dunno....but like this line ........ "This super tough LED flashlight is super tough" ........ guess that ebay item also shows that dodgy claims can come from anywhere in the world ...... kinda like this bloke implying Lux III emitters are generally 190+ lumens per emitter http://cgi.ebay.com/5-PCS-Lumileds-Luxeon-III-Emitter-White-LXHL-PW09_W0QQitemZ7629868656QQihZ017QQcategoryZ66954QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
i guess it shows that it isn't only people in Asia that make dodgy claims or sell questionable products......it is worldwide.
my 2 cents.
