Dealspotting, a warm plus cool, plus red Lantern that can also charge your phone

[jon_slider]

fwiw the Sofirn LT1S lantern, is on sale for $20.37 (before tax), complete with battery. (normal price is $30 higher)

This lantern offers warm to cool white tint mixing, plus a Red mode

here is a review of the LT1S

there is also a case available, though imo not necessary as the lantern comes in a nice little box that packs well.

Im not affiliated, just a fan ;-)

YEP!

Got one yesterday for that price. My second one at around that price and a STEAL with battery included.

You can hook these to a USB power-bank and get super-long extended runt-times... Better than having the 4 18650 version since it's so small.

Did you read some of the 5* ratings in that first link?
Hilarious!

Have to translate those!

I've had one for over a year. The Pro version has some things better and worse than this one. This one is pretty simple to use and is a really good light...

Being able to charge it while using it with a cheap USB power bank is fantastic for camping or power outages...

It looks interesting, especially for the price. I tend to have at least one 'area' light around for emergencies. This one would work for those occasions.

I just got distracted by the comments in the ratings section

Welcome to the discussion bluflaam777 ;-)

No. I dont read buyer ratings comments on flashlight sales pages. I also dont read Amazon "verified buyer" reviews.

I rely on independent reviews, from sites such as 1lumen and zeroair, as in the second link.

 

[bluflaam777]

I like reading them, but seldom take any to heart. They're about as valuable as a micky-Ds commercial. (one step below a used car salesman)
But those were entertaining af.

Thanks for the welcome! Seriously have already learned much from this wonderful site. Looking forward to the continued education.

I just received my LT1S.. Im very happy with it..

here are some runtime specs from data in the 1Lumen review

and a runtime chart, also thanks to 1Lumen:

And then I did an R9 CRI test w my Opple 4, as well as a PWM test (flicker index and modulation depth). Im super happy with the CRI and the lack of deep modulation (PWM is 100% modulation, here the output only dips less than 4%)

LT1S also works as a powerbank (w USB-C to USB-C cable):

I use Lumintop 14500 USB-C batteries in my D3AA and TS10 (with Turbo disabled on both)

Big Thumbs up for the LT1S!

Love how the 140w INIU 2700mah power bank gives you aprox time remaining at watt output.



Low 93 hours at 1.5 watt (plus whatever the internal battery at 5000mah) 15 lumens

MED 63 hours at 2.1 watt (plus whatever the internal battery at 5000mah) 59 lumens

High 36 hours at 4 watt (plus whatever the internal battery at 5000mah) 164 lumens

Turbo 11 hours at 12.9 watt (plus whatever the internal battery at 5000mah) 495 lumens
This one may have kicked into charging the batt.

thanks for the runtime estimates,
thats Very Cool how your powerbank reports runtime.
