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

sounds like a winner :beer:

Thanks, I am glad I came for a look.

Just bought 4. I was waiting for orange. That’s Xmas presents myself and men in the family taken care of.

Darn, just missed that.

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.)

I bought an orange one yesterday. Aliexpress just messaged me to say they only have black. Hopefully you guys have better luck…

Nope, I got the same message, requested cancellation of order

orangasm interruptus :smiling_imp:

Bummer. That would be disappointing.

At this time… Only 5 left

.

It showed the same when I ordered Orange, but they messaged me after that they only have black in stock. Looks to be an error in the listing-

Looks like a way to try to sell black ones to me . . . :person_facepalming:

Just received this reflector from a gentleman on reddit. I think it’s gonna be awesome!!

All due respect, but it looks like a solution to a non-problem

I think I’ve experimented with reflection behind my LT1 and haven’t noticed a big difference in the illumination in the area where the reflected light would go. What’s your experience with this device? Too bad he didn’t do a better job applying the reflective tape.

The tape doesn’t bother me at all and doesn’t noticeably change anything, but i can always change it out if needed at some point.

I use my LT1 a lot for night time reading and from what I can see, it allows me to use a lower output than normal, and prevents “wasted light.”

Honestly (and it’s still daytime here so I haven’t been able to thoroughly test), it seems way more efficient to use, if I don’t need 360 degree light.

I like the idea, do you mind asking how much it cost?

I bought a “blemished” version for $5 + shipping, so maybe $15 all in.

He is selling black for $25 shipped and glow-in-the-dark for $30 shipped.

Looks like a good way to walk around using the LT1 as an area light as well. Anyone that has ever watched a movie where they hold a 360 degree lantern up to see better should understand the fallacy of this, it puts as much light back in your face as you are getting from elevating the light… :person_facepalming:

I have it, good job bro! :sunglasses:

Disappointed. Just got a message saying they cannot supply the orange lanterns.
The wait continues.
