Went to Solarforce-Sales to order one of their lantern attachments for the L2 and noticed they have a new style lantern. Did some searching and also found the old style. I went ahead and ordered 2 of the old style because it comes with a stand.
The website doesn’t say much, is it plastic or metal. Saw a picture on another website showing it hanging from a ring on the top, don’t think it comes with a stand.
Older is used by removing the hosts HEAD and screwing on the lantern.
New model is used by removing only BEZEL RING.
Pro´s:
No dirt gets to the reflector
Cons:
With whole dropin assembled closer to first diffuser - better transmittance of light to lantern.
Need a tool (if not loose) to get bezel ring off. Head is easier to disassemble with even gloves on.
While there may have been two variations the ones pictured in links are the same. I have one on order and I hope it screws to head, there’s threads on top of the lantern put your normal bezel on.
I have one that I got about a year ago. It goes on top of a regular head. You remove the crenalated/smooth bezel and it attaches via threads on top of the head already on the light. And you can then put the crenalated/smooth bezel that you removed on the top of the Lantern Head. I used it for a week when I went camping. It works pretty good for the size of it.
