Count me in please.

Hehe, good one. I appreciate the loquacious sobriety.

Definitely interestedā€¦

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 Iā€™d definitely like to know more.

In for 1 :sunglasses:

Like most other people, Iā€™m definitely interested in it and am curious to see how itā€™ll turn out.

I'm in.

If this thread is going to morph into an official group buy interest thread then, please, let me go ahead and put my name down. Iā€™m very much looking forward to seeing your design for this. :+1:

If this is an interest list than INTERESTED!

While weā€™re not taking names yet for a GB list, it is to see if there is interest in a micro-LT1 for those wanting similar features, quality, and purpose design in a much smaller lantern for backpacking, canoeing, kayak camping, or any need where space is limited and size & weight are critical. While it will have less output and less run times than the full size LT1, it will still be far better than any other mini/micro lantern of the size range available on the market.

Interested

Definetely interested :), waiting for 2 LT1 now, one for parentā€™s xmas gift.

Would be nice as a work light for small spaces as well. Attach to the underside of the car hood to illuminate the engine bay. Stand it in a corner in the under-sink cabinet while you work on the plumbing. Or even hang it in the closet that doesnā€™t have a light already, when youā€™re looking for something to wear and itā€™s dark. Also great for night time trips to the toilet or to get a snack from the kitchen without turning on bright house lights.

DavidEF, I like your thinking. A high powered magnet at the base might be nice for those vehicle and plumbing repairs. :+1:

If weā€™re gauging interest, count me in as well. Make sure to update us when a GB list starts!

LT1 needs a little broā€™. Iā€™m in.

Iā€™ve got $5 on it. :smiley: :+1:

Interested in a few of these. I think a micro is supposed to be 14500 though. Mini is 18650/21700

Interested in three when available!!!

No-no. No 14500 powered things. I have a few 14500 powered ā€œregularā€ flashlights and while I like the physical size, I do like the limited capacity of that size cell. I guess we all have features that are most inportant to ourselves.

Myself, I would want nothing less than an 18650. Someone mentioned a little ways back that they would like an 18650 light as they backpack and would swap a cell between this new compact lantern and their headlight. I can see the advantage to that, as much as I also like the idea of using a 21700 cell for the new compact lantern.

I am not certain I would buy either an 18650 or a 21700 powered small lantern though. Thatā€™s my practical side showing through and overpowering my ā€œWow! Cool! I love that and want oneā€ not so practical side. I must admit to also thinking about what I might cobble together myself. :person_facepalming:
