GB Clone Offically "SOLD OUT" 10/21/18 XPL HI 1300LM Focusing AKA Cometa 2016

Now 3

Ha Ha Ha, wow, it is all of us right here that is buying them up that I can almost be sure of, just looked at there’s like 5 3B’s left, I must have snatched that 1A right out from under you EveryDay, but then I screwed myself by not looking closer at what I was canceling while at PP as I mentioned so if you keep watching that 1A should show backup. haha… what a crazy deal and yep more dusty boxes will probably show up and BG is wondering what’s going on with all the sales all of a sudden …

Yes, Praveendk when you get it I’ll tell you what the problem was or really anyone who was in on that will know, there’s fix threads around here somewhere but still it’s not all that hard and doesn’t really take any mod skills IMO.

There were 2 and when I added one to my cart and want to buy it says out of stock :frowning:

OK, which one of you scoundrels bought the last light, it now says SOLD OUT AGAIN … ha ha

I never modded mine till a few months ago and it was fine stock some had issues and others didn’t.
The issues where a metal anodized disc holds the LED in place but the anodizing was getting scraped of and causing issues. Easy fix just place some electrical tape over the led wires.
My one was fine i think it really depends on the solder job done if it had sharp joints. Other issue was some 26650 would short out between positive battery terminal and the ground in the battery tube same fix as above. Electrical tape or a plastic insulator or any none conductive material to separate the two.

Apparently these issues have been fixed.

I modded my Cometa with a dedomed XPG2 and it does over 300kcd.

Thanks T18 and everydaysurvivalgear…

Yes… it’s us…the forum members buying them out.

I will wait for mine to arrive and see if there is any problem.

Am guessing they’d add some more in stock again.

Let’s see

Yes… They are back in stock
1A …21 pieces
3B …50+ pieces

Got one in 3A :slight_smile:

That was quick… In just 2 hours …. LoL

What is difference between 1A and 3 B please.

The difference is the led Tint/color temperature

1A is cool white
3B is Neural white.

Banggood has this issue when it is last few or last unit. I requested refund multiple times in the past due to that.

Grabbed one while I can. Whilst its not what the cometa was meant to be as originally promised it’s still a lot of light for that price!

Yes, I waited two weeks or so but still back ordered.

Backorder here as well. Grrrrrr.

How did you request refund? I used the contact us option in the order page.

Not sure about the details now, I remembered Banggood offered other products as replacement, but I rejected them. I waited because it was good deal, at the end had to give up and request refund.

I got 2 of the Cometa Bombeta’s one of which was affectionately called Melt Down, only because it did melt down, the other Bombeta was fine.

I ordered 2 of the 2016 Focusing Lights (AKA Cometa’s) wonder if they will come with the plastic milk jug insulators?

The new updated BG page I put up today still has a few of the nasty reviews from 2016, also I found a link to YouTube for those who were asking about how to fix the issues, I’ve heard there were quit a few vids, I haven’t watched this one below yet.
One funny thing I noticed on this link to YT, Cometa vid for fixes was that down at the bottom under the vid in the comments is a message by the man who took the worst beating on this cloning of the Jaxman Z1, the message is from the owner of Jaxman himself Paul as I’ve always called him.

Z1 is a oringinal product of Jaxman

Edit: Well crap, I’m just a messenger and this is a good deal if the lights are there with the known dangers and all, so please don’t anyone get mad at me if BG clowns you around, I’ve now put in two orders through PP and both have gone through and I haven’t heard anything yet about back orders or anything, YET… ?

Sold Out
