I have two Cometas that need new lenses and o-rings.
Any chance there might be spare parts or salvage lights around somewhere?
I use these daily and hate to park them.
My frugality demands that I give a shout out first.
If you need lenses, flashlightlens.com has many sizes. Just measure your existing lens to see what size you need. As for O-rings. They’re probably metric o-rings (I was never a part of the original group buy so I have no clue). If you have a set of calipers, it’s likely they’re generic sizes.
Good ideas. At least a place to start. Thanks!
I got two in a box somewhere - one worked the other didn’t - but never got around to making them safe. GB Clone Offically "SOLD OUT" 10/21/18 XPL HI 1300LM Focusing AKA Cometa 2016 - #176 by Sillen
Freight from Australia - not so good. Might have to dig them out and play
The lenses have been sold separately by Jaxman at some point, so maybe someone has one around.
The irony is that flashlightlens.com sells windows, not lenses. The Cometa has an aspheric lens, not a window. Windows serve as an environmental barrier while allowing light to pass through relatively unimpeded. Lenses typically have at least one curved surface and are used to converge or diverge light.
