Mine is not fake. The build quality is every bit as exceptional as anything I’ve seen or read in any of the reviews, and the UI functionality is spot-on. The star even has a designation on it that relates to another Sunwayman XM-L light which is something else I’ve also noticed in other reviews. Seems like they get a bunch of LEDs put on stars for particular manufacturing runs and have a tendency to reuse leftovers in other products. Mine is a T21CS, and here we have a V60C designation instead: Review: Sunwayman D40A 4xAA XM-L2 Flashlight
Both are definitely model numbers for other Sunwayman products.
