Re: DealExtreme U2 clone review (Lux version)
Personally, I think you're doing a great service by posting this review, and I applaud you for doing such.
(I'll justify my position, lest the mob mentality accuse me of "supporting" this light's sale and call for my permanent ban :sigh: )
I feel this way for a few reasons:
1) you have clearly shown through pictures and text the differences between the knock-off and the authentic Surefire.
In the future, this will allow people who don't know any better to compare the light they got and know if it's authentic or a knock-off.
2) you have shown the lights performance, allowing people to make an informed decision.
Without your review, people would not have as much information. People may now buy the light because of that information, or they may decide to pass on the light when they would have otherwise bought it out of curiosity.
3) information is never a bad thing, and I believe in freedom to make informed decisions.
There are plenty of people around here who would advocate completely ignoring this light in the hopes it will go away. Others want people to know about it so they will go out and lynch those who made it.
I believe that people should be allowed to make their own informed choices, and that the more information they have, the better they will be able to choose.
By providing information, you have helped, not hurt.
