WARNING: Cometa – read/fix BEFORE inserting battery

Between the two forums...this is almost half way there.

The size of this thing is one of the things that I find very cool and what made me take a look. Here are some pics to illustrate:

More pics are also available Unknown00101's review

For those that are unaware or do not remember...Unknown00101 was one of the original people that reviewed the X6 ;)

Cyberescudo, please put me down for one in CW. Thank you.

G'Day Signor Cyberescudo,

I am currently on the list at:

4 Keengeorge

Please make it a NW (But would prefer a 5A tint)

Thank you Very Much,

George

Please set me on the list!

Have to have it!!!

Thank You

Thomas

I’m in for one NW please.

Interesting, but several questions.

Will the light be made by the original manufacturer or will it be redone by e.g. Manker (the double spring design reminds me of Manker)?

What about the heat transfer? Is there no problem with the two threaded tubes and the pill design?

I know it is difficult to get good neutral bins, but I would really prefer 3B, 3C, 4B, 4C, or even 5B over the 3A tint, because 3A is above the Plancian Black Body Line (more green) and I fear that the thick glass of the cheap lens is already slightly green.

Is it easy to scratch the AR-Coating of the lens? What about a lens cover? (EDIT: I see a cover is included)

Paste or glue? I read the Jax Z1 MPCPCB is glued in.

Is an 18650 adapter included or will a 18650 cell fit without adapter?

Will Banggood also offer a discount code for a good 26650 battery?

In the CPFitalia review it was measured with 171000 cd and the Keepower 26650, why is it now advertised with 198000 cd? Is the LG HE2 so much better?

We at BLF do not have our sample yet but I will try and help with what I know.

1. The light wil be manufactured by Zax

2. I do not know about heat transfer but CPFItalia has more info..see the link in the OP

3. Cyberescudo is working on a battery deal

4. Unfortunately XPL Hi emitters have a limited availability as we found with the X6/X5 group buy. Cyberescudo has the available emitters listed in his review that is linked in the OP.

Yes I see, as much as I like a neutral tint, but the 1A offer seems less likely to be greenish.

One more. :wink:

If the MCPCB is glued in, this example (picture from the CPFitalia review) does not look optimal centered.
I have no experience with an aspheric flashlight, but this should have an influence on the artifacts and throw or am I wrong?

Thanks and regards, Juergen

I think you have the A, D and B, C tints backwards?

I modded this Lamp many times.
I have one with a BLF A6 driver and XM-L2 dedomed on noctigon.
The other runs on a LD-2 driver with a XP-G2 also on noctigon.

And I can tell you that there is no Problem with the heat transfer.

You get this light with a MT-G2 and XHP-50 LED on Ali.
Even these lamps seem to have no Problems.

The setup of the Cometa ist the best you can get for the JAX Z1 at the moment. - in my Opinion

This is why I will buy one und mod the old one into a XHP-50 Zoom-Monster.

Very good to know some other favorable experiences. Thank you!

Ciao, come stai?
Any one got a review in English seeing as my Italian is not the best lol
I can translate some into Australian English if need be?

put me down for one please with the 1A tint

If you use Google Chrome it will give you an option to translate.

But I have one question:

The new BLF A6 drivers you can get at BG step down from turbo to the next lower mode after 36 seconds (!!!) instead of 45 seconds.
This would make absolutely no sense in this light.

Has this driver also a stepdown afert 36 seconds instead of the 45 seconds of the “original” BLF driver?
Because there seems to be a problem with the off-time-condensator of the newer drivers…

Thanks for sharing this offer! :smiley:

+1 :quest:

I honestly have no idea. Maybe they had OTC issue, or changed the OTC, or maybe even goofed the flash of the UI. I cannot say what would cause that (TK does all of that for us ;) ).

For the CPFi Zax though, I highly doubt there is a 30 sec step down but Cyberescuso's review may say if there even is any stepdown. His review is easy to read if one uses Google Chrome or even Firefox to translate. Hopefully he will be visiting later.

Just an FYI...our review sample will be shipping this coming week. Hopefully it is coming DHL. Everyone can be sure it will get put through its paces but if anybody visits CPFi they will see this is something that Cyberescudo has been working on for a while so most of if not all of the leg work is done.

The heat transfer is optimal in this flashlight.
The brass pill and the dissipating mass around this help greatly the heat transfer to the surrounding environment. I can add that the threads of the zooming mechanism act like a dissipator (in throw position) because the surface of heat exchange is increased.

The xp-l high intensity is relatively new on market so some bins are still in shortage.
At this time are available 1A and 3B but there is possibility to have a BIN with lower color temperature in the next future.
Cheap lens ??? The aspherical lens of the COMETA is outstanding thanks to the double AR treatment and the construction in borosilicate K9 glass with refractive index of 1,52.

Application of a layer of a quality termoconductive paste between pill and the MCPCB. There is a cover (see the review) in anodized alluminium the fix in place centering the mcpcb.

The 18650—>26650 is widely available in the market at around 1 buck.
Yo can use also a piece of sponge to fix in place the 18650 so that you don’t have any “maracas effect” :bigsmile:

Like Bugsy said we are working on battery discount.

The LG HE2 is an IMR battery so has a lower internal resistance that permits a higher current flow.
A protected battery has a lower attitude to deliver higher current because has the PCB that acts like a “bottleneck”.

The review’s sample has a turbo step-down of 50 sec.

Thanks a lot Bugsy for your support in answer the questions of members :wink:

Far Thrower CW 1A please.

Please put me in for one of each in CW & NW.
Thanks

One in NW please
Thanks
