I would love to have one with Red leds!

Any update on the prototypes shows a few pages back?

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! :wink:

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…

Interested!

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.

Saw this in aliexpress via Lumeniac’s post. Is this different from the LT1 Mini? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003601508703.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_allProduct.8148356.3.2ced3bb4oBjVy8

Good question.

Yes, the design is different!

Yeah the design was obvious but the specs does say 1x21700 though I can’t figure out where the 21700 goes. Oh well more lantern choices I guess.

It is too short to be the same. Also if you look at the 4th image on AE there appears to be a usb port and the switch button located in the upper surface. The description mentions 21700 battery. I believe there might be one cell placedflat, or horizontal in a very short base section that a modified LT1 head is fastened to
Very interesting

lightened up the mid-range of the image

Looks like a LT1 without the body.

Reminds me of the Zanflare T1 and similar lanterns. Battery and internals are all inside in the center. Very interesting.
