Finally someone has named and shamed this website!
I fell for supertorch.eu after seeing the website advertised on the ads on facebook!
As I have an addiction for purchasing gadgets, namely Torches! I decided to go ahead and purchase this too!
I was shocked when I decided to ebay the torch after using the search term ‘cree Q5 LED’ that I found exactly the same product for a 1/3rd of the price!!
So I decided to write a letter of complaint to info@supertorch.eu
Please see below email i sent them!
Dear Sir/Madam
I have recently purchased a Heider CF1 from your website supertorch.eu
I would like to say that as much as I am happy with the product itself, I am very disappointed and upset at how much I have had to pay to purchase the item.
After conducting research on various different websites it has come to my attention that I could have purchased exactly the same item at a much lower price than which I paid with you!
I paid £33.38 to purchase the torch from your website when I could have paid £8.99 including delivery for exactly the same product (please see below link)

I could have also purchased two torches for £16.04 which is less than half the price that I paid for your product ( see below link)

The materials used are exactly the same and the weight and size are same too, the only difference is the name on the side of the torch which you have labelled Heider CF1 Super torch.
There are other websites such as Amazon who also provide the same torch at a lower cost.
Please could you advise me of your reasons for the price which you have set for your torch?
As I believe I have been misinformed by your website and price for your product.
I am a hardworking individual who has purchased this item at the price mentioned above but am deeply upset that I have paid almost 3 times the price to purchase the item.
email ends here
So…
This is the torch I have recently bought, still awaiting the item!

as soon as I have it I will let you know how it compares to the so called Heider CF1 supertorch!
The other issue is the whole Lithium battery subject, some of the above links i have contacted the sellers who advise that their torches which are exact replica of the Heider CF1 are not designed for the 14500 LI batteries but the above link said they do, so watch this space!
