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

AA compatibility is the only thing I would say. Which certainly has it’s uses.

Maybe that is it, but they have used 3 x aa adapters in flashlights forever, and the adapter could be in series for 4.5 volts, so not have diminished brightness.

Come to think of it, with a wide center positive you could use 3 parallel 14500, 3 series AA in adapter, 1 26650, an 18650 in a tube, and with a little longer spring perhaps even a 21700. All would be 4.5 volts maximum.

Not to try and blow up the thread, but the only reason I use 14500 batteries is to get more power from a tiny light, but 4x14500 batteries delivers less current than a single 26650, so I am struggling to figure a good reason to have to deal with 4 batteries.

Yeah. That’s why there was no 4x14500 version of the LT1. It just didn’t make sense. Pretty much the only practical reason to do that form factor is for AA cells.

If AA isn’t necessary, it usually makes more sense to go with a single 18650, 26650, or 21700 cell. More power in less space, cheaper, and easier to charge. Add a diffuser cap to a 26650 light, and it makes a nice compact lantern.

Listing up at Neal’s: LUMINTOP CL2 4x SST20 650LM Lantern Campling Light – Nealsgadgets

$59.95 retail price, 84.95 with 4 H10 batteries. No charging for nimh.

Press and hold for off. Boo.

Moonlight is 2 lumens. Boo.

High with AAs is 50 lumens? That seems low.

-edit Couldn’t see it on mobile, but there is a turbo of 90 lumens for AA. Still seems low and weird spacing, but better.

WOW! Such a unique design :D

Youtube review this weekend.

Ordered via code in GB PM - thanks! Definitely looking forward to a small, simple lantern. And a place to store use a few of my many NiMH AA’s…

Ordered, was one of the first 30. thanks!

Interested for the GB!

Same thing happened for THOR II. Probably reserved for something bigger or smaller in size.
