Just get a flashlight with compatible diffuser, so you can add/remove the diffuser as required. I do this with Convoy S2+, BLF Q8, and Acebeam E70.
Thank you, I already have such solution, I just do not want to keep that extra piece so I am looking for something integrated. But it seems that nothing similar to LR12 exists so I will probably buy something like E05C.

Thank you, this is pretty much the system I am being looking for, unfortunately these flashlights have some quality issues but probably I will try, still thank you for sharing.
There are a few of the same style light from EagleTac (EagTac) like this one from their P-series. I wasn't really sure how well they would work as a lantern, but the 180° setting shown near the bottom of the page looks like it would function fine as a dual-personality flashlight. It's an option!? Plus EagleTac is top-tier manufacturer.

Pretty expensive but yeah, this is the style I meant, thank you!
There are a ton of cheapies like that on amazon and similar sites. Amazon has an entire category for it here: Non-referral amazon link to “lantern flashlights”
Note that just because something sells well on amazon does not mean it’s worth buying, but the list can be handy. More here.
They aren’t 360 but maybe look at the Lumintop E05C or E21C. The E21C comes with a diffuser for the front as well as having one built in on the side. Edit: I just read your previous comment referring to the E05C so it seems you are familiar already.
I bought a bunch of these: Non-referral amazon link and passed them out to my non-flashlight-ophile friends. A year later all of them still work (except for one which got thrown into a river), although the bezel is cheaply glued on and may need to be re-glued. But not a bad light for less than $10 each, and even has a high CRI mode.
It’s a DIY workaround but I added a cap from some random bottle to my D10 headlamp. works fine as a diffuser and works as a switch cover when throwing it in the bag. The stock UI is also not quite desirable but Quadrupel has better drivers on sale if you want to mod it.
Speaking of DIY diffusers, I ordered some of these to experiment with: Super-thin silicone cupcake molds, amazon link
Multiple colors, they ship from within the US, and they withstand 400°+ F. If they’re too thick they can be sanded down, too thin and you can double them up.

I'm sure there are others, but off the top of my melon is this one from Nite-Ize https://www.niteize.com/product/3-in-1-LED-Mini-Flashlight.asp

Thanks! As much as I like the LT1 it really is too bulky and heavy for backpacking IMO. Tried to make do with this method and works well enough.
