FREEME ✌ LUMINTOP CL2 4*SST20 NW 630lm Type-C Camping Lantern Group Buy - ALIVE!!!

We’re excited to read and see more details :slight_smile:

Interested please

Great! It’d be nice to (1) see some size comps and (2) hear more about the UI. Thansk freeme!

What battery model you guys prefer?

All the specs and UI are 90%+ confirmed. Not ramping, with is preferred. Regulated circuit for all levels.

I have these and like them alot Shockli .
These are not protected however, IDK about onboard charging of un-protected cells.
Would that be an issue?

As far as 14500’s go, I am also a fan of those black Shockli 1000 mAh cells (the same ones that Paul321 linked to). In my opinion, some of the best 14500 there are, and they’re not terribly expensive. There are some cells that are higher drain (Shockli orange, Vapcell H10), but I never really need a 12 amp 14500.

Interested. I’ve been on the fence, but I’m at least interested enough to know pricing. If they end up being really nice and affordable, I could see buying multiple. Do you want a PM freeme?

I’m interested.

Listed price is cheap for 4pcs but shipping is almost the price of the battery? What is the estimated price for 4pcs shipped?

Charger seems to be too powerful. Haha. I forwarded some of my initial findings to them.

  • Fenix 800mA (ARB-L14-800)
  • Nitecore 850mA (NL1485)
  • Keeppower 800mAh
  • Keeppower 1000mAh
  • Keeppower 1100mAh
  • Xtar 800mA

Yeah, a 4 pack is currently like $11 plus $8 shipping (to the US). They’ve been less in the past. Seems like bulk pricing is better, as a an 8 pack is $17 (~$2 per cell) plus shipping. So if a bundle happens, it should be an opportunity for Neal to make some margin on the batteries and save the end customer money… win win.

I experience with protected 14500/16340 from Nitecore and Fenix were unsatisfactory. All went unresponsive after above two years with minimum usage. Especially those with built-in USB port, avoid at all cost.

interested.

Keeppower has protected, unprotected, and button tops in 14500, my choice is whatever would work best with the onboard charging

I am hoping the group deal is a really sweet price. In order to not directly compete with the BLF LT1 you have to be cheaper than the LT1.

Interested.

I think for a lantern, LVP for both 14500 and AA would be important. Hopefully the lantern has proper LVP.
