I think you are referring to me.
Normally I am a quiet person but anyway I don’t accept this type of behavior.
First of all where do you take this image?
If you know where, you would read that is referring to a previous stage in the prototyping of the COMETA in the specific case: Jax Z1 + BLF A6 driver + 16 AWG wire
So I think you can understand that the Turbo level is more bright that the actual COMETA.
In all my beamshots I use the same camera settings: f2,8 - 5sec exposure time 200 ISO (my camera can’t go below) in complete darkness environment.
And I don’t make any type of advertising since I am not the vendor or the manufacturer of this light.
The EU stock after being overhauled by the manufacturer is now in transferring to the warehouse.
I think is necessary one week to complete the transfer.
When it will be available I will send the EU stock codes.
1° stage requested: The first idea was a Jax Z1 with XP-L HI on 20mm copper star, 3,5 A on Turbo mode and of course CPFItalia engraving
1° stage received: Jax Z1 with XP-L HI on 16 mm copper star, stock driver without any modification, no engraving
2° stage requested: 22mm BLF A6 driver, XP-L HI on 20mm copper star, 18 AWG wires
2° stage received: 22mm BLF A6 driver, XP-L HI on 20mm copper star, 16 AWG wires mounted myself on the Jax Z1 already received
3° stage requested: 22mm BLF X6v2 driver instead of BLF A6, 20 AWG wires instead of 16 because the right compromise between thickness and current.
3° stage received: 17mm X6v2 driver,XP-L HI on 16mm copper star, 24 AWG wires in a redesigned brass pill
The insulating washer certainly.
I told to Neal to insulate the solder points on MCPCB and to return in specs for the wires. I will be listening? I don’t know.

I can’t comment on the rest of the world… but I can on the USA.
Our “”laws“” you refer to SUCK… whether it be a product or service in question.
Consumers cannot be, nor should be expected to be informed about every single product or service they choose.
They are relying on hopefully…. the “Professional” that is offering the product or service.
Those who’s “business plan” or “marketing strategies” are based partly or solely on lies…… should be given one opportunity to clean up their act, with very heavy fine of course.
After that, if they continue; they should be dealt with immediatly…… with prejudice or extreme prejudice…. whatever the case calls for.
That might make other “crooks” think twice before doing the same BS.
AND, just to be clear… I AM NOT talking about this COMETA problem at all.
We have all already been informed by a few others that stuff like this “just happens” in a first round “Group Buy” and it is just part of the “game” that is played when dealing with China, etc., etc.
And that if we “grovel & play the game” everything will almost assuredly turn out just fine.
So while I do not agree with that necessarily, it must be so.
Who am I to argue with it…. they say it works for them………. … :innocent:
Personally though, if I wanted to play a game; I’d go to WalMart and buy one…. …. YMMV,
Might be possible to find a “top hat” washer with a central tube that would surround the spring and fit around the outside edge of the driver, to keep it from shifting off center, and a “brim” wide enough to cover the whole pill.
I suspect the main problem is the Pill design from my observations. The driver sits too deep, (retainer should be flush) the driver spring should bottom out and stop the battery from touching the back of the pill and shorting out. The inner diameter of the driver seat , for component’s clearance is too small and the O.D. (retainer diameter) is too big, and might allow (possibly) components on the driver to short out on the inside. I also suspect this is a possible problem, because when I checked my other JAX X6 pills which is a 22mm driver based pill. The inner diameter (component clearance) is (21mm) the outer diameter (retainer) is (22.5mm), and the retainer sits flush with the back of the pill, with a 1.5-1.65mm thick driver board. I burned up 2 new BLFA6 drivers, one of them with the pill outside the body of the light. BG has agreed to replace ALL of the parts I lost. Just my .002 cents?
Hm. Or, if the little round holes in the driver are consistently placed, matching little holes in the washer, so both would turn at the same time as the driver got screwed down?
I dunno. There’s only so much you can do to patch up a mistake.
Fair enough sharpie I give in.
I have asked a polite question & yet again you have jumped down my throat.
I will delete the question & not bother posting in this thread again.
You win.
No US supplier. I gave them a pointer to the recommendations here, perhaps they’ll be willing to sell a few feet, er, a meter or so (or someone will buy a roll and break it up).
Or, hello, the manufacturer of the light could take it on. Sounds ideal for the threads. Thanks Sharpie.
Was ‘bella-headlight’ asking you this question ‘sharpie’???
You and ’hank’ both have spouted out so much BS in this thread about foreign relations I have had to break out my hip boots!!
You have both been rude and condescending to ’bella’ and owe him a public apology. And then leave him alone and mind your own business.
You both have talked on and on like you are foreign relations experts, but you have not answered one question I have asked you about your BS posts.
Go back to the one I asked you THREE times about your racing analogy BS. You avoided it each time.
And then when you & ’hank’ get your own lights you basically say the same things ’bella’ has been saying. What makes that OK for you two
Like ‘hank’ has told us several posts back, this is a game according to him. They have the specs but don’t fulfill them… no problem according to ‘hank’… they just “win”. And probably save a few cents on each light.
I am just gonna stop right there for now, because at this point I am very calm and collected…. and I do wish to stay that way.
I would hate to get fired up and write anything and appear ‘unkind’….
So, I am gonna go for a walk on the beach and catch a fish or two for supper and come back to this later and finish what I have to say.
To be clear, I think both you & hanks post’s on technical things and fixes are invaluable. Very helpful. I can tell by your technical post alone you are, or at least appear to be; a very intelligent person ‘Sharpie’.
Might want to work on those “people skills” though…. just a thought to consider. Same applies to you ‘hank’.
… :innocent:
