Lantern Rechargeable, Sofirn BLF LT1 Mini Led Camping Lantern, Tent Light with High CRI LEDs, Portable and Compact Lamp for Power Outage, Bedroom, Hiking, Backpacking, USB TypeC Charging

As we approach fall, it was my last opportunity to head out camping. I needed a small camping flashlight that I could easily fit in my backpack and that was small with a very good battery life. I purchased this flashlight because it had so many functions like changing color temps and endless possibilities for a programable UI.I recieved it and the packaging is the standard thin basic cardboard box. Inside the light is protected with bubble wrap. The diffuser is also protected with a layer of plastic to prevent scratches. The lantern comes with a 5000mAh 21700 Sofirn battery. Other accessories include extra Orings, Lanyard, and USB-A to C cable and manual. This one of the better manuals since it is very clear on the detail on how to program the Anduril 2.0 functions. It's a little difficult to remember at first, but all the functions are so useful.The battery is a 21700 5000 mah, which provided plenty of runtime. The total charging time of the included 5000mAh battery was 3:51:00 with a charge rate of just over 1.6A. LVP was measured at 2.738v. The orange button LED when charging will blink blue when charging and go solid blue when charged. The light can be used as a powerbank to charge your USB-C devices from it’s 5000mAh battery. This worked really well for camping because it could be used to charge my phone battery as well.The light is using 4x Samsung LH351D LEDs that are mounted on the bottom of the dome only. They are in a square configuration. There are 2 tints of LEDs being used here, 2× 2700k and 2× 5000k LEDs both high CRI. My Opple meter measured them through the diffuser at 2893k and 4776 respectively both at 96Ra (CRI). The beam pattern is even and nicely diffused. With the tint ramping and the steps, this makes for a combination where you can adjust the light output to exactly what brightness and tint you want.The firmware allows you to switch between cold white, warm white and a combination of options on which of the 4 LEDs illuminate. In my picture I have shows the various options when selected.Overall I was very impressed by the wide dispersion of the light and the run time provided by the 5000mah battery. I have yet to see a better flashlight lantern on Amazon for the same price with as much functionality.

This is a really great light for anyone wanting the most features possible in a compact lantern. The full size BLF LT1 has always been great, but I find it too large to regularly take with me. The BLF LT1 Mini lets you have the same awesome features like Anduril UI, tint ramping, and being a USB-C power bank, but in a lantern small and light enough to carry around in your pocket or an EDC bag.I used to always keep a power bank in my backpack, but I have replaced it with my LT1 Mini since it can serve dual purposes to charge my phone and light up the area whenever it's needed.The photo is just for anyone curious to see a size comparison. From right to left: Sofirn IF25A, the 21700 included with my LT1 Mini, the LT1 Mini itself, and the full size LT1.The build quality is what I've come to expect from Sofirn lights: very solid and well put together, but still pretty basic. It has square cut threads and springs on both ends, which are always nice to see. I would have loved to see a 1/4"-20 threaded hole or a magnetic tailcap for more mounting options, but it at least has a removable bail on top for hanging or attaching it to something. The plastic diffuser is threaded directly onto the head (so if you want to modify anything taking it off is very easy), which feels like it could be weak point but it's decently thick and seems super solid so far.I am super happy to see that the USB-C port works as intended with everything I've tried. Some lights will only charge with a USB-A to C cable, but the LT1 Mini will also work with C-C. It will also charge my phone perfectly fine, which some power bank lights won't.

The media could not be loaded.  Very impressive lantern, especially for its size! 300 lumens might not seem great but trust me. It lights up a pitch black area with ease. Battery lasts a good amount of time on full blast and doesn’t get all that warm after many minutes of use. I use this thing all the time and leave it on for 30 minutes or more at a time. It has taken 3 falls, arm height on concrete with no problem thanks to its rugged design. Great quality, Everything comes in the box, Outstanding customer support, fast shipping, and overall a great experience. Worth the buy. 5 stars from me.

The main reason I got this was for the battery and life. Look at the specs and type of battery used. It does come with a battery too! This thing is BRIGHT! If you figure the shortcuts it becomes super easy out on the road. By that I mean it goes instantly to certain functions with a double click or triple click etc. Sofirn has been great both this and my headset flashlight. Amazing products.

Put this on telescoping pole for low light in kayak. 360 bright light works great and adjustable intensity allows ambient light to rig up fishing gear while moving to spot. Also works great as a camp or tent lantern. No complaints after 5 months of use

I was excided to find this light. Sofirn is supposed to be a good light brand.Pro: one USB C for recharging and power bank (discharging), best battery choice 21700, compact and light weight, all metal construction.Con: Not bright enough. The Anduril UI is ridiculously cover complicated for a simple lamp.I got a cheap lamp a long with this one, thinking that this one is too nice to let my kids use it and drop it. When compared to the other lamp at half the price, the other one has lots more functions, flashlight / lamp / red light / flashing / usbC & power bank. The important difference was it was many times brighter than this lantern. The worst part was Sofirn's Anduril 2.0 UI. It is a very BAD joke on the user. This lantern has ONE button, and two color lights under the button. So, Sofirn expects the user to just click through complicated settings to "program" the light and get to all of the features. It is maddening to use and very often you don't know the results.

Long battery life, adjustable color temperature, and really bright. Love it. Only thing missing is a magnetic base.

Ich kenne den großen Bruder, die Sofirn BLF LT-1. Die Mini-Version wird ebenfalls über Anduril bedient. Und das ist bekanntermaßen etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Der Funktionsumfang ist entsprechend groß.Die Mini ist kleiner, schlanker und hat eine Kamera-Aufnahme am Boden, so dass man sie auch auf ein entsprechendes Stativ aufschrauben kann.In Summe eine gelungene Verkleinerung einer ohnehin guten Campinglampe.
