Not without adding a clock chip to keep accurate time. The timer on these things isn’t very accurate at all. If you give it an 8-hour timer and have it turn on at the end of that time, it’ll generally happen between about 7.5 and 8.5 hours, but that’s about as precise as it gets. And if it tried to track time of day, it’d end up gaining or losing an hour per day, at random.
Hi Everyone! I have been absent lately due to many things, especially the last couple months with packing things, down-sizing, ans selling my house. I have a closing date for Oct 15th, and will be moving east to Newfoundland at that time. After i get moved, re-settled in a new place i will returning to here a lot more to continue the LT1 and LT1 Mini Projects. In the mean time, for the next couple months i will be living off-grid in my 23 foot RV trailer, and will create some new offgrid living experience videos. - Dennis
Newfoundland? Just up the coast a ways... Okay, a long ways. I thought Maine was a trek, but look'n at the map, looks like Maine is 1/4 the way to Newfoundland!
The LT1 is cool, but too cool. You'll need a Q8 with quad XHP50.2's to keep you warm
Good lux for your move to Newfoundland, Dennis! We will be waiting patiently for your return to BLF. Make sure your RV or your new house will always be tied up against those raging ice storms. :-D
Just saw this thread and couldn’t resist. Sofirn just happens to have this onsale, and I have a 10% off coupon. Bingo. Maybe no more gas lanterns for me, too.
don't think I ever received my code for the LT1 but that's fine. Any chance one day to possibly program a LVP shutdown at our own selected voltage? I usually don't like to run my batteries below 3.6V and if the lantern had a feature to allow us to adjust this, would be nice. This way if we had it on at night and fell asleep, we could care less what happens as it drains down.
If you click either of the first two links in my signature, then look at the README file, it has info about getting started. Some of the info in the readme might be a little old though, need to update it, so it may also be helpful to try the steps listed in this post.
