Enjoying this thread and looking forward to seeing how your new creation performs.

Nothin better than canoeing with the family

Welcome to the Forum! :beer:

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 :beer: .

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. :slight_smile:

EDIT: - I managed to fix the formatting in the OP.) -more prototype photos coming soon.

Would be cool to have the option of a flashlight lense for it…so you can convert it to a flashlight and back to a lantern.

yeah a recoil thrower :smiley:
but that big heatsink is kind of making that impossible.

we have tons of flashlights already, the purpose of this project was for a lantern only light.

I was thinking it would be nice for a shtf light to have that…

I’d be in.
