BLF LT1M - LT1 Mini (link to project)

With 21700 we could achieve bit narrower profile. The final shape is very important at least for me, I would greatly like something similar to the recent Nitecore Campbank lantern, which is more or less flat and can be easily worn even in pocket.

The Nitefox UW360 has that, a flat disc that lets the critter stick to it to stand upright on nonmagnetic surfaces.

Very interested! Thanks

That is the plan :+1:

Very interested, I also think 21700 would be preferable. In regards weight what is the current target if there is one? The reason i ask is that when wild camping weight is a key issue, i dont get to just take things out a car and walk 5 feet in a campsite.
Thank you DBSAR for all of your lantern work recently im looking forward to this one.

Actually, Shockli’s 5500mAh 26650 cell delivers fantastic currents and also tends to test at or above capacity rating. Someone else sells it too, I forget who. To me it’s the best compromise cell, like a 30E. A 40T will get you higher drains but to me I’ll take the 1.7 extra amp hours.

This light will not require a high drain cell.

Exactly. Are there 21700s over 5000mAh like there are for 26650?

26650 is to heavy for backpacking. Even 18650 is considered to heavy for some of us. But pared with a 18650 headlight I might consider taking a lantern that runs on 18650 as I only need to take one type cell with me. There’s no need for long runtimes or high output an 18650 is more than adequate if you really want to design it with backpackers in mind. Also size matters while backpacking, make it as small as possible. No need for usb charging (how the hell you gonna charge it in the forest?) but could be useful.

I smell another 10,000 post thread in progress (with less than 20 posts worth reading) :stuck_out_tongue:

Count me in!

Might as well also start thinking about the LT1-Maxi with 100 emitters and 20 x 18650 capacity. :+1:

And please maintain your health, that last one took its toll!

I’m in!
Would be great if base would be FW3A with 18650 battery

Ok, ok. Put me on the list. sigh

:smiley:

Count me in please.

Hehe, good one. I appreciate the loquacious sobriety.

Definitely interested…

Interested in this. If a suitable host can be found, I will gladly contribute a few dollars to get one sent to DBSAR for prototyping.

Interested. There are too few details to tell for sure and I’d definitely like to know more.

In for 1 :sunglasses:

Like most other people, I’m definitely interested in it and am curious to see how it’ll turn out.

I'm in.
