This looks very similar to the Eddie Bauer torch in my post earlier today - only shorter in length.
Here is the translated version of the site.http://translate.google.com/translate?h l=en& sl=de&u=http://www.axsinia.de/&prev=/search%3Fq%3DAxsinia.de%26hl%3Den%26newwindow%3D1

These are just the often mentioned LED Lenser lights. The Website is full of big mouth statements.
Why not take the English version?

This is built in China by a German company called Zweibrueder....http://www.zweibrueder.com/
They are famous for their "knock off's" of other brands of lights, knives, and multi tools.

Anyone having bought one of these neat little lights can find the LR-44 batteries at Target also. They are normally in the office stationary section hung up next to the laser pointers that they also sell.
6 LR-44's for 1.99.
Not too bad.

They're for sale over here in the USA but the advertisement seems over "hyped". Check it out: Lifestyle Fascination
What exactly is a "Photon tube"? Don't they mean "White LED w/lens"? Anyway looks pretty cool though.

That's what I meant with 'big mouth statements'. They write as if they have invented a completely new technology.
All of their lights are just a few batteris and a LED.

Imagine a leak "photon pump", light would spill out all over the place

Check out the description on this "torch".

"Computer chip diodes instead of bulbs. Up to 200-hour battery life. Extra wide AND focused beam. Lifetime guarantee. Shockproof. Water resistant. Virtually indestructible. Up to 10X brighter than other lights. Anodized metal cases."
Ok, let's dissect this just a bit.
1: Computer chip diodes?
I guess they've never been to my website before, because they don't even know they're called LEDs. :-O
2: Extra wide AND focused beam?
Now how can that be? It's either one or the other.
3: Up to 10x brighter than other lights?
Must be using Luxeon Star LEDs.
But that $14.95 pricetag disagrees.
And check out this wording:
"Micro Tek Torch (red photon tube reflectors)"
"Micro Tek Torch (white photon tube reflectors)"
That's a new one on me.
Photon tube reflectors?
What's next? Plasma conduits and tunneling neutrino beam emitters?

I believe you have there, what we in marketing refer to, as CS, or "catalogspeak".
-sometimes also calledBS.

Even when they have, they don't care about it. This people do very well know what it is.

In this case they are not that wrong. As we all know offer the LEDs a pretty nice 'hot spot' and useable 'spilled light' at the same time.

That's also true: 'Up to' means anything in between 0 and 10. And we all agree that it should be no problem to find a dimmer light .-) somewhere else.
We could start a thread about new advertisment claims:
XYLight burns one billion times longer as your camera's flash!
XYLight puts out light with a speed 5 million times as fast as your car.
XYLight is 1000 times brighter as the brighest start on sky (whats that? Riegel?) and has only a billionth of a billionth (... add as many as you want) of it's weight (actually mass)!
XYLight could burn 10000... hours on the energy of one liter (gallon) of gasoline (make you own calculations).
XYLight has lifetime guaranty (that means, when it fails, life is over and therefore guaranty is over).
When it has an ineffient circuit and gets warm:
XYLight doubles as a handwarmer!

Maybe something got garbled in translation. The Japanese idioms for telephone and propulsion are "electric speak" and "rocket go."

Which translation? Mine?
They use the German word 'Photonenpumpe' which is just what I wrote.
