A BLF custom lantern build is in the works, and if all goes well a manufacturer will be working to build a production model based from it. It will be capable of running on 1,2,3, or four 18650 cells in paralel (much safer than series setups for LiIons) have long run times in high mode, and run times of days on the lower modes, be low-glare with a down-firing LED design, ( that distributes light far better in the directions that its needed than that of those eye-glaring standard flashlight diffusers) use natural 2700K to 3000K warmer tints close to that of a incandescent bulb, (equal a 40 watt or higher Incandescent bulb on high, be durable, table standable or hangable, have a moon light mode/night light that will run for months, and possibly have a built in USB charger.

cool, is there a thread yet?

Programmable modes and auto shutoff on low battery would be nice, so i could give it to my folks and not be concerned about them running the batteries into oblivion
