Please put me down for another (for a total of 3), thank you!
Interested. Please put me down for one.
I donāt think the LT1 is going to be done in time.
Thereās always next time
Iām not concerned about the LT1ās power draw; I just have no use for cheap USB cables and have plenty of those lying around. I want good ones, period.
Thanks to all who recommended Anker cables. Iām already familiar with them. I havenāt used their Powerline cables and will certainly try some when I can add them to some other order. That will be awhile, though.
Fair enough, but surely there is at least one decent brand/store on AX or eBay. If the Baseus brand makes good power banks as reported, then if would be nice if they also offered good cables. I would consider buying from AX or eBay if they were a proven brand sold by a proven store. Amazon sells plenty of junk, too, and itās more difficult to get cabling from Amazon unless you have Prime.
Those adapters seem quite useful. I have plenty of micro-USB cables as theyāve been unavoidable, but I look forward to burning the lot of them in a ritualized manner :smiling_imp: . I despise ĀµUSB and wish its designers would be charged with a crime . Mini(B)-USB is much bulkier and somewhat costlier, but itās a 384% better connector. I know of multiple households with drawers full of old Android devices that cannot be charged because their micro(B)-USB connector failed, sometimes within 6 months. They were originally retired for that reason alone.
Cable tests from a friend
Heās a member here.
The manufacturers which make the best USB on average are UGreen and Blitzwolf.
Add one more for me please for a total of two, number 1862. Thanks
I never did any extensive testing but the two Ugreen cables I have feel of good quality and have very little power loss through them and they are 3 feet long. They are stiffer than some cables but not bad IMO. I have a USB A to Micro and a A to C. I watched the YouTube video and those cables are not the same as the ones I got from Amazon. Mine look more heavy duty. Gold contacts and braid covered cabling. May be no better? Can be easily found searching Amazon for Ugreen gold USB A to C cable. Mine are the black braided cables if it matters.
Long time lurker. Iāve registered finally because I am keen for this lantern. Great job to all involved.
Please put me down for 2.
I would love for you to place me down for one of these as well. Iāll do it with the batteries, please.
I found what i think might be the best USB cables you can buy, including for ipone & android putting out 5A max.
If any one wants to check it out, hope this is helpful..

you could try Volutz. They have their store on Amazon. I got some micro USB cables from them a couple of years ago. One stopped working and they sent me a whole set from their upgraded line. The braiding was tighter and the cable was nicer. They use 26 AWG for the data wires and 19 or 22 AWG depending on the length of the wire.
I havenāt used their USB-C wires tho so I canāt comment on the PD
Ah, just stumbled across this and had to sign up.
Please put me on the list for 2 lanterns.
Is the Sofirn 3000Mah a done deal? Would like to have the option to go for LG/Samsung 3500Mah batteries (I think that 16.67% extra capacity is worth the extra money).

Iām willing to wager Sofirn is set on bundling with their cells, but if youād rather a specific cell then thereās plenty of other stores that will facilitate that!
I sure wish these were already ready. Weāre probably going to be losing power with this hurricane coming our way. Wish us luck!

Even if they were ready to order today, I donāt think theyād beat the storm to your house. I hope you are well prepared. Are you in the direct path?
I donāt think the LT1 is going to be done in time. :weary:
Yeah, Iām in FL too. Every time a hurricane comes I come back to BLF to see if thereās a good lantern option.
Well, Iām in for one so I can be ready for the next hurricane.
I just ordered a Streamlight Siege to make do till the LT1 makes it into the wild. With Amazon Prime it should get here with a couple of days to spare before Dorian makes a possible visit to the Outer Banks late next week.

I know. Iām just wishing and while Iām wishing I love to wish for the perfect scenario. Lol
Weāre in Deerfield Beach. They say itās going to go North of us but they are never right until itās actually making landfall.
