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

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.

Just got a message from bg that my without-batteries was out of stock. It was marked as shipped yesterday.

from back order to system in processing

Wow, what a charlie foxtrot…

Wonder if I’ll get either.

maybe it will be ‘pending’’ tomorrow :slight_smile:

glad I got my order in early, and it was shipped.

My order (no batteries) just went from back order to shipped :slight_smile:

If I click on this light, I get 27$ from the UK warehouse, teeny-tiny in the corner stands the option “Other Warehouse” for 15.99$ like I bought it…
And no way to get to the product page for the light from China, so I can’t see if it is in stock or not.

Back ordered for me btw.
ordered yesterday 19:00 or 7PM GMT+2

Ok. No processing at all. Went from Payment being verified to Back Order and now its shipped.
A few hours ago i tried to change my order from without battery to the version with battery. But support told me that it is not possible at the moment (they have to process the payment first). And i should ask in a few hours again.
And it should be no problem because both have same price.
I better not saying anything about that statement. I am not liking it to get fu… over. It is still a unreal price for this light but with battery it would have been a even better price :smiley:

just sharing my purchase. Bought on 9/20. Received e-mail from Banggood on 9/21 that it shipped. On my account on Banggood’s webpage it says shipped on 9/24 :wink:

Banggood finally put a note on the product with cell page as below. My order placed yesterday is still back order. Not sure I will get a what-to-do button soon.

Wellp, both my orders are back-ordered, so we’ll see…

Don’t worry T18. There are many here who enjoy good deals you and other BLF members shared. Internet shopping is full of unknowns especially clearance sales.

Request Refund option shows up in my order page, so I choose for refund. Now it is refund processing.

And now Banggood says mine has shipped. I guess we’ll see when the tracking code actually shows the carrier has it in hand.

Finally, mine shows shipped, but I have no confidence in that at this point.
