LT1 and LT1 Mini do not have a temperature sensor so they do not have a temperature check mode. They are designed to never get too hot so you do not have to worry about temperature.

Agreed. Of my few complaints with LT1 Mini, that is the largest. Sofirn continues to use different flashing pad layouts on various models rather than standardizing so that we can easily do firmware updates. They even changed the flashing pad layout on LT1 when they released the latest powerbank version.
To know if you’re in simple mode or not, click 3x from off to do a battery check. If it blinks out the voltage once and then turns off, you’re in the Simple UI. If it continues to blink out the voltage until you click to stop it, then it’s in the Advanced UI.
To toggle from Simple to Advanced, click 10x from off and hold the last click.

I made a reflector and wider base for my LT1 Mini that attach magnetically. The base stows on top and only adds 1mm of height. Complete kits for sale here if you’re interested. Thanks to Lixivium for the idea to have the base store on top!
Great lantern. I like it as a flashlight. Hope to see it with a bezel, or IF25 pro / blf version, anduril 2, instant tint shift, xp-l hi 2850/5000 or 519A’s.
Sofirn has updated LT1 Mini’s driver design to use an ATTiny1616 instead of an ATTiny85. Below to the left is a photo of my early-production review sample, and below to the right is a brand new LT1 Mini someone posted in the comments of my review. New lights use the “blf-lantern-t1616” firmware.
Does anyone know a good way to remove these drivers? I’d like to reflash mine using an SOIC clip but I can’t figure out how to remove the driver.
I have the 85 version on the left, not the 1616 version on the right. Unfortunately some users over on Reddit informed me that this driver is difficult to remove and even then it’s hard to get to the MCU, so I’ll probably just solder wires to do the firmware update.
