“Yea, and i say unto thee verily: ”thou shalt rebrand thy lights that shalt be made by lesser peoples, and thou shalt brand them as your own, and thou shalt exaggerate thy claims. Thy Lumens shalt be biblical lumens, with each and every lumen reckoned as TEN LUMENS. And thy meters of beam distance, shalt be biblical meters, with each and every meter reckoned as TEN METERS. Such is my word.” (Cree T6)
It is awfully sad of course but on the trustpilot website Metem/Heider only gets an average of 3.1 points on a 0-10 scale. Most complaints are about the really-really-really all-in prices that are subject to import-duties because Metem ships these lights from Turkey (a non-EU country). And because these duties are based upon (fake) high prices, you pay (real) high duties to customs. After you received the light.
My Heider is still going. I’m not sure but it may have lost some of it’s brightness. Or this could be due to cheap worn out batteries.
Since my last posting I have purchased a few more lights. Since it’s obvious the members hear have a collective wealth of flashlight knowledge, I would like your opinions of these lights I have purchased. 2 Eagtac T25C2 (first one swam to the bottom of the river), Eagtac SX30, and an Olight M2X-UT Javelot.
I brought this torch years ago and it is an awesome torch, all those saying it is a scam without owning it have no clue.
I have brought other “super” torches rated and reviewed to be better than the Heider CFX but were no where near it.
I will get a photo of its beam tonight.
I seen the posts saying the torch was no good but I knew different and so answered but did not know how old the thread was.
necro’ed? more like resurrected.
I think it's okay to necro a thread on BLF, but when I do it I usually start with "Necrobump!" so that no one will complain about me necroing a thread.
I typically do that if I revive a thread that hasn't had a post for 6 months or more.
Thanks for reviving the thread. What does “necro” mean btw?
It’s been 6 years+ since the date of thread creation and I am still (kinda) around lol.
With today’s LEP technology this kind of beam distance is achievable…or more like surpass-able with a head diameter as small as that.
Even with the Osram NM1 it is probably still possible or close to that.
Imagine where will we be after another 6 years?
Stay safe and healthy! So that we can continue to witness the advancement of flashlight!
