I could totally get onboard with that, thanks.
Does Sofirn have any plans to sell the lens and ledboard individually?
Just got one of the JBL speaker cases from Amazon to pack my LT1 in. $10.
Fits along with the cable and a USB power adapter. It’s a little loose at the bottom of the lantern end. I might add a piece of foam eventually.

Now I wait for a RED one.

Oh, I like that. Mine’s been riding around in my backpack unprotected, and I don’t really like it. That speaker case looks absolutely perfect.
The case I got from Sofirn in the kit is also made for the JBL speaker, but interior isn’t as nice with the bubbled padding. Cables and extra washers fit with the same dividers. Added some extra foam over the cloth lining.$5.00 if bought with the kit.
Does anyone know if the Amazon Canada LT1 is the latest 5.0 Version?
RobertB:Red XP-E2’s. The red is nice for a “Camping Lantern”, to not attract bugs.
We’ve been looking into the feasibility of adding a third power channel for red, in addition to the warm white and cool white LEDs. It sounds like it’s relatively straightforward to do in terms of the driver and the firmware. If it happens, I’d implement it as an extension to the tint ramp, or perhaps a red/white toggle… so it would still work in every UI mode, and would simply be a different “tint”. Like, if you ramp all the way to the warm end of the ramp and keep holding the button long enough, it would go into red mode.
If this happens, can it please use “photo red” (670nm) or even “cherry red” (700nm) deep red LED wavelengths?
Just got my Zebralight H502pr the other day and the 670nm makes such a difference over the usual orangey hue (630nm) of most ‘red’ LEDs.
I mean, it’s ideal for avoiding insects while out camping, but it’s also beautiful!

Just bought a red one from Amazon UK. Available in black and blue as well for £7.99.
What a great find, perfect fit, could have been made for the lantern and has room for cable storage at the end.
Is there any ETA for a shade for this light?
Here are some shades I made from ‘collapsible, silicone dog bowls’ for my LT1 and Zanflare T1 lanterns. The bowls were originally only $2/ea on eBay last year but I think they might be a little more now. They work great and I cant imagine my lanterns without them.
Great idea! I got a red/yellow/white/black set for $10
I would be sort of surprised if Sofirn is still doing codes, its been 8 months since the lantern came out. But if you get one, let us know as I’ve got a 2 or 3 code entries I’ve not used yet.
Yeah, I was not confident, I’d like a tan or orange version. I waited to buy both for the chance at colors and to give others the ability to get theirs.
The response I got was (paraphrased): “We are selling them direct from our website, we have new old stock with the USB-C known issue that you can buy for $48, or with batteries for $57.”
I went ahead and ordered a couple. One is already spoken for by a neighbor who wanted hurricane prep lights and came to me for advice. Deity knows when they will come in.

What is the usb-c issue?
The original version can only charge via a USB-A to USB-C cord.
A USB-C to USB-C will not charge on the original version as the required resistors were not included.
Not a deal breaker IMO.
Good to know. I have the original version,usb a to usb c suits me just fine.

There are already 5 versions of the LT1?

No, just 2. The driver circuit went through a few revisions before release, and then had one update after release.

Along these lines anyone found a good base for these yet? The base doesn’t have rubber and can easily get scratched when camping. Wonder if there is a foldable base like this collapsible shade. Looks great BTW.
