BLF LT1 Sideshade / Shade

The BLF (Sofirn) LT1 is a very nice lantern, but sometimes the glare gets annoying. Wouldn't it be great to block the light in one direction?

Now this is possible with this simple design that can be clipped to the LT1. You can use it either as is (slightly translucent and reduces the output) or you can add some self-adhesive aluminum tape to the inside (which makes it absolutely black and reflects light back into the diffuser).

This design is compatible with my LT1 Shade to direct the light even more.

Credits to Big_Sam for the original idea and first prototype. I've modeled this based on his photos and my LT1 reference model and simplified it for easier printing and more robustness.
