It arrived today bottom line is it's an RC-C6 AA model. A single mode and does NOT work on 14500 :(. Output is less than my "Goingear" RC-C6 "upgraded model"

A little dissapointed that it is a single mode and wont work with a 14500 but I guess I knew what to expect. I'll post some pictures as soon as I figure out how to but basically take the top and bottom pictures in the description and you'll have it

I didn't check my mail yet but we have legitimate grounds for complaint if they didn't even bother to put a fake "RC-29" on the side. :D I'll contact the seller when I open mine.

If your's has modes and works with the 14500. I sent them an email explaining the issues but mentioned nothing about it be a fake. They offered to swap it out with another one after I send the faulty one back to them.

I guess I knew going in that it was a fake and am ok with that. I would be ok with the light IF it worked as advertised.

Keep me posted on your's

25

Yeah, it's not a "fake" per se, but rather more "not as described". If they had sold this as a RC-C6 AA then I wouldn't as much of problem with it, but it's supposed to be a RC-29. Anyway, I'll keep you posted.

Ok, the light came and I got the same thing. Current draw is weak with only 0.8A on half full nihm, and it shows vs 3A on rc-29. If it were at least close to 2a, it would be comparable, but it's dim I thought it was broken when turned on. Build quality is ok (tail glued), but a step down. I'm definitely going to complain about this.

27

SecaRob, I complained to the seller that it's not a rc-29 and he offered to refund 60%. So, now the deal is for RC-C6 @ $4. :)

28

So where can you purchase a "real" Rc-29?
