Um, Firefox claims there are 376 pages in this thread. I got on a list a couple of years ago but havenāt kept up.
Is there an expectation of this lantern being available, do I need to sign up again?
Sorry to ask a TL/dr question; lifeās been a bit confusing lately.
its been available already
Itās available over a years already. 
Yep, itās available right now!
Sofirnās store / AliExpress Amazon
If itās not super urgent, you could wait and see if a sale/coupon shows up for your vendor of choice.
But the base price is pretty reasonable too (and in line with the initial GB price of $50).
ya i got it on AE with batteries for 49 USD
Congrats :+1:
I guess many are interested in the colours for the LT1, do you have any informations about it?
As i have been quite out of the loop over getting sick, the move, etc. I have not heard from Barry about the colored versions. I hope he can chim in with updates on that.
He probably means the LT1 miniā¦
No, i donāt mean the mini. Only the regular full size LT1, like this thread and the colour thread are titled.
I joined the forum because I have the same problem with two received the same time from an October 27th order. Glad Iām not the Lone Ranger. I was really BS at myself thinking Iād managed to lock it up, but three resets didnāt do anything. I canāt find anything telling me what the amber in the switch means. So it worked out of the box on the batteries. Charged and the green lights were lit. Unplugged the cable and nothing. Close inspection shows two green and two amber LED are lit under the switch cover. Very open to ideas. Iāve contacted the manufacturer, will report back when I hear something.

In that case the LT1 has been out for a VERY long time and at the moment (to my knowledge) thereās no ETA on the LT1 color
FYI, as in a later comment, there are also black stickers. The light WILL come on at least once with only the top/positive removed. Obviously there is a capacitor involved. But it fooled me into not looking for a negative end shipping barrier.
Ron
OK, because my light had come on with only the top battery shipping barrier removed I āassumedā it was a battery charging problem. Obviously there is a charged capacitor that ran the light without batteries. The battery negative end barrier black dots blend into the battery and look like part of the cell. They are attached with a good adhesive so while not hard, good enough to make me wonder if I was being smart or not. Manufacturer was very responsive. But one asked if the switch lights were covered in the instructions. Iāve honestly miss-placed mine is a big clean but nothing I found on line spoke to them

Not VERY long time, just one YEAR. Same like for the possible colors, which even have their colour decision poll.
Iām just discovering this great lantern ā¦ iām interested !
Whatās the best way / best place to order it (at the best price) ? Banggood ?
And where to find accessories ?
Given the Black Friday sales coming up (and a $5 discount code you can get from [Black Friday Deal]Sofirn Aliexpress Store~Deal price for all products), Iād recommend Sofirnās AliExpress listing. Donāt forget to also stack a store coupon (orange one) with your other discounts! Not sure about accessories, I donāt think there are any official ones (some people have taken to 3D printing a reflector to make it more directional, though).
Thanks for the link and explanations about coupons (otherwise i would have missed them) ! (ordered for 34ā¬)
Just registered to say - don't buy it from the Sofirn official store with shipment from the US, as they will charge you more and ship it from China anyway.
30% off on Amazon US with code right now (comes with 4 batteries). Message Sofirn for the code. Sofirn Thanksgiving Special Deal-----Up to 30% Off, 7 Attractive Options In stock Amazon Prime, delivers in a couple days.
Hello DBSAR, what do you know about the shortage of resources at the anodizing factory?
How are the chances to get the coloured versions in 2021 ?
