Just came in. It fits well with enough room for a single 2x battery case and zips up pretty much like you see in the Youtube video. I would have been fine with this case and ordered a 2nd one, but you just had to mention camera lens cases. I hadn't thought of that, great idea. I just ordered this set: Tycka Lens Pouches
I'll use the smallest one for just a LT1s and another for my 2nd LT1s + battery cases. I have 1/8 and 1/4 inch sheets of neoprene foam rubber to use for a snug fit on the larger cases. I'll be left with matching cases to use for all my lantern and flashlight accessories.
I got one of these
It is OK, maybe a bit small. I had to take the bottom pad out because it was turning the light on when I zipped it up. Without it, the LT1S fits snug but OK. Still plenty of padding on the sides and the top. It is mainly for storing it in a drawer or packed in a duffle for car camping. So it should be fine. Though, if I would do it again, I would buy the next size bigger.
Definitely no room for batteries….
I am using hard case dedicated for bluetooth speaker Sony SRS-XB10 which has the same dimensions. There is no free space for battery and cable, but I do not mind it since I use extra organizer for these.
I think the ID would be too small for the LT1S, but I don’t find the dimensions in any listings. The ones I have had in the past (I don’t seem to be able to find any now) would have been too tight.
Get to a local music store and have a small flight case made, like the ones used for microphones.
Other than that, a case from www.peli.com for expedition or the like.
The custom case would be intersting, but likely more expensive and too bulky for my needs…
I have cases for most of the gear that I consider to be important. Cameras, telescopes, guns, many knives… even my toothbrush.
Mine will be stored in a drawer with a bunch of other lights about 80% of the time. No reason to get it beat up unnecessarily.
When going to and from camping trips, it will be in the trunk with lots of other gear… again, a case will keep it from getting potentially damaged. I want it to work when I need it.
Spare batteries in the same place at the same time, without having to remember to grab anything else is a bonus.
You know, different strokes. If one never moves it from a safe shelf unless there is a power outage… probably no need for a case.
So, yeah, really !!
For scratch-protecting things in a backpack, I use socks or other pieces of clothing, towels, bags, things that are there anyway.
A flashlight or a lantern is a tool that must get patina with action.
Hehe, when i look at my Petromax, with all its dents and kinks, a Petromaniac would instantly become pale-haired.
Every one of these blemishes could tell stories of the expeditions it has been used at. Now it sits retired as a decoration, cleaned and polished in the studio. Damn LEDs… I miss the smell. And yeah, it has a box it came with, with layers of stickers on it now, but it could not prevent things from happening.
The medium case has a LT1s sitting on top of 2 battery boxes. The diameter is a little big so I cut 2 strips of neoprene foam rubber. The small case is a perfect fit for a LT1s. I used the large case for my lantern and flashlight accessories. I'll find a use for the extra large case sooner or later.
Hmmmm, I don't know what happened. Was working, now it's not. I reinserted the picture and added a link to the photo in case the picture stops working again. Is that working for you?
I found this case for the Sony SRS XB-13 bluetooth speaker that fits perfectly well with the LT1S. It has a space below too that fits the included cable very well
I took a gamble on a Sony SRS-XB10 case from AliExpress.
While it isn’t perfect (no separate compartment for the cable), the fit was good and it was really cheap!
