If it’s really for camping and backpacking, why no red LED’s? White light attracts bugs, red doesn’t. If this had fairly warm white light and red, I’d be all over this. The LT1 is a great lantern, but can’t have it near the camp kitchen or we get swarmed with bugs. A red light to see where you’re going, and a campfire is the ticket.

A red LED is planned for next version.

That would be awesome. Would be nice if Sofirn would offer the same in a LT1 as well

Sofirn needs to do some redesign work and mentioned end of November to have the prototypes done.

For the planned possible LT2 larger (four 21700) Deluxe model a third Red light channel is planned.
Marvelous - here I am, happily thinking “all finished, once these 5 LT1Ms are manufacturered/delivered and that DM11” and someone casually mentions an LT2 and a third channel!

What about just using a red filter? Fashion a canted filter to match the slope of the LT1 translucent lens, then put on the inside…

If bugs are the only reason, amber is a much better choice than red since bugs that are attracted to like are attracted to the blue/violet/UV end of the spectrum.
As far as red and “night vision”, well that’s a whole ’nother debate/can of worms I’d rather not have opened in this thread lol.
