WARNING: Cometa – read/fix BEFORE inserting battery

LED Flashlights – General Info
81

The driver has the ability for a Zener mod....so that a MTG2 or XHP can be run. In that scenario an extension tube can be used.

You CANNOT add a second battery for longer run time of this light with the XPL Hi.

82

Thanks for the clarification.

83

Please put me in for:

1x CW
1X NW

Tnx for handling !

84

Please add my name to the reservation list.

Thanks!

Please put me in for:

1x CW

Thanks

86

A request, because this light uses a screw in pill is it possible to ask if they could make an extra pill (we can buy) with choice of led - so we could have NW or CW??

87

any updates on this?

88

Waiting on sample to arrive

89

Please put me down for 1 NW.

Thanks!

In for a 1A light. Thank you!

91

One CW please!

Thanks. :bigsmile:

For some reason, I expected the LED would be mounted on a board that went all the way out to the edge of the pill.

93

KIL - I honestly do not know. The sample is not here yet. As soon as it does we will know. The original pic shows what appears to be a red noctigon. Chances are we will be looking at a white mcpcb (without noctigon branding) or a Maxtoch mcpcb.

94

That looks like a rough mock up, maybe one of the first samples. See that white, solid goop under the star? There's still the impression left from the 20mm stock aluminum star that was pried up and replaced. I imagine they won't be ripping apart built Z1's to make the cometa.

OP mentions arctic paste not glue too.

95

Hi,
this was the first sample (prototype v1 on review) in which a 16 mm MCPCB was mounted. Then with the driver upgrade (prototype V2) a 20 mm Noctigon board was placed in the pill.
As Bugsy says probably the final version will be equipped with a white copper MCPCB (without Noctigon brand)

96

Thanks for the explanation. Anything that bumps this thread up to the top is a plus.

  • Jax Z1 zooming host
  • Cree XP-L HI (neutral- or cool-white)
  • Wight's FET+1 driver
  • ToyKeeper's A6 software (with a longer period before step-down)
  • stock with gold-plated, double springs (no bypass needed)
  • 1x26650 or 1x18650 battery

I am excited about this one.

97

If XPL-HI is difficult to get for this GB, why not consider the XHP-50? Much more lumens too.

The only issue is that the driver will need to boost the voltage to power the higher voltage XHP50 with one cell. This plus the XHP50 LED may increase the price a bit…

98

It would need a completely different driver and UI setup. We do not have a boost driver.

It isn't impossible but that would set things back months to do it on a production level.

Individually modded though...a zener mod to this driver should work if someone purchased the extension tube and willing to forego LVP. I have never done that but there is a plan to look at it.

99

If Cyberescudo was OK with it...we could consider adding the XHP model with factory setup. That host would still be CPFi Comet but we may be able to secure a group buy discount although it will be more than the $45 for this Comet.

FYI...Cyberrescudo is running this. Our team is collaborating with CPFi.
