I do not have the Jax Z1 so you have me at a dis-advantage there. I am sure it is a nice light.
What I do have is a Kloepper Knife Works modded Uniquefire 1504 that puts out 429k and has a lighted tailcap (Worth every penny)
It cost just over $100 and with that output, I am saying âI donât need any more Zoomiesâ so please forgive me for using the phrase âwe donât need any more zoomiesâ
Now if you can tell me how to get the Cometa to 429k for $100 I am all ears. They advertise the group buy one at 198k and some members have gotten over 205k but that is still half of the modded Uniquefire 1504.
I spent that amount of money to stop the purchasing of flashlights that do the same job but only slightly better.
Multiple purchases quickly add up over the $100 threshold.
Itâs like you when get used to driving a car with 300hp and it seems fine, but when you get the 500hp one, suddenly there is no going back.
I also erred in saying the 1504 doesnât take the 26650, sorry, just have too many zoomies I guess
Itâs all good.
Thanks
Keith
That's fine. I just don't think I will bother taking it all down, as you have pointed it out... it's not valid info, it's been noted by you. I didn't read everything about the controversy and I probably never will, so I should probably just stay out of it, since I don't really plan on being all that involved anyhow. Guess I was just not sleeping last night at the hospital and felt like running my mouth after all these days of silence.
I canât figure out this.
BG bought 100 lens for replacing, warranty and co.
Now, some say BG used the jaxman lens in the cometa produced by manker , while others say that the cometa lens is cleary inferior to the jaxman one. Which one is true?
Also, Iâd like to hear how can you make hundreds reserved lights with 100 lens
I realize Manker made the Cometa from Banggood specs (so they say), however, Manker has control over the engineers, the machining, and the quality control aspects of the whole deal.
Let me ask Mankerlight a couple questions. Being that everyone knows you are a flashlight manufacturer, and that you manufactured the Cometa. Was money more important building a defective, sloppy, and potential dangerous light, than building a quality safe light, knowing full well hundreds of these would end up in the hands of people who have little or no knowledge of modifying flashlights? Did you not consider this would damage your reputation? What about the MCPCB design flaws of the S41 or the E14? Although not at the same level of incompetence, none the less, obviously very little thought process. Is there a problem at the Manker factory where engineers are not allowed to speak up when they see a potentially dangerous design flaw? Do you actually have engineers?
Donât you have the responsibility to tell the non-engineers at Banggood the design is flawed and potentially dangerous?
to The Miller, the cometa OP said that the light would be made by Jaxman, and not just âbased onâ a Jaxman light. many ppl commented that they were glad the light would not be made by Manker, and there are still posts on the second page saying that the light would be made by Jax. I would never had bought it had I known it would be made by Manker, due to past mistakes and spec changes. The Jaxman info was later deleted from the OP. I was the first one to point out that the Jaxman info had been deleted, and many other posts were deleted or edited regarding the planned manufacturer. As soon as i pointed this out, Kronos spoke up and told me not to say anything about the deleted info. I, of course, found this to be very suspicious, especially since Kronos is so closely aligned with Manker. George, you are, as always, welcome to comment.

i would ask admin to restore all the deleted info from the COMETA group buy thread so we can see everything that was said.
The design of Jaxman Z1 costed us about 1 year time. There are about 20 pcs components supplied by 10 factories in 1 set of Z1. All partsâsize are accurate manufatured,and adjustd many times even a O ring.
It is very normal that there are kinds of problems in such a lens flashlight built by fully copied only outlook not structure,and even in so short days.
I confirm that:Jaxman and Manker are brand manufacturers of flashlights.We are familiar with eachother well by Chinese forum. Manker should know what is a Jaxman Z1 looks like.
I am very disappointed that our counterparts make a 100% outlook copy flashlights for other re-seller.We should respect each other,and should care of our reputations,not only benefit.
Manker canât even make good copies of their own lights. their short tubes never did fit the A6, and their parts donât lego from one light to another of the same light. Manker is the Keystone Kops of the flashlight world.

Mr. Jaxman, please help BLF make a good custom flashlight MADE BY JAXMAN⌠THX
Banggood is one of our dealers as I said at begin of the topic.They really have been selling Jaxman Z1 flashlights for a long time. We agree to sell JAXMAN Z1 them and agree them resell Z1 to guys all over the world.While we never agree them to sell Z1 host and copied Z1 in another name.
the link of Banggood you give us is a old version Jaxman Z1 .
the link of CPFitalia is a Jaxman Z1 except drive and LED. We think xpl hi is ď˝ď˝ď˝ a proper lamp for LENS flashlight.
> the link of Banggood you give us is a old version Jaxman Z1 .
What is different between the old version and current version?
Can people like us tell by looking at a web page whether itâs the old version or the current one?
Can you suggest a reseller that has your current version for sale?
Thank you for commenting. It is very good to have direct words between us and the people making the flashlights.
hi, Hank, the on-sale Jaxman Z1 is a 4th version. The adjust is mainly pointed to little range alternations,such as O rings slot,threads length,head ring shape,lens coating,and accessories. I confirm the link mentioned is the old version because Logo is still JAX.JAX has cant be resigstered by China Industry and Commercial Government.So we registered JAXMAN as our normal trade markďźand we have regisitered successfully.From 2016.03.21 to 2026.03.20, is the 1st legal protection 10 years of the trade mark.
Because of many reseller wont tell us their trade name overseas,so we only know 2 of them,one is Banggood, and the other is HK equipment.I has found AD of HK equipment here. You can contact HK equipment for more information.
It has taken BangGood about 6 weeks to comment on here after they were first made aware of all the problems with the Cometa.
Even then all they have said is
âwe are sorry for using JAXMANâs outlook,
the COMETA is a customized light with BLF X5/X6âs driver.
The lens are not from JAXMAN and structure has some change.â
So they have apologised to Jaxman for misleading buyers into thinking the light was made by Jaxman but not a word about the problems with the Cometa.
No apology to buyers for misleading them.
No mention if they are working on resolving any of the multiple problems with this light.
They have added an insulating disc to the underside of the pill, that was not on the early lights that were sold, but that seems to be as far as they have gone.
CPF Italia have been waiting at least 4 weeks for their lights but have had no word from BG as to when they can expect them or if any modifications have or will be carried out to them to address the problems.
Personally I suspect that there will be no modifications carried out other than the addition of the pill insulating disc, which only addresses one of the lights problems, as if there are then they will have to offer these modifications or new modified lights to everyone that has already received one.
Hopefully I will have it in about 12-14 days time
I will do a full review & should have a working calibrated light tube by then so will be able to give some reasonably accurate figures as well
I am pretty sure my experience with it will be the complete polar opposite to my experience with the Cometaâs I have received
you got a keeper there never let that bad boy go, 
unless you want to sell it to me!!
