charge with many USB-C chargers that are compliant to the USB-C spec by design?
You guys should just stop digging… :person_facepalming:
That was not a consideration.
The same to you
So why are they fixing it then since it’s intentionally defective by design?
You really should stop speaking for the LT1 team. It’s embarrassing.
And you should stop making up your own history
Projection is real folks!
BLF Rule #4
Please avoid fighting. If you or somebody else is losing their calm, please drop the subject.
I don’t see it as a ‘fix’, more like an upgrade. In the same way that a USB-C connector is a definite upgrade from its nasty predecessor.

The nice thing about standards is that you have so many to choose from.
Lantern working perfectly for me. Love the usb a to c charging capability! I have so many usb a chargers to choose from. So many I am going to buy a second lt1 when I get my code so I can put two chargers (type a female) to use at same time!
sorry i should have said i use this, my car is 1 year old but they only stuck in a load of type-a connectors:
So on a normal day i only carry a type-c to type-c and my type-c power bank in my pocket but if i owned this lantern i would carry another cable as well with a fat end type-c to small end.
I dont think the people complaining are doing it to hurt anyone’s feelings or wind people up i just think they want a BLF light to be the absolute best which is what i would expect of a BLF project, i would also like to thank DBSAR for bringing this exciting light to fruition. I think if anyone has an older one without the fix then they could just attach a converter to the side with an elastic band, i wouldn’t lose any sleep over that.
This is where it goes wrong, BLF projects will never be the absolute best, we are amateurs, we are budget, and we work with B-class manufacturers, how can one expect that the outcome is the absolute best? BLF-teams are struggling to get our novel flashlights to be ok quality for a budget price, more is an illusion. And we got some very special flashlights done which is an achievement.
Who is planning to carry the LT1 with them daily (in a backpack maybe?), and use it enough to need daily charging? I thought this thing was good for something like 4ish hours/day for over a week with lots of useable light?
Some people car or truck camp. Easy to carry stuff.
My Sons will b going to Burning Man 2020
He has a van so this will be a big help.
Also getting him a Solar Charger.
This might be the most convoluted attempt at trying to explain away a technical oversight, aka mistake, I’ve ever seen. The LT1 team shouldn’t have put a USB-C connector on the LT1 if the team didn’t intend follow the spec for USB-C. The LT1 team made a non-compliant USB-C device. No amount of hand waving or spin is going to change that. When using a USB-C port you have to follow the spec for USB-C. It requires the use of the CC pins in a UFP to indicate to the DFP how much current it can draw. This means putting pull-down resistors on them. They are required by the USB-C spec (which has to be followed when implementing a USB-C port), even if it’s just a 500mA device. Leaving the CC pins open is not allowed.
Sounds serious,
Call Judge Judy.
Can you PM me her number?
