click bait. Lights with extra’s don’t ship out but the “bare” lights still get sold with all the commotion going on around here.
My 1A tint says shipped Sep 26.
Arguably, Jaxman Z1 became CPFItalia Cometa 2016.
No, I do not want to argue.
Some of the Cometa had problems fairly easy to solve; maybe these too.
Here CPF member KeepingItLight entry #9 explains 3 potential problems so well, it almost fixes them for you.
Hmm, so that’s why I got hit in the head with a rock…
:person_facepalming: LMAO!
:+1:
Wow, it actually landed. :laughing:
Yup. The freebie 26650 is shipped in the light in a small plastic bag, no 18650 gift 
Looks like they fixed at least one problem
Love the 3B, the 1A is HARSH
The thick oring on the bottom came in the 3B. Couldn’t tighten the tailcap enough to get a circuit so had to use one of the spares, top.
The threads were freshly greased so guessing the original oring had deteriorated. Took the bezel off and dropped the lens! Small chip. The bezel oring was cactus so will replace that later. Now to watch vids and read up on the problems and fixes to see if they sorted everything. Any quick tops on how to get the top off?
Wait… what?
Naw, I meant the joke.
Sillen, you got your light already? When did u order, and when did it ship? Lighted tailcap?
thanks for your post and pictures!

Freaked out for a second there and wondered how you knew my name even though you spelled it wrong 
Swedes generally spell it Patrik.
But yes, three days!

It only just made it to Australia yesterday. Hopefully deliver Monday.
I know, just playin
Edit: Between office and home one of the switches has gone belly up. Once I tighten the tail cap, the light is always on, the button light doesn’t work and modes change via percussion, no reaction to button press. Swap tail caps from my 2nd light and it’s all good.
Reply just now from Linda:
“Sorry for the wrong stock information
We are sorry to inform you that our supplier has not delivered to us the following item(s) on time.
Item1: [SKU406084]XPL HI 1300LM Foucsing LED Flashlight Suit Vappower 26650 Battery[ Design;3B]———— Out of stock now.
Predicted restock date: 2 to 3 weeks.”
I said I’ll wait. Its not like I urgently need another flashlight, but the withdrawal symptoms may be a problem.
I wonder if I ever get my flashlights. I ordered one with battery on Sep 22 2018 it’s still back order.
Yesterday I made an order for one without the battery, later that day I got an e-mail from Banggood CS from “Kaka” requesting additional $17.23 in shipping fee, I promptly e-mailed back asking why suddenly the shipping is so expensive. I never got a reply but I just got the same e-mail as yesterday.
Well dang… Mine is on back order now…
Got my refund according to Paypal.
Those who got order changed from backorder to shipped, do your order page had refund option when this item was backorder?
I straight away applied for refund when refund option showed up, thinking to avoid hassle discussing with CS who would just tell me nice story.
SHIPPED ! 
Yep.
Thanks , good to know! My previous backorder experience was wasting time waiting.
mine shows shipped too. let’s hope it will not get unshipped again :party:
Shipped and now i got also tracking information! It really left the building :partying_face:
And the new LED (huge thanks to DB Custom) a SBT-70 is also on its way. Driven by a LD-A4 @12Amps.
My dream zoomie for a long time!
How does SBT-70 perform relative to XPL-HI in terms of lumens and intensity?
I do not think it will outperform the new leds in any kind. But what this beauty can, is giving you a nice perfectly round beam. No square hotspots, no donut holes, no x in the middle. Simple a beautifull round beam.
We are not 100% sure what bin. . . the led is but DB Custom thinks it could be a Daylight White Standard CRI (typ. 90). But aslong it is a white led i am happy that he send me his last one.
The light emitting area is 7mm².
