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

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?

I’m not sure what coupon codes might be available for Banggood, but generally Sofirn’s Aliexpress page is the cheapest place.

Is the BLF LT1 designed to be powered by USB-C without the battery cage 24/7? I would like to use it as a nightlight which should run the whole evening/night/morning on 300-400 lumens. Would be a shame if it dies after some weeks/months.

It can run continuously from the USB port (no batteries) from a wall charger or power supply, but i recommend on lower modes only, 150 lumens or less) so it don’t over heat the driver/charging circuits from long tern running.

So I just got back from several days in the woods with 2 LT1s (put to their first test), and they performed so beautifully - the warm glow coming from our rustic cabin made it look like we had electricity and had intentionally created ambiance with lamps! 4 nights and the batteries are still at 3.9v. The true testament is when my wife, completely unprompted, remarked, “those lanterns are amazing - where did you get them? They’re just really well made.” Very well done, everyone!

Banggood have a flash sale, AUD73.07 cheaper than the group buy last year due to FX variation :smiley:

Can’t justify a third :frowning:

:+1: :smiley:

Colors… I want colors

Sofirn said that a new batch of LTs are coming soon in green, orange, and desert tan. In addition 200pcs will have USB-C output functionality (not sure what colors for these).

Sounds nice, can I reserve a desert tan with powerbank function? :laughing:
