Thanks for setting up the poll!

Should simply “BLF Lantern” not be included in this poll, since several people liked that, including me?

Some names have explanations.

Still think we should see if the guy who made the BLF – LT logo could make revisions. That was by far the best one, imo.

You mean this?

Honestly, I didn’t like any of the choices given here, so I chose the least bad one to vote for. Whatever it is, I will prolly still buy it, if I have any money to spend by the time it comes out.

Yeah, thanks for finding it. I was thinking of joechina’s more refined follow-up: http://budgetlightforum.com/comment/1340933#comment-1340933

Changing the style of it a bit to not match the GT’s so closely, but keep the minimalist design is what I’d vote for. But yeah, like above, at the end of the day I’d still buy it. haha

There was another mentioned in a private chat, it was “ BLF-SARlantern “ .

That looks great! I voted BLF Lantern, that graphic looks perfect

Ya think there's enough choices?

lol, I think all of the names that got 1 vote were by the person that coined the name… Me included.

BLFCamplite, simple.

Looks like BLF-Lantern is the popular vote.

Is there a set time for the vote/poll to end?

Mark it on your calendar.  

22 votes for BLF Lantern!? Come on guys how about a little imagination! How boring!

This poll has … 58 choices? Is that right?

I don’t think I would even attempt a poll like this in a “vote for one” system. The math just doesn’t work out. But this sort of poll is perfect for approval voting (vote for one or more).

FWIW
I know yall never listen to me and I thought about not posting at all but I just cant help it.
The way I see it is this was DBSAR’s baby and although someone can and should appreciate suggestions when naming a “child” It is still the parent that has the final word. Jeeez, look at all the suggestions…… Surely DBSAR has a favorite?
I think he ought to have the honor of choosing a name for it.
Okay……. I said it.

I wouldn’t mind if he chose the name. I get the feeling he doesn’t want to though. But if he did, I’d be all for it.

I do understand your thoughts on that.
I never really looked into the name and what would be good for it. I did like the BLF-LT with the logo one & Lantern symbol and border similar to the GT, but because the GT was built by Lumintop Barry mentioned it was awkward for the factory to use that logo because of its similarity to the one on a light built by a different factory. Neal contacted me recently asking about if we had a factory & engineers working on the lantern, project, as he expressed interest in this new project and having Lumintop’s factory take on the project, but we had already handed the project production to Barry and the factory that build Sofirn’s lights. (with Thorfire)
As for other alternate names for the lantern, I thought of others like: BLF-Lantern with the lantern logo either before or after the name string, but i still agree with some that “ BLF Lantern is very generic, and needs some kind of model designation. I also liked the one another suggested: “BLF-SARlantern” , or “BLF-ULT” as another name, ( ULT meaning UltimateLantern.)

so in reality the top favorite names i like in row of fave to last (excluding BLF-LT) is:

- BLF SARlantern
- BLF-ULT
- BLF-Lantern (logo)
-?
-?
-?

Here is a rendering of a logo engraving i thought of recently, what is your thoughts?

so let it be written
so let it be done

Here is an edited version of the logo idea:

How about “George”, so it’ll be less confusing to all my other lights?
