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

I tested the included cell with my opus charger , it gave a capacity of 5206mAh which is bang on what it claims on the cell (5200mAh).

Well, i received the free 2x 18650.
They even have a protection circuit on the bottom.

Hope to get the Cometa soon.

…would be nice to get rid of the engraving though…
How to make “cpf italia” and “2016” black?

I think i will have to wait a long time for my light :cry: .

Ordered on 23.09. Got the shipped message on the 27.09. Today i checked because still no tracking update and the new shipping date was the 30.09.

I think they say its shipped so you can not cancel the order anymore. But when the package really is leaving the building is something totally different. Had hopes that the package left china before the hollidays, but it seems it is still there and will be another package thats added to the backlog.

But my early Christmas Gift arrived yesterday (Thanks to DB Custom). I put a XM-L and a 219C for size comparison besides the SBT-70 that is now waiting for the MCPCB and the Cometa.


Sharpie? :slight_smile:

My two Cometa’s arrived, I checked one and it works. Nice Vappower batteries too. These hosts are going to be fun, never had a Cometa or Jaxman Z1 before :slight_smile:

Superdeal!

I got mine yesterday with vappower cell. It has driver insulator correction and a floppy head. But for this price no complain.

This design does not have an o-ring in the zooming mechanism, and the limited amount of threading makes the head feel a bit loose. Perhaps much stiffer silicon grease would make it feel better.

But will it be greasy on hand when using the light?

No, the grease will be in the threading and does not come in contact with anything that is on the outside.

I tried packing with grease doesn’t really help much. Then it gets dirty with debris from dust and dirt looks yuck lol.

I do not have the light here. But from checking pictures i would guess that one or two o-rings could help. Not if zoomed out completly but i would think about 90% of travel way would be stabilized.

I have used them for walking around at night, no rattling sound and very easy to turn the zoom head single handed. I think if someone were to use it for jogging or cycling, then the loose head is an issue.

Bump ;-)

Any further spots I should check before using the Cometa?

Those should cover all.
Beware of sticky switch though, might make you think something shorted when light suddenly turn off itself.

:+1:

The cells are decent but apparently not high drain? Good for like 10amps?

You could probably also use Teflon tape on the zoom function.

Hmm, Teflon tape, that is an option. But it may wear away fast because it is not meant for continuous friction.

@DENGOH, fireblade893:

Thanks for the tip on configuration. Sorry to say I need to develop further the right touch of short clicks. The difficulty reminds me of the short click problem I had with BLF A6 getting into configuration. Keep reminding that I will get the right short click touch eventually.

Obvoiusly you aren’t trying to make full on / off clicks are you ?

My current “light” touch is not light enough. I am currently either ‘too heavy light’ or ‘no light’.
