Letās get the first version of this lantern out before we start changing the light around as if we are starting from scratch.
Weāve 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 enoughā¦as it is, I wouldnāt be at all surprised if we were told the light should be ready right around Christmas timeā¦
Yes, it uses Anduril. And I updated the candle mode just a few days ago to make it a little nicer. I havenāt done a video yet, but I graphed two minutes worth of candle modeās power use, overlaid on the same graph. Itās 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. Candleās donāt tend to change the output all the much. Not sure from the graph what it will ālookā like, but ālooking forwardā to checking it out.
Iāve been following this for a year and would love to see the lantern used for 2019. Please put me down for one. Thanks for the hard work in design and testing.
I recognize the big peaks and valleys from the older version, the tighter ocillations to replace the big peaks in the newer one look like theyāll be nice. Even better!
