*BLF LT1 Lantern Project) (updated Nov,17,2020)

This is a really cool looking lantern!

Sorry if this has been asked before. I have seen the post from ToyKeeper saying there is no commercially available firmware update kit. Is there a guide on what we need to convert and use the D4V2 update kit on the LT1, since the pinout is different?

I had hoped things would standardize on a single layout, but that didn’t happen. :frowning:

Emisar/Noctigon lights use this pinout…

   RS V-
V+ SC MI MO

… and the LT1 (and several other lights) use Lexel’s pinout:

RS V+ V-
SC MI MO

The HQ ProgKey is designed to work with both.

That base stand looks awesome! :+1:

I brought a (thrift store…:laughing: Joby GorillaPod Original Tripod for point and shoot camera,it works perfectly at the base or side screw ,Need to pick some wrist bands to better protection,I agree orange rings always slides out ,every time I pop it out of my LTI case(JBL speaker case)

@Cggzilla +1 your efforts

Nice work, CGGzilla.

I don’t have a 3D printer so I scrounged up a color coordinated bottle cap (Tropicana OJ).

A little trimming of the inside for a nice fit, and to ensure it stays on, drilled a hole and used a nylon flattop bolt.

Here it is ready for travel.

:+1: Cool :beer:

Nice idea and very inventive!

Great idea

That’s great, pc_light! :+1:

Should be as easy fit diameter wise. It looks smaller than the head.
If it doesn’t add too much length, it should be OK while attached to the lamp.
In the top? Depends on how much room the straps take up.
All the Best,
Jeff

Any updates on the accessories? I would love to try out the side reflector (foil covered license plate or something similar) as I found that in most cases, I use the light just from one direction, to read a book for example, so the light shining to the other directions is wasted.

Did the second set of Group Buy codes go out? I don’t recall seeing anything, and I’d like to get the rest of these ordered for holiday gifts.

Also, are we still expecting to see some coloured editions? That is what I was holding out for, hopefully green and or orange.

Are they the 1 litre sized bowls or 350ml?
Cheap here on Aliexpress
Especially if you are a new user and use the new user coupon.

These are the ones I used ebay
Opps… Seems that listing has ended but you can see the sizes. Im sure there are other sellers

Late to the show. Where can I purchase the latest version, and are their colored ones coming? I thought I read some late comments about colors coming, but at the time of this writing, their are over 373 pages I am searching through with limited luck. Thank you and keep up the great work!

Sofirn is probably trying to sell most of their ‘black’ stock before offering colors……JMO

I think it’s about time I invested in one of these. Is BG currently the cheapest place to get one?

@Sofirn or anybody else: Do you know when Version 5.0 will be available again on sofirnlight.com?
