I just received my BLF LT1 lantern. My question is what color is the backlit button supposed to be on the latest version? Mine is orange.
What color did you order? Where did you order it from? Do you have a link?
latest version is green. I’m very curious as to how you got an orange one. I don’t believe Sofirn’s website, Aliexpress store, or Amazon US have any stock left with the orange backlit button.
Just got one from Amazon US yesterday. Normal backlight is blue, turns orange while charging.
Purchased off of Amazon for $77.42, yesterday. When sitting idle, the back glow on the button is orange. I haven’t charged it yet so not sure what the button color does then, just yet.
It says that it has the power bank charging functionality and claims to put out 800 lm, so I thought it would be the latest version
My first batch version has an orange lighted switch.
Latest versions do have a green switch.
Maybe you can tell by the firmware version?
I will check the firmware tonight. Thanks
I too just received a green LT1 directly from the Sofirn site. My switch is orange backlight when off (set to low) and blue blinking while charging. Driver board is “BLF-LT1-A4 Sofirn”. Haven’t tried power bank yet - no cable. I’m more confused than normal.
Power bank works. Charging iPad at 4.98V, 2.3A. Power button is constant bright blue while power bank-ing. Anduril version check (15 clicks) blinks two then one. v2.1? or 2.0.
Version check blinks out 12 numbers.
Mine is the first version LT1, the button backlight is orange. When charging its red until charged, then green.
Personally I prefer an amber backlight while the light is in use or standby. I hope if I ever get one of these that it has the amber button.
Hope someone can help me with what the latest firmware is and how to check it
Thank you SammysHP. I should have read the manual first. FW is 2020-9-27.
My copy:
Off/Standby = steady orange (low setting)
Charging = blue blinking and orange (low)
Power bank = steady blue
Thanks gman7228.
That’s my exact configuration. So, is this the latest model that is out?
It appears to be the latest firmware, looking in toykeeper,net. I think this is the latest driver board - A4. Looks like switch colors vary a bit over time or revision. I think it’s the latest model as it came from Sofirn directly - not Amazon or other.
I’ll check firmware version again later. I didn’t do it right.
Looks like they have updated the LED color again. Would be interesting to see if the erratic flashing of the blue LED still exists.
On the LT1 I just received from Sofirn, the Firmware version is 2021 08 29 0621. 15 clicks outputs 202108290621.
I just received another BLF LT1. This one is green and has the blue switch back light. I can’t seem to change the switch from bright blue. Shouldn’t it be able to be low, bright, blink or off?
Where did you buy it from? What color is the light? You might have to switch to advanced mode.
