Saw a link on my Facebook account that took me here

Are they serious? 40 Euro for a Sipik clone? Or am I missing something obvious here?
And if you look at the beamshots on the site, how does an aspheric have a spot/flood pattern like a reflector light?
If you ask me, this is a marketing scam targeting ignorant consumers.
We usually pay 5-10 times extra for “Western items” made in China so nothing odd about it.
You can search BLF, because there was someone that bought one of them for about that price. I wasn’t really happy to seem them being sold on eBay for only $6
That sells Sipiks on Kijiji for a profit too, makes me kinda sick to see
It does come with a shyte battery and charger
My friend has that light, it includes battery and charger in a gift box.
He has purchased about 30$ including 18% VAT.
It is a perfect sipik clone, I think it is made for this company by sipik.
it works well with ni-mh and also 14500.
I must say that it was the first sk68 I have seen, so impressed.
I have now two different sk68, one of them sipik branded red version.
It’s not turbocharged, it’s pretty much a scam.
I saw this advertisement a while back on facebook aswell. I think its really bad to sell a light at this price, just because the average consumer doesn’t know he could get the same light for ~5$ from eBay . . .
But then again take a look at the lights you can get from your local electronics store, they are probably as expensive and aren’t any brighter. Legally they aren’t doing anything wrong, nobody is forced to buy this light at this shop, so if you are too lazy to search on google, its probably what you pay for.
The beamshots on the other hand are fakes, and there is nothing to defend it. It simply is impossible to get such a beam from a zoomable aspheric lens!
