Wait so you're still thinking it's a fake even though it clearly isn't by their own words? You're rather trusting a website that says "News: NO NEWS" since 2011-1-18?
Their site lacks all newer models like RC-23, RC-U8 and RC-39 btw.
You don't have to be a web designer to post a real photo, or to take one. Actually the photos were already taken, since there are photos are of computer monitors. Funny indeed. Maybe it was cheaper this way :)
The conclusion is still that either these crappy lights are fake or Romisen (Mingxing Dongli Electronic Co., Ltd.) the whole company is in fact now a "fake", mostly copying Ultrafire and Trustfire designs using substandard parts. If I gave a crap I would have checked it out when i was at Romisen a few weeks ago but I had far more interesting things to do than checking for some lousy fake flashlights, maybe next time.
Yup , same here. I bought 2 of romisen flashlight from ebay the last 2 weeks and both of them turn out to be fake. I'm so pissed of. Wasting my time waiting.
This light, the RC-R5, is 100% genuine Romisen (read above). I've got two of these, one from KD and the other from ebay and they are absolutely the same. Both of them came in a typical Romisen cardbox (like this or this or this) with the model nr and battery usage printed on a sticker and a small black circle indicating the color.
Low quality and Romisen can very well go hand in hand, just have a look at the very sucky RC-F7 (which can be found on their site, too).
KD is notorious for low quality lights, ebay light are mostly fake. You get what you pay for, do i need to say that again?
It seems like you haven't got a real quality romisen. Try get one from shiningbeam.com or even on dealextreme, then compare them to the fake ones you got.
Looks like I ignited a sh&# storm! Everybody duck!!!! Honestly, I've only owned maybe 4 Romisens ever. Why I call this a fake is because it's not even close in quality to the others I've owned and seen, and because it's sooooooooooooooooo DIM! I mean... give me a break... If that even is an XP-G in there, it must be like - an A2 bin or something!!! I'm not buying it... sorry.... Maybe I should take some current draw readings... if it is an XP-G, it would have to be driven at ~300mA.... It's that freakin' dim!!
Well, I mean... I bought it... well, you get what I meant! :D This thing SUCKS!!!!
Not to mention - NO MODE MEMORY!!! It just comes on in the next mode - no matter what. You could wait 3 days and it will still remember and come on in the very next mode in line... It's like the lotto -you'll never know what you get when you turn this sucker on...
