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

Ya, hope that it is good quality old stock. We can easily fix the issue with klapton tape.

Actually the old link stock count went up to 20+ and 50+ for CW and NW for short while in last few days, but it get corrected, not sure how many people noticed this. Looks like BG found out it doesn’t include the 26650 battery.

Are you saying these issues are now fixed in the current Cometas being sold? How did you know that?

300kcd is amazing! How hard is it to dedome an XPG2?

Ha Ha, I’ll bet you that BG knows exactly who is buying all these lights as well, a sudden surge in sales after years of trying to sell these, they finally got the magic number but free would have been better.
The fixes are not hard at all, I posted a link back a bit to YouTube and they will show you exactly what to look for,
Funny how BG is playing with the stock and really stupid frankly they are selling that light for that price and give you a free cell that costs almost as much as the light, weird…?

I am speculating, mainly because the company, as I wrote about two posts up is not doing business with BG any longer and they would have had to make new ones and these are a clones of the Jaxman’s Z1 and there was Holly Hell that broke loose in China when these came out, and this is the same old page from the GB and with some of the original reviews from 2016 all with the same warnings,

And BG’s only warning is as follows:
Note:Please attention the battery head,don’t use too big of the battery positive head.

That will help somebody out for sure, makes a lot of sense to me anyhow… ha ha, too big battery head don’t do this or what happens…?? Idiots…

And on this page they are including the insulator ring, but that was to fix only one of a few potential issues.

How much did these go for in the initial group buy?

I bought two at this crazy low price. Will be good for future project light host.

I forget and I just went to look at my past orders and they are all deleted, they don’t want that stuff laying round I guess.
Also just noticed my order from yesterday say “back ordered” well that’s BS because they are now selling them on the other page, I guess it dawned on them just how stupid it was to throw in a $13 cell with a $15 light so now they’ll claim it’s back ordered.
I’m going to cancel the one and order from the other page without the cell, they claimed there was nearly a 100 of them in stock, but they are notorious liars as well.

Edit: Went to cancel and the pop up said I can’t, oh well BS on that and I’ve had hundreds of fights with BG and haven’t lost yet, I will contact PP in a second and let them know of the fraud they are pulling.

Is it you bought it earlier than yesterday but didn’t pay until yesterday?
BG does not handle customization on orders to put one 26650 in those without cell, I think they just follow SKU numbers and ship out from warehouses.

I was looking at that light for a long time. In EU warehouse the light was 27$ and with cell 32$ but it was not the killer price. But now :partying_face: could not resist (i have to stop buying flashlights that i do not need!!!). To bad that i missed the one with the battery!
But this light was really missing in my Aspheric collection. UF1504, Cometa/Z1, 1508-50/75 . . . . some smaller builds with max 20mm fixed lens.

Thanks for letting us know about the promotion T18 !!!

Currently Lens are glass or plastic?

Mine says shipped with the batteries.

Hey mate I’m not sure but apparently they where fixed when the group buy was on as we where told by banggood. I have one of the original cometas not fixed and mine was okay. But either way its an easy diy fix.
Dedoming a XPG2 is super easy just leave it in petrol for a few hours and the dome will fall off. My cometa out throws my B158.

Hmmm… My order says “processing”…
They did ship the free 2x 18650.

Still NOT sold out. 2x ordered. :smiley:

It said in stock when I ordered then went straight to backorder.

I cancelled mine, best check your orders status.

Same here I guess they don’t want to send with 26650 cell so they hold the light and wait for us to cancel it by the refund menu in the order detail , then create a new page to sell light without 26650 cell.

Settle down people! They sent mine today with the 26650 included and even shipped some 18650s with the light as well.

When did you order ? Mine was on 20 Sep but still processing even through “ship in 24 hr” when order.

My order was placed 2 days ago, and still shows “back order”

Mine took slightly more than 24hr from processing to shipped.
