Rip OFF Lights

Just to let everyone know to stay away from www.supertorch.eu
Bought one of their Heider CF1 super lights and was ripped off.
This is because the battery charger is equipped with two round pins to plug into the wall socket.I kow this is common in Europ but here in N. Anerica (Canada) we use two flat pins as standard wall sockets.
I wrote to the vendor and received a reply “we will forward this to our tech department and get back to you right away”
Well its been 4 weeks now and guess what! No reply!
I have sent several more mails but all go unanswered.
Please do not get suckered like I did.
Cheers!

I am sorry to say this, but you got ripped off anyway.

That is because the torch they sell is actually a Sipik SK68, which is available from chinese vendors for very little money.

The whole package is to expensive: You can get all things (the flashlight, charger and battery for under $15 within shipping).

Here is a thread about it (started 09/2012).

Ouch. Please tell me this is an April Fools joke. Please?
That light can be had for under $6.

Picture clearly shows an europe plug, its an european web site, what did you expect? I dont think you got ripped off, you just weren’t paying attention, happens to all of us at some point. Live and learn!

Welcome to the forum

The picture of the charger clearly shows an EU plug.

I am wondering if that post was a drive by, why would you register just to badmouth a seller…

That would be very “unCanadian”.

If only you guys knew how bad the German on that site is. Chinese english got no chance compared to that. :D

The domain holder is from Istanbul. It's probably chinese english transgoogled to turkish, then to german ;-)

Transgoogled. Nice one. :D

Surely there is a cheap plugin adaptor somewhere….

Turgese? A Turk translating German for the Chinese.

That light clearly deserves a $350 Monster Cable ultra-pure oxygen free nanoquantum adapter.

Don’t forget the charger and batteries :smiley:
“Oh sure, they’ll fit fine” :wink:

WOW, free shipping!

Nope; $26.95 shipped to Can. I bought two sets and sent them a message to bundle and see if I can save some shipping :wink:

But the pictures are authentic, that's surely the same thing as saying the product is authentic, right? I mean, they are both words and start with the letter P.

There is.

He is embarrassed to reply.
