I hadn't seen that; not surprising, though. Talking of Chinese quality; I've just received a Chinese torch that cost under 10usd with free shipping. It supposedly uses a T6 LED and runs of a single lithium cell. I was out playing with it last night - begods it's powerful, easily lighting up the road for at least 150yds and would have been much further but for a slight mist. Stripping it down reveals nicely finished machining and a reasonable amount of care taken during assembly. Medium and Low modes are more than adequate for normal use and of course demand less of the battery.
