*BLF LT1 Lantern Project) (updated Nov,17,2020)

Think we’ve all been indoors too long, I thought the dog was glowing the other night. I’d had a couple of Quarantinis, as in, whatever I can find in the back of the cupboard. Just for info, Southern Comfort and Ribena isn’t too bad. :slight_smile:

Seriously, I can’t wait for this lantern, if only for the same use as yours. So much better than an incan bedside lamp.

What colour does the diffuser glow?

My guess would be faint white, like old type fluorescent tubes do for a few minutes after switching off. But that’s to do with electrical discharge agitating electrons, something that isn’t in play here. Interesting observation.

could it be the button illuminating the diffuser?

So I have the first batch lantern, thinking of flashing it to the new firmware. Any links to the parts needed to do this? Might just order a new version of the c to c is working. Or is the upgradeable too? Edited ,Amazon seems to be much higher on soic 8 test clip with usbisp , Ali is much cheaper but a long wait. A local shop might have them , maybe a tutorial on the possible mods to the lt1 is needed.

Any idea when the colored Lt1 will be available? For now just the black?

this is carry case for JBL flip 4, it will fit LT1 too. How many people need it? Maybe a groupbuy?

Now just the black.

It might be something like this:

Basically, some sort of slow leak allowing the LEDs to stay slightly on when they shouldn’t.

Or maybe there’s some GitD powder in the plastic. Not sure; I still don’t have a production model… just a prototype.

Interested.
Four units.

Depending price maybe more.

You can buy those carry cases for like $8 on Amazon.

I found another one has inventory from supplier. LINK to sofirnlight.com

I have one similar for my Tribit speaker. Cost me about $8/£5.

Nice idea as it is, I can’t see a GB benefitting anyone, the postage costs on from the receiver to those wanting a case would be too expensive, not to mention possible postage problems caused by Covid-19.

Nice case Barry! :+1:

Does it continue to glow if you unscrew the battery tube from the head. That should eliminate if it is caused by some sort of an electrical leak causing the glow or something that glows without power.

My LT1s were delivered today. :smiley:
