Let’s get the first version of this lantern out before we start changing the light around as if we are starting from scratch.
We’ve known - and agreed- from the start that this was going to be an 18650 powered light. ~ Same size body as the Q8. Different battery suggestions now would be great for a v2 lantern.
The wait for this light has already be excruciating enough…as it is, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we were told the light should be ready right around Christmas time…
Yes, it uses Anduril. And I updated the candle mode just a few days ago to make it a little nicer. I haven’t done a video yet, but I graphed two minutes worth of candle mode’s power use, overlaid on the same graph. It’s wide, so you may need to click to zoom in and then scroll horizontally:
I am interested in the updated candle mode. The original is a bit jumpy for my tastes, but I did not want to complain. I would call it more like fireplace. Candle’s don’t tend to change the output all the much. Not sure from the graph what it will “look” like, but “looking forward” to checking it out.
