I have never seen a Jax Z1, a cometa, nor a sample in person.
Judging from the pictures comments from CPF and BLF members, the differences are enlightened in the first post.
- No jaxman
- Wobbly threads
- undeperforming lens
- undersized wires
- ovrsized driver housing
- shorting in a couple of points
- DOA
While some safety issues may be addressed (insulating pill, insulating led baseplate), I still have to see a reliable solution for keeping the driver still in the bigger pill; the wobbly threads can be an pratically solved with o-rings (a solution that some members of CPF came up with), changing the wire will lead to more current but the less performing lens is an issue that would be resolved only with a new, quality lens.
So, there are a lot of things that can be done. I have some hand skills around lights and I could address some problems if BangGood solves it.
For example, I could make myself the washers, make less wobbly soldering, change the wires.
But not everyone can do it, and SURELY no member here bought a DIY light. Members payed for a fully working light and should not spend time and money fixing.
A possible solution may be BG supplying a new fully assembled pill with Driver-led-wires, washers and o-rings for the thread.
So the members WHO WOULD LIKE to keep the light, could get a safely working light AND receive a partial refound (for the trouble and the lens).
Or they could add the lens, increasing the performance of the light and thus reducing the “damage” done to the users.
This kit will increase the performance and can resurrect the dead cometa of the members.
However, members who don’t want to know anymore about the cometa, should get a full refound.
In the message above stated that he hasn’t made a claim and he won’t. I do believe he still should getting something.
It’s absurd to say: members, don’t do anything about your cometa yet; and I’m not gonna do it.
However I’ve red about different experiences with the paypal claims: someone got money back quickly, other slowly and throught hundreds of pics and videos and others have been asked to return the light.
Some say to boycott Bg… but what does it means? Cometa members will not buy anymore from BG? No more BG groupbuys at all on BLF and CPFItalia?
I’d like to come to a deal with BG so all the users will work things out quicker and smoother.
Toghether we can move the needle of the balance more than singularly.
This is my belief.
Me and other members of the staff are coming up with new proposals and writing to BG in order to sort things out.
We are making them kind proposal… and other things. We want solution for all the cases stated above.
We will update you when we have relevant news.
