I will be giving this prototype a good field test on our big back country Canoe camping trip coming up next month we do every year in May. I will have beam photos, comparison photos, etc. also LED tint comparisons & feedback from the other campers in our group on the SRK/BLF lantern’s performance compared to others we will have. Once the tests are done i will post up a rough Blueprint drawing of the lantern design with specs that we can discuss to possible improve or alter before a possible production model can be discussed with Kronos
TAKE ME WITH YOU!
A field test! Send pics. Sounds amasing!
I’m interested. Subscribed.
I’m interested. My biggest complaint with most lanterns is the cool tint which is not comfortable on my eyes.
Make sure to include some photos of the canoes Den!
Enjoying this thread and looking forward to seeing how your new creation performs.
Nothin better than canoeing with the family
Welcome to the Forum! 
very true, nearly 95% of all LED lanterns found today from stores have eye-searing glarey blueish cold tints. This lantern project has a nice warm white like an incandescent lamp.
Interested, maybe I’m blind but do we have an idea of price yet?
Were not to that stage yet. (pricing)
Gotcha. Who will manufacturer the lights? Sorry tl;dr
We do not know as of yet, that will depend on who Kronological can work it out with.
Definitely Interested - Awaiting final specs and cost!
Thank You DBSAR for using your MAD MOD Passion and for sharing this exciting idea.
Some outdoor photos will come soon this week of this prototype before its big back-country remote camping trip field-test in May, with feedback from fellow campers, & comparisons to my other best modified lanterns in use.
Then the design specs and blueprint design will be submitted for Krono & others to work on getting a production model rolling.
Photo & basic specifications of the Prototype BLF Lantern in the OP at the top.
Very nice prototype DBSAR! Keep up the good work .
Opps… i think i screwed up the formatting in the OP…. now its just a mess of text & mumbo jumbo. I may need SB in on this to help…
Thanks ri chevy! I could use a few of those with the way life has been going lately. 
EDIT: - I managed to fix the formatting in the OP.) -more prototype photos coming soon.
