Is this still an issue? I'm running EE3.5.4 and LE 2.0.1. My site is set to 12 hour clock, my entries appear with 12 hour settings in the fieldtype, but on the front end, I am getting 24 hour results.
It shouldn't be. If you're seeing strange results, I'll need to take a look myself. Please send SuperAdmin login credentials to hi at gotolow dot com if you can.
...where the format="" parameter explicitly tells Low Events to output the time in a 24h format. Change it to anything else as per the EE date format rules, and you should be all set.
Thanks, Low. I guess I needed to specify %h in order to display correctly. Strange that without that variable formatting in place, just using {event:start_time} it still appears in 24 hour mode.
The setting is meant for use in the fieldtype interface only (CP and Channel Form). If no format is given in the template, the raw DB data is returned, which is 24h format, which also is the recommended ISO standard. So, not that strange, but I see how you can get confused.

It's a known issue and will be fixed in the upcoming version, to be released early coming week.

Thank you! I just emailed you with the details.

(replying here for visibility)
Looking at your template code, you've got this:
{event:start_time format="%H:%i"}...where the format="" parameter explicitly tells Low Events to output the time in a 24h format. Change it to anything else as per the EE date format rules, and you should be all set.

nonetheless, I appreciate your help! Fixed!
