I’m in! 
It sounds like it will be another awesome design!
Can you just make a lantern head that would screw onto an existing flashlight body?
You mean something like this? The Yogurt Lantern
Btw. I have work on it in progress with better build quality and magnetically attachable shade. Most of it done, but not published yet.

Do you know there is a subscribe button just for this?
That’s even simpler than what I was thinking…I was thinking of a head with LED’s in it…but your idea seems less involved and more universal.
Yes please! 21700 would be great, not too large but capable of 5000mah.
Sounds great to me!
Sounds like a very good idea.
You need to start a interest list to show how many light someone like Sofrin could sell

In my 18650 lantern mod I used a Philips bulb optic to spread the light coming from the underside. A similar optic could be used for this micro-lantern.
I have always wanted to have a real flashlight similar to the fw3a that was also a very good lantern at the same time, without having to reconfigure it. Like putting leds and a diffuser in the smaller diameter part of the handle that would radiate light either in 180 or 360 degrees depending in what you need at the time. Like for working under the hood of a car, or as area camp lighting.
That way you dont have to carry both a flashlight and a lantern.
I know there are flashlights like this, but not ones that are well done like your lt1 is.
I’m interested in your concept!
I’m so in.
If this is the spot where we opt in for one then I`m in.
Looks like it could work
That one is definitely a good candidate for a LT1 Micro base start point. Though with the tint ramping option that would increase cost like it did with the full-size LT1.
I was thinking of a single tint/single LED micro lantern with a good price point range of between 25 to 35 usd. (though a deluxe model could be designed to use that tint ramp option at a price range of 38 to 45 usd as that IF25 retails for now.
Yes I do. It is more of a show of support to DBSAR
Pick an existing flashlight, make some lamp head that screws on in place of the bezel…viola’!
Or is that stupid?
Just thinking with my “easy” hat on…
Dual purpose…flashlight for looking around, lantern for sitting around…
Fancy is fun, but when I backpack/camp…I only need just ANY light for night chores/going to the bathroom.
In for 2 of whatever it becomes.
I AM 100% IN for at least a few of these after following the LT1 project!
I have been thinking about ideas for a mini/micro as well as the LT2 version, but didn’t bring it up as I didn’t want to distract from the LT1 before it went live. So, I guess, this is the start of the micro!
