A well thought out kit.
At the very least for Sofirn to request mfg, is the wide base, head base cap, and possibly the directional shade. Everything else can be self sourced as needed, if a total kit is not offered.
Any idea where weāre at with the codes? Waiting patiently for mine 
Iām number 2069
yeaahā¦ i am nr 288 wanne buy on ebay and āout of stockāexcluded batteries it sucks
update: i have made the offer for included batteries ist not out of stockfor now
Yeah, they actually posted how to order off Ebay. It was fair to use their instructions. Using someone elseās username is not cool.
I'm interested please include me...
Thank you
The interest list was closed yesterday after the last of the 3,000 slots were taken.
good points! :+1:
the shades are opaque.
Great video and ideas. Iāll leave my few cents about the accessories.
1) The bottom cap. It would be neat if Sofirn would be willing to machine them so theyāre screw-on. With 1/4āā20 so you retain that feature without batteries.
But if they do a bottom cap, then they should also do a battery tube cap. Screw-on as well. That would be nice.
2) The wide base. If they make it then it should be attached with the 1/4āā20 thread on the bottom.
That way it can be a plastic frisbee with a hole in the middle. Make the screw captive for good measure.
And if they make the bottom cap with 1/4āā20 thread then the frisbee could be threaded on to that as well.
Personally I like tripodās more. Compact ones are dime a dozen and in my opinion a tripod offers more stability on uneven ground. Usually they have a ball joint as well so you could keep the LT1 plumb.
Of course if youāre camping in a marsh or on a beach then a platter base would be superior because of the higher surface area.
Or they could include both. If they go with the āfrisbee with a hole in the middleā route then that should be cheap enough for the accessory kit price not to balloon out of control.
3) Neoprene sleeve is a great idea. But only if they do not skimp on the quality of the material.

Hmmā¦ What elseā¦
āā
4) If Sofirn decides to do the accessory kit, it would be nice if they could offer it in 3-4 different āflavorsā. I for example have no interest in longer cables or cig-socket chargers.
āBasicā kit could include: storage bag for accessories, collapsible top hat, side reflector, bottom cap with tripod thread, lanyard.
Option 1 could add: neoprene sleeve for LT1, tripod?, battery tube cap?
Option 2 could add: 12V cig-socket charger + adapter + longer USB-C cable
āPremiumā kit would include everything.
Or some other combinations.
Whoops, āfew centsā indeed :person_facepalming:
BLF for some reason doesnāt like hyphens in URLās folder/path section.
So in the future, only copy and paste Amazon links like this Amazon.com
Do not include the rest so the forum parses the url correctly.
Or you could just use the āinsert linkā button above the text box (itās the fifth symbol from the left).
So you can do this.
Same goes for Ebay.
This is a hot mess https://www.ebay.com/itm/BLT-LT1-Lantern-Sofirn-USB-Rechargeable-Lamp-with-4pcs-18650-Batteries-3000mAh/383203278208?hash=item5938b1fd80:g:MlgAAOSwY8Zdnucp
This is not https://www.ebay.com/itm/383203278208
See what I did? I only included the /itm/somethingsomething
AliExpress usually doesnāt need work like that since their URL structure is different.
But this still isnāt that nice 23.01ā¬ |Sofirn BLF LT1 8 * LH351D Camping Licht Mehrere Bedienung Verfahren Super Helle Taschenlampe Variable Farbe 2700K zu 5000K|LED-Taschenlampen| - AliExpress
But even if a URL doesnāt āneed workā itās good netiquette in my opinion to clean them up regardless, remove unnecessary refs and tags and sources and other nonsense that are unnecessary for the URL to work.
Since isnāt this a bit nicer? 23.01ā¬ |Sofirn BLF LT1 8 * LH351D Camping Licht Mehrere Bedienung Verfahren Super Helle Taschenlampe Variable Farbe 2700K zu 5000K|LED-Taschenlampen| - AliExpress
Lagittaja, it sure is nicer. Itād be nice if this old fart could remember it too . Not everyone on here knows all that others do about the ānet. I might remember the insert link clicky thing. The rest? Not so much.
Heck, it took me forever to figure out how to post a picture, did it once then could I do it again? Not a chance. 
My two cents on the accessory kit ideas.
1. Could the wide base and the cap for when batteries are not in use be made to fit into each other somehow? I could see that being useful in a variety of situations.
2. Similarly Iād hope the base and the cap both could either be made of some very high quality plastic or even aluminum like the light itself.
3. Definitely put my vote in for the flexible silicone shade. No reason for the other options when that one fulfills all of them, lays flat and is adjustable.
4. I like the idea of a carrying case as well as long as itās well made. If itās not Iād rather just make my own.
5. The little mini cord with clips is a great idea and saves us finding something. But why not make the clips the same on both sides?
6. The directional shade/reflector is cool too, great idea, but definitely would be best if it could be connected without tools.
I hear ya man!! You have my sympathy. I used to be a computer tech in the early 90s. Now I have trouble remembering simple task.
The pic thing I can still do if you need help just Pm me or there is a link here How to Post Images on BLF
Good info Lagittaja ā¦ā¦ thanks :+1: 
I just came back to a private message with information that didnāt work. There were tons of posts to wade through and was just concerned. Thanks for the info.
One big question is what happens with unused codes a few months after all lights are build and codes sent.
Are they going back into the BLF group buy pool?
They will be sold on Epay to the highest bidder~!
LOL
Doesnāt matter, they are not going to stop making these things, they will make various other colors, saturate the market and have multiple sales.
You heard it here first.
I have just watched you video and I have to say you did an amazing job (again)! All of these acessories seem to work great and add functionality, while still being realtivly cheap to make.
And could you please ask them to add that amazing lanyard to the basic lantern? Itās just so usefull and costs bearly anything to make!
They have already began to ship some of the first lanterns though, but definitely the double clip lanyard is a useful accessory.
UPDATE: Oct,23,2019
Possible colors vote added. >> Go vote on your favorite color, and we will work with Sofirn to see what is possible.)

ZOMGG!!! Can I vote for more than 1 color ? How many colors will be chosen, or make it to production phase?
Is there any way at all to get in on the Group Buy price? New to the hobby and stumbled across this. This looks really cool and would love to get in on it
