Hi all, I’ve not been in for a while so bear with me. Is the GB closed now? I’ve searched back several pages, and done a lot of google search on the lantern. Best price I can see here in the U.K. is ridiculous £79, which is $99 usd!
Does anyone have any pointers to a better deal for a U.K. member?
And while I’m on, all the best wishes to everyone in these times.
Many thanks to you. I had been on the Sofirn site and tried to add to cart and the system didn’t allow me to change the shipping country to UK. Your link worked a charm, and I have a kit on order. Not that I’m short of 18650s, but the price was so good I thought I might as well.
So I tried to search the thread, but didn’t get anywhere. My LT1 spends a lot of time on my nightstand, because the soft warm glow is fantastic. However, I’ve noticed that even if I haven’t used the LT1 all day, when I turn out the lights the diffuser appears to glow slightly. Has anyone else noticed that (and/or does anyone know why that is)? I have LED bulbs in the room with similar-appearing frosted-plasticky diffusers that don’t exhibit that behavior, even if they’ve been on all day. Is there a tiny bit of GITD powder mixed into the diffuser?
Think we’ve all been indoors too long, I thought the dog was glowing the other night. I’d had a couple of Quarantinis, as in, whatever I can find in the back of the cupboard. Just for info, Southern Comfort and Ribena isn’t too bad.
Seriously, I can’t wait for this lantern, if only for the same use as yours. So much better than an incan bedside lamp.
My guess would be faint white, like old type fluorescent tubes do for a few minutes after switching off. But that’s to do with electrical discharge agitating electrons, something that isn’t in play here. Interesting observation.
So I have the first batch lantern, thinking of flashing it to the new firmware. Any links to the parts needed to do this? Might just order a new version of the c to c is working. Or is the upgradeable too? Edited ,Amazon seems to be much higher on soic 8 test clip with usbisp , Ali is much cheaper but a long wait. A local shop might have them , maybe a tutorial on the possible mods to the lt1 is needed.
