Just to be clear, he lives in Belarus and the updates say he was arrested for speaking out about a member of Lukashenka’s regime online, so he’s currently a political prisoner like many people in that country. The latest update is his mailing address at the prison where he’s being held, so it doesn’t seem like he expects to be released any time soon.
So sad - we take so much of our freedoms for granted.
Hey y’all, I’ve been busy and haven’t been following this closely but it doesn’t look good for this project.
I looks like our friend LampMan won’t be following through with the boards. His website http://sunlikelamp.com/ is now down. I don’t understand what he is saying in audio recordings on telegram but I don’t think he is doing very well.
I wish him the best as it looks like he is in some pretty severe trouble. I don’t think there’s anything we can do for him in Belarus.
I am sorry to all those who paid, it looks like we won’t be getting our boards and if you paid at the start like me, it is probably too late for a payment dispute.
I’ll see what I can do to make it up to you. Does anyone know where we can get sunlike LEDs or similar, very high cri 3v ones, for a low price? I’m really busy now but I am willing to draw up a pcb in the future when I have more time, and jlcpcb offers cheap aluminum boards so we could get them manufactured easily.
Lampman’s problems are way worse (looks like he is jailed by the Belarus government for having an opinion 
) than the few dollars that I lost, I’m ok with loosing the money, and I can only hope for Lampman’s situation to change for the better. 
I am not concerned about losing the money I sent for a board. It is very concerning that a person can end up in jail for having am opinion that some government does not agree with. All my best wishes to Lampman.
Can only wish the best for Lampman, the lost money on the order is not worth considering compared to his wellbeing.
Someone is updating Lampman's telegram channel (his father?): https://t.me/sunlikenews
Hope he can be free from jail soon. And hope he learns the lesson and takes care too.
Hello, everyone! I received pcbs (photo in my telegram)
I was in prison of North Belarus (absolutely illegal)
I lost all my tools and almost all parts (I have only spectrometer and white leds and some bulbs bodies)
Thank everyone! But I still not with my son (he was deport to Ukraine like orphaned)
I am very happy to see you have been released and very saddened and angry to hear about your son. I am not concerned about the monies I sent you for board and led’s. Take care.
Welcome back! We were worried about you. I hope you are with your son again very soon.
WB, SunLike!
I hope that you don't go back to prison, and I hope that you and your son will be doing better soon.
Glad to see you back! I hope that things go better with your son too.
So glad to hear you got out, I hope you can be with your son again soon!
Glad to have you back, wish your family good luck.
It appears that Sunlike has his family back with him and all are in Ukraine.
Amen. Glad to hear this.
Let’s hope that Ukraine stays a safe place to be
Yes, lampman may be out of the frying pan but is still may be too close to the fire.
Hello, peoples of the flat earth! =)
I am in Norway with my son sience 01.02.2022, before war started (I think it is just start of the WW3 with nuclear weapon). Actually I expected that war will start 02.02.2022, but it was started 22-24.02.2022
About this project (SUNLIKE LT1 board)
I had pcbs, it is on the way from Belarus to Norway.
I have a lot of leds, and spectrometer. But I have no soldering table and paste, it is expensive for me here NOK2,349.00~250€
Almost all another tools and parts was thefted or losted. And BLF LT1 flashlight too
Here in Norway I can restart my lamps business, but I do not want, it is not rational here. Here is 20€ per hour (before taxes) for easy job. Specialists takes 50-60€. Yes, I can use slaves work in China or even here, I am in the prisoners cump, but they talking that it is asylmottak, but I know the truth =) I can use unlegan workers with 5€ per hour with cash payment. If go by legal way, it is so much burocracy in this country… It is too slowly everything.
So sorry to peoples who ordered something from me, it is about 5000-6000$ not finalised orders. But I lost about 15000$ and 6 month without job with this unlegal placing to North Belarusian prison… Also I lost my home and my father (he still there). My son was 100 days in psyatry hospital alone, it was like a prison, may be worse.
Some time I will restart this business, but may be no.
I understand completely. The war is not, was not, your fault. Unfortunately, losses happen. I can live with it. I hope you manage to carry on with whatever you do. Stay well, stay safe.
