right on. you are very thorough on your design methods. something i really respect, and appreciate.
this light is going to touch a lot of lives in a much needed way sir. well done.

on top of the standard functions, the ‘nice to haves’ such as candle mode, and sunset are welcome indeed.
thanks Toykeeper!

I’d like a code to purchase this…would be perfect for camping!

The group buy is over.

If you want the same discount as the group buy — Sofirn is making this possible on their web site … Selling the BLF LT1 for 49.99. As the web site states — This is for a very limited time … So If you want one — Here’s where to order:

ordered mine last sunday the 12th from amazon, it shipped monday (china time)
hoping it will be the usual week in customs, flown, week in customs then to my door.

one question… what the hell is this thing? lol

an extra button not shown to scale?

Yes. It’s an extra button

Spare button cap :smiley:

ah, thanks folks. :beer:

The BLF LT1 is safe to charge with my Ipad’s 2.4 amp, 12W power adapter right? I also have a couple of Anker Powerport PD2 wall chargers, will they be also fine to use with my blf lantern?

I ordered on 3/23 with special note in the order comments requesting the latest firmware. Light arrived in good condition on 4/17.
It does have the 5.0 driver but firmware is 2019/11/29. If latest firmware is deal breaker for you you might want to wait till the 4th batch.
C to C is not a deal breaker for me but I hope to test in in the next day or two.

I do not have the programming key for the exposed pads. If the wires are long enough I will try to re-program with the chip clip but i will not de-solder anything to do it.

This was a huge boon to me I used the spare button on a C8F with a mtn lighted switch it was exactly what the doctor ordered to make my adaptation perfect.

I am new to BLF. Can I get in on this lantern?
Looks like I can buy it on Amazon. Is there a BLF discount code?

Read Post 10939.

Yes, any of those chargers should work fine charging the LT1.

Were firmware changes since then a big deal on the LT1?

I haven’t kept super close track but I think 11/29 might be the latest. That’s what I have in my lantern. The only noticeable changes are SOS, and I think improved button press stability.

Is there an easy way to check the version? I thought TK was going to write that into Anduril at some point, but I dont remember if it ever happened.

not sure. I thought it might be in there already, but I tried several click variations up to 12 and didn’t find it.

Wait, I did a quick search and found this” Anduril firmware's "version check" and "safety lockout" feature (Sept 2019 onwards) - YouTube

15 clicks from off.

verified my fw reports 2019 11 29

There have been two since 11/29. I dont know what the changes are but I suspect one of them enables C to C charging. The wires were long enough and I flipped over my driver my driver to flash 2020-03-18.
Took all of 5 minutes but it was a little off putting when Sofirn comes in here and states you only have to ask for the latest and when you ask you still dont get it.

But its more than that I have not had Sofirn get a single order right all year.
I ordered a SP10s w/batt and charger, did not get the batt and charger.
I ordered Q8 Anduril I received the older style Q8 with the flats on the body and Narsil UI.
Do they even bother to do more than glance at the orders?
I do appreciate the great lights at great prices, that’s why I keep giving them my money but for gods sake will it cost them money to get it right?

I’m not 100% sure, but I doubt any fw update will change the way the light charges I don’t believe any pin on the controller interfaces with the charger chip. I’ll happily accept correction on this opinion.

we are late march now… where is the 3rd batch :disguised_face:
