[EU] Free Cometa with BLF A6 or ThorFire TG06S

Looks like they find some more flashlight sometime, deal alive again :slight_smile:

Ok, Just nabbed one - Thanks XXX-Man

Now can someone remind me what I need to do to this Cometa so it doesn’t burn my house down? :slight_smile:

Nothing really, they’ve added a plastic washer for the positive spring and if it bothers you, you can put some tape over the contacts on the LED PCB.
The LED retaining ring is anodized so it shouldn’t short but it’s not a lot of effort to put some tape on it.

Thank you XXX-Man, just ordered the thorfire with cometa.

It’s crazy, after several weeks I visit BLF again and five minutes later I’ve bought TWO more flashlights in the middle of the night. :person_facepalming:

Are these Cometas safe to use or is there still a problem that needs to be fixed?
And what is the best recent LED to mod the Cometa?

@XXX-Man: Thanks! :wink:

I’m in the US, so no love this time. But yeah, we seem to get way more deals than other countries.
Glad you guys finally got a good deal just for you. :+1:

I think what djozz mentioned, nicknamed Osram white flat. There are two:

OSRAM KW CSLNM1.TG (1mm2)
&
Osram KW CSLPM1.TG (2mm2)

Hint: 1mm2 is N

BLF Thread Osram white flat

There isn’t led tint free choise option for the ThorFire TG06S right?
Wich color K is stock led?

Not sure, but I think around 5500K.

Thanks for getting me spend money… Oh well, got thorfire and comet bomb for 14.22 € with shipping. Thanks guys!

You have so spend money somewhere, so better to spend it on a good deal :slight_smile:

Looks like deal is still alive :slight_smile:

Yep, the deal still alive. Honestly I wasn’t expecting it to still be available since this is what I call a bargain. But surprisingly I’ve just managed to purchase Thor with Cometa.
Thank you BG for this really appealing deal.

Likewise, I was not expecting it to still be on, but after telling myself I didn’t need more, I succumbed and just ordered both deals :slight_smile:

Looks like they just want Cometa to leave warehouse. I guess stock was high and didn’t sell well bcause problems.

I can’t believe it’s still alive.

Feeling a bit awkward, because I definitely needed NO more lights.
But an invisible hand pressed my finger on the “pay” button, after wich BG managed to add some €2.27 extra.

Nevertheless, €13.69 for two lights, shipping and mandatory insurance isn’t all that bad.
And maybe the Cometa will turn out to be a very fine light-sabre.

EDIT:
Yes I feel sorry for you guys in the USA.
But I felt the same emotions for some of those great deals on Amazon.com that could not be shipped to EU.

Hmmmm …
So I searched for the Cometa and one of the first things I found:
WARNING! Do NOT Purchase the 2016 CPF Italia COMETA from BangGood - YouTube (“WARNING! Do NOT Purchase the 2016 CPF Italia COMETA from BangGood”)

I guess most people think its fine if you basically get the Cometa for free, but I would toss this if someone gave it to me.

I’m not going to watch the entire video again but people overreacted a lot when it came out.

Yes, it wasn’t built according to spec (shame on BG and the group buy) but neither is the price now, they fixed the potential short when using unreasonably long cells by adding a plastic washer and the potential short on the LED retaining ring… well, it hasn’t happened to me and i’ve screwed it off and on many times to mod, no scratches in the anodization creating a short.

I’d toss any ultrafires people gave me too, yet the SK98 is a popular host here.

My experience with the Cometa… good stock despite only cool white being available, smooth threads, no burrs. nice beefy pill (takes ages for a Luxeon MZ to heat it up at 12A) flawless anodization, no bubbles/scratches in/on the lens.

Most of the Cometa feels well-built but I don’t like how that nice lens is mounted, if you tighten the bezel more than moderate, it can crack.

This was fixed later and it now has plastic ring around LED, not metal so no shorts, also plastic ring around positive connection on driver and no problem there.
Not the best fix, but I believe it is safe and other people say the same.

I would never post a deal if I didn’t think it was safe for use!

All items now on backorder for me :person_facepalming:
