I am waiting on an orange also. Sent them a message they said 20-days two days ago so 18-days now who’s counting
later
Thanks for the replies. I am wondering if perhaps they were mistakenly listed for sale prematurely as it is my understanding is that no one from the posts about orange LT-1s has seemed to actually have made it through the process to receiving one.
That would be great, here’s to hoping 2 days is the magic number
Here’s the thread about the colored versions:
It would help others if the discussion about colored versions of the LT1 would be all in the dedicated thread :+1:
Thanks, angerdan, I forgot about the color thread. I’ll post there as well. I had noticed there were posts over here where people had attempted to order some and had failed. This thread is a beast.
Streamtronics has made a fantastic improvement to anduril 2 which allows for tint ramping at the lowest mode and he says it has the ability to make the dimmest mode even lower which I’m most excited about.
I was surprised that I was the first person who has tested out his version of anduril 2 and so far it has been terrific!
looks awesome, put me down for one. Came here for the fist time just for this!

Do you know which screws (with which dimensions) to buy and that would fit the BLT L1 screw holes ? I ordered these ones (flavor “LS047” / screw 4.5mm + additional height 3mm), and sadly they don’t fit well (and not in the same way between hole on the side versus at the bottom = it goes deeper on the side) (and i haven’t been able to find models without the “gap” in the middle).
Hi SR-G Just use a rubber washer to give you a good fit. Maybe something like a washing machine or dishwasher hose washer or a jumper valve washer. In the olden days, I used one on my camera tripod as the depth of the tripod screw hole varied from camera to camera.
So I’m in. What’s the best place to buy this ?
I have compared my LT1 to my Fenix CL30R and the fenix on turbo mode is quite alot more lumens than the LT1 sadly 
If the LT1 has those extra bridges soldered can it’s higher output stay sustained without overheating/having to step down?
Yes, the LT1 will get hotter and brighter but it will not use thermal step down.
Thanks, so will it get damaged running higher? I usually run it hours straight in up to 30degrees C static environment, Sounds like I best leave it stock.
Also I really wish they would put a 4 led volt meter on top of this, sorry but playing morse code with blinking lights is just unacceptable imo.
Temperature damage is unlikely. The LH351D are tested to 1000hrs at 3A at 85C. At 7*7135, each LH351D is getting less than 800mA at most.
The top might be so hot that it hurts to touch it, but it shouldn’t decrease the lifespan by much.
Even if something does break, the parts are pretty cheap to replace if you can do some soldering.
Hi
Does the Fenix CL30R have a built in volt meter ?
It has 4 led lights that gauge the SoC, not an actual volt meter with numbers. But so easy to use for the average joe.
Thanks
Does anyone know what the waterproof rating is on this? Can it handle rain?
It handles rain no problem. I have used them in the rain many times.
Great to hear, thanks!
I have a question. The LT1 doesn’t seem to be very efficient in its power usage; is that mainly because of extra circuitry to handle the tint mixing, or what?
Say the LT1 on high produces in the neighborhood of 600 lumens, for a bit less than 6 hours. The Q8 with the same 4 18650s can produce 750 lumens for something like 17 hours. The LT1 sucks juice a lot faster.
That’s not to take away from the advantages of a purpose-built lantern for specific uses, especially one that can vary its color temp output. I’m just thinking that when a person is camping, thrifty energy use from whatever cells one has packed can become a factor, too.
