A non-flashaholic shared this page with me asking me if I’d heard of them but it doesn’t ring any bells. Probably just knock-offs with a laughable price I’m guessing because one or two of them look like sipik clones but I’m not enough of an expert to tell. Thx
Lol “Lightning Distance”… I didn’t even see that. X }
edit: Nevermind. I see that you did type lighting and not “lightning”. Wouldn’t have surprised me if you had…
Yep… many of us are familiar with that rip-off “Heider” brand.
They try to sell a Sipik SK68 clone for a ridiculous $ 50 bucks. ( that CF1 named model on that page.) That bicycle light they are trying to sell for $ 90 plus dollars is the same one we had here recently in a $ 8 dollar Group Buy.
I have this: (got it for $72 then)
And they have this: ($169.90!)
different color head band, but the same light for 12 bucks: http://www.myled.com/p814-cree-t6-1000-lumen-runtime-2-3-hours-led-headlamp-lamp.html
Not again this seller :(
We have a few threads about this shop (most about the Sipik clone). The higher quality Heider looks all like Xeno, which have a good quality, but availalbel for the half price.

Heider CF1 = $10 SIPIK SK68?
Just thought I’d name and shame this website: http://supertorch.eu/ for trying to sell the SIPIK SK68 for 35 euros, they even offer a ‘price match guarantee’ which I have decided to test. They do include a basic 14500 cell and charger, but it annoys me when they start making claims like this: ’Heider CF1 runs on universally-available 3.7 volt alcaline and rechargeable batteries. YOU WILL RECEIVE A 3.7 V BATTERY AND UNIVERSAL CHARGER, ABSOLUTELY FREE, WITH YOUR ORDER! Heider CF1 model with Cre…
Really Heider? they tried to rip off customers !!
Today i browsed around Heider webpage and i found really "interesting" product. HEIDER BBX SUPER POWER TORCH 500M retail $89,90 which is i think re branding flashlight from Xeno F7v6 which cost only $42 including shipping HEIDER AGX ULTRA POWER TORCH 1000M retail $169,90 which is re branding flashlight from Xeno G42 which cost only $95 including shipping.

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…
etc.
Caveat Emptor.
Xeno!
