BLF LT1M - LT1 Mini (link to project)

Not likely for the micro due to trying to keep costs down, and its small size, but for the future LT2 Deluxe definitely yes.

Hi DBSAR

Interested

Thanks

Interested!

I would love an LT2 with 50% more output and a powerbank feature.

Will there be a nano version, with 1x 10180 ?

Interested

That’s a pity. Most mountaineering gear is expensive, so a good light weight and versatile lantern should be worth the investment.
I don’t see myself charging a camplight while mountaineering. You could simply use a micro usb rechargeable cell if you would like that.
However being flexible with your available energy and charge your GPS from a lantern seems nice. It would cancel the need of a powerbank and save that extra weight. Since every gram counts, I guess I would opt for a silicone diffuser instead.

However the LT1 is very nice, so I will subscribe to this thread regardless.

I wonder what great light you come up with this time :+1:

it will depend on the manufacturer & cost. We may explore the option and see what will make it possible, and what the retail cost will be.

That would be great. Very interested if it would come with powerbank feature.

Interested. Great for lightweight hiking

Interested for this one

Also interested in this !

Interested in a couple units for sure. Great ideas being kicked around the thread, keep up the good work all!

Update,01,28,2020)
Sofirm sent a couple host lights to work on designing a BLF LT1 Mini project from, one was a SP33, and the other was the IF25. after picking both apart, studying ideas, on boht of the lights, i came to the conclusion the IF25 is a great start host, as it already has tint-ramping, USB-C charging, and single 21700 or 18650 format size. I am currently designing & testing many head diffusers & shades ideas, and working to keep this smaller LT1 as the upfiring factory design, but with a very unique head i designed & am testing. stay tuned for the upcoming video of the birth of the LT1M, the more pocketable, hiker & backpack friendly compact Mini LT1 :smiley:

  • Teaser photo below of the V1 prototype of the LT1M. I hope we can keep the price point of this smaller variant low like the MSRP of the original IF25 it is based from, and will have tint ramping, USB-C charging, and use the same Andruil firmware if we can shoe-horn Toykeeper’s amazing firmware of the LT1 into the Mini.

Interested in two.

Looks awesome!

A 21700 version would be awesome!
Love the LT1, would definitely be in for at least 1 of these even if it’s 18650.

Will they have the same nice LED’s or start from scratch?

The plan is to use the same High-CRI LH351 series 2700K to 5000K LEDs as used in the full size LT1.

Nice :+1:
Did I say I’m in?
Well I’m in for two.
