Count me in as seriously interested depending on final features and configuration but, it certainly looks good to me at this point.

Thank you so much for the welcome and adding my request to the waiting list.

I just got here, have some interest, looked at OP and last couple pages but can’t really tell the current design phase or the goals. Is it too late to ask for specific features? 1) include a timing crystal on the board, so that the light can accurately turn itself on at a particular time; 2) include some kind of external connection. A computer port might be too fancy but a simple pair of contacts that are in parallel with the pushbutton switch would allow operating the light remotely and this would be a win, both from being able to use the lantern as a room light and for configurating Anduril from a computer.

There is at least 1 other thread asking for lights that turn on at sunrise, so multiple people definitely want a timing feature, the crystal is maybe a 5 cent part, and unlike a flashlight I hope the lantern is not terribly cramped for PCB space. So I support including it.

Has the CPU been chosen and what will it be? Will the lantern have enough heat sinking / radiators to be able to run long periods at 1000+ lumens without getting too warm? (A lantern should do that, it is not a flashlight after all). Will it be able to run on external power instead of battery power? Maybe at this point it becomes a lamp instead of a lantern, but I haven’t been able to find any programmable lamps with high CRI. Thanks!

Interested in 1! Just got the big brother LT1 and it’s the first lantern I’ve ever seen that actually lights without blinding. Amazing through and through. I’m excited for this mini version!

Definitely interested!

Put me down for 5, please (I have nieces and nephews who like my LT1 and would get a kick out of owning a mini version!)

Ive resisted long enough, with a clear conscience I can say, put me down for 1 please.

Please add me to the list for quantity (FOUR) lights. Every BLF light I’ve purchased has been a smashing success and I’m sure this project will be no different.

interested ty for all the wk making this

I’ve long admired the BLF LT1 as I watched it unfold starting 4 years ago. I hesitated to buy when the 1st version went live, as my lightning needs really didn’t urgently call for it (I use Matt Smith’s ice cream plastic tub solution). I also wanted to wait for the USB-C to USB-C version. Then as that was coming out, the power bank version was soon to follow, so I waited. And then, the changing of driver boards started to happen. So after all that wait, I decided to go with a v1 LT1. I was OK with getting Anduril v1. Yet, as luck would have it, I managed to get a USB-C to USB-C version that also has Anduril v2. My impressions of this light are very high. I missed the summertime use, but wow… the LT1 is such a wonderful design. I like everything about it.

TLDR; sign me up for the LT1M!
