What is your ratio of flashlights to lanterns?

Other Types of Lights LED Lanterns

I am not good with math, so I will have to do a easy ratio to percentage. Plus I don’t have a accurate count of lights. :slight_smile: So, I will round things off.

about 200 lights, 7 of which are lanterns

So ratio to percentage: 3.50% of my lights are lanterns.

Hum…I need to bring that more in line and buy more lanterns now. :bigsmile:

Hundreds : 7

Of the 7 lanterns i converted 6 to warm white, for the seventh I’m still fighting with the heatsink.

5 of them are this 4xAA lantern:

It’s a kind of clone of the UltraFire ZF6248:

A little demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PszlrClLuwE
Surprisingly, it’s “better” and cheaper than the original: grey, no blinky mode (despite what the packaging says), and around $17,50 (converted from EUR) before sales tax (well, the Euro is getting destroyed).
I’ll post a beginner-level how-to guide for the emitter swap the next days, I made a few photos while “mass-converting” three of them yesterday.

The other two are 3xD big ones, and harder to modify:

I have several others, but failed to mod them to something useful, so they are now scrap parts and I don’t count them.

Sounds good. I’m looking forward to your thread.

Here I’ve posted a step-by-step guide for the mentioned emitter swap:

I’m at about 60:1. I have an old 3xAAA lantern that I can’t bring myself to throw away.

26

About 10:1. I do have about 5 lanterns I'm cannibalizing to build a lighgthouse though. Just wish I could figure out how to use the leds from them as they are but I am currently only using the fresnel lenses.

5:1

Roughly 6:1

20:1

30:1

My only lantern is the streamlight mini siege and it works great!

31

Just guessing but around 30 to 1 something like that.

32

UPDATE: - now probably over 300 flashlights & 120 lanterns. TO MANY! :weary:

Dang, and I thought I had the bug bad. You make me feel like a piker.
