LumaPower got to be very famous/popular/expensive to be faked.

I suggest that you search for MRV's reviews and compare the posted pictures with your flashlight.

Here's a few:

Well well..because the LumaPower give out a "BIG WARNING" for faked MRV, then i think ther is a reason to bee worry about a faked MRV version.

EDIT:

Hey..i just got this answer from LumaPowers own support.

Dear Mr Woodman

It should be fake.

Re: Is it possible that i received a LumaPower fake

that's not taking into account the short-lived flood of MRV from the lp split up that was rumored to have placed low price MRV into dealextreme inventory sometime last year (could be wrong on the time).

Re: Is it possible that i received a LumaPower fake

Oh, the irony!!

 

[xcel730]

That's surprising. I don't have any Lumapower, and I know they make pretty good lights, but when a company is trying to make a fake product, don't want to make a fake of the more expensive items? No disrespect here, just my thoughts.

How do I know it's a fake product if I bought it from a member here at MarketPlace? The previous owner probably might not know about it either.

I bought it BRAND NEW from: "ChinaQualityGoods" the only one who sales LumaPower at e-bay.

Max, your MRV might be a fake but up to now there is no proof that it is a fake.

Have you noticed anything in the appearance or operation of this flashlight that seems not normal?

As Horizonseeker said, when last year Lumapower split up some of the people who left the company were paid with flashlights. And these flashlights at the time were regular Lumapower lights. Thinking that all those people sold their lights to get back the money all these lights must have ended up on the marketplace in China. Lumapower can now claim that they are fakes but at the time it was not so.

You still have not told us what appears to be wrong in your flashlight apart from theories. Is it working properly?

I have contacted the superior at "ChinaQualityGoods" wating for answer.

By the way this is all the "Seller information" i received from PPal and e-bay. Not a very serious impression. (sorry)

ADDRESS: ??? ?????????????6?13A
PHONE: 075525507076

What is this? a Practical joke? This is all the information i have about the people behind "ChinaQualityGoods" :shakehead Why do they hide?

 

[WildChild]

If you bought it on eBay, paying with PayPal, you can claim to PayPal for counterfeit stuff! I've been refunded twice for fake stuff like that!

 

[Max Woodman]

I have now received answers from "ChinaQualityGoods" if it's a fake or not? look dowmhere. Please comments..the answer

Your computer lack the proper coding to display chinese character, so problem is on your end I'm afraid.

Still you haven't said why do you believe it's a fake?
