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

Maybe they have finished 26650 :weary:
Does battery is already inserted on this light during ship?
I hope not, can be dangerous…

My order status updated “back order”.

Normally if a light is shipped with a battery inside there is a protective plastic cover over one side of the battery that must be peeled off.

They are two different product, one with cell and one without cell.
But BG is still selling the one with cell at link below while many have back order.

I ordered both, for the same price :person_facepalming:
I didn’t saw that the second one didn’t include the free 26650…
Anyway, I don’t really expect them to actually ship them to be honest

My Cometa 3B tint without the battery is now also on Back Order. Aslong the light arrives ( someday ) i am happy.

Well just checked my order status,

Still the light with the cell sits, but I guess they’re moving them out, relieved I don’t have to deal with CS.

Ordered one. It seems to be too good to be true, but BG could also just empty their inventory.

Ordered Sep/22/2018 showed processing until today. Now shows back order. :person_facepalming:

The two I ordered shipped! Thank god!

They are out of the Vappower cells that was included in the other light so that is what is keeping those from shipping, just got a message from BG and offered a trade of equal value for them to determine for some extra lighted tail switches, told them I don’t want the cell.

Edit: No deal, so got refunded

I ordered a 3B without battery yesterday. When I did, the listing said there were 50 in stock (but only ~8 of the 1A version).

Now my order shows that the light is backordered, but if I click on the product link, it shows that they are still available for order, not backordered. My order also shows the expected ship date as today.

We’ll see what actually happens.

Ya eas, they are a bit behind the curve, I ordered two with cell and two without and it was all messed up but today they did ship the two without the cells.
They messaged me about the 2 cells and lights, asked me what I wanted to do, tried to make a deal but no good so canceled for refund no problems.

Edit: They did make an offer of another light, a for real $15.99 light, looked like the one on TV that the guy has the truck run over in the mud…? No thanks,
Sorry about that to personal question eas…!
Never thought posting this light deal would end up like this 100+ posts, probably keep my finds to myself in the future to save everyone the headaches, sorry.

Listing with cells is alive, took my additional order just fine, so will see what happens.

I’d be tickled if I could get the 26650s, but even if not, wonder what they’d offer in exchange. Decent 18650s?

What is so special about this light? Why are people going nuts over it? Is it the low price or something else that I’m missing? How long will it maintain turbo output level?

I’ve always associated zoomies with the silly little things like the ‘68s and ’98s, but this is a big honkin’ one that could probably deliver some decent light at a distance even with a lousy 30–35 OTF efficiency when zoomed.

Yeah, I noticed the stated 198000cd beam intensity (890 meters). Not sure how accurate.

Well, I love my :-D ≈20W at the emitter modified SK98 with boost driver, very pocket friendly but it wastes the stock switches ludicrously. Right now waiting for some Omten PBS1288CUs which I'll need to settle inside somehow.

Cheers :-)

I ordered two , one with battery and one without.

The one without shipped this morning.

I bought the original cometa it’s a great zoomy torch at its first price at this price it’s a bargain.

I had a chat with CS and they said back order is because item is out of stock and should be in stock in 3 days.

I ordered flashlight+battery.
