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.
Just a heads up. I was changing the batteries instead of charging. After opening the light several times the junction between light and tube got dirty and the light developed a flicker and surging. I cleaned it and put nygel on threads. Seems to work ok now.
Would that dielectric spark plug grease be a better choice to keep bare aluminum from oxidizing?
hmm, don’t know anything about spark plug grease, but I do know the aluminum will oxidize over time. But my experience is its typically months, not weeks. Generally a simple wipe with a napkin, handkerchief, etc cleans that off.
Found some no-oxidation grease at home depot

Pretty sure there’s still time. I just bought an orange one today off aliexpress and (who knows how accurate it is) the stock count said there were a few more available. (Allegedly getting to me by 11/15/2020.)
