WARNING: Cometa – read/fix BEFORE inserting battery

Nice project, that will give a stock performance that matches a well modded light :-) How attractive it is will depend on the price..

very nice!

wonder what the final price will be

Very Nice!

The price will be the deciding factor

It’s ToyKeeper’s blf-a6 firmware using an attiny13, correct?
Any chance it’s her bistro firmware on an attiny25 or 45? :heart_eyes:

Yes :slight_smile:

Might as well call it BLF edition with that driver. Members of this forum worked very hard for it and I did not see any mention of them in your review.

The members of CPFItaliaForum know clearly that the driver is made by BLF members.
Is written clearly in technical specifications.
We have simply adopted the best driver for this flashlight and we are very thankful to everybody that have spent their time in processing this wonderful driver :slight_smile:

Still we/the guys from CPI Italia don’t know the price, but currently 180 flashlights are booked ! :smiley:

Aaagh...the cat is out of the bag! Our sample should be here next week . Estimated cost will be $45. The goal is to reach 500 units combined.

Cyberesudo has worked very hard on this over at CPFi. The light is officially named the CPFi Comet (English translation)

While we have no official affiliation between BLF and CPFi, they do in fact support us in our group buys so the least we can do is support them. Afterall, we all have the same problem. LOL

Once the sample gets here (one of only two), and it should essentially be a final sample sans engraving (but not 100% sure), I will post a review, as will JM, Kronos, etc. etc. From what I have seen so far...this thing is going to be a winner. Savings over stock unit, BLF driver, and XPL Hi...all in a quality zoom with at least 200kcd

If interested please post so Cyberescudo can start a list here for BLF members.

Actually I don't think all the issues have been worked out w/bistro on the 25, but haven't heard any new news for a while.

Sounds like an awesome group buy though, great job on getting it together. I really like my JAX Z1 at 216 kcd and ~1300 lumens (resistor mod on stock driver, de-domed XM-L2 U4 1C).

$45 shipped would be attractive

Perhaps it's the angle of the pic in OP, but does the lens still have that sexy AR coating like a stock Z1? Or is it a different coating?

Looks like Neal has had another run of the A6 drivers made, this time in Black. Maybe that means a new manufacturer with better quality control than before?

Is the Z1 a slide-to-zoom light? I never paid attention before.

No, it is a rotating zoom. The UI is not TK's Bistro. It is just like the A6.

$45 shipped is where we are going. CPFi already has 170 on the list. 330 at BLF should be a piece of cake. ;)

Double AR coating.

Now at CPFItalia we have 184 on the list. :slight_smile:

I' m in - throw me on the list for 1x 1A!

;-)

Interested in 2x CW “1A”

Thank You

This sound perfect :smiley:

I'm in

Hi,
How does this compare to the Convoy L2 in terms of light throw…
