Anybody heard of Heider?

Saw this a few times advertising lately. Anybody know anything about these guys? Heider AGX Ultra Power http://www.heidertorch.com/heider-agx-1000-meters-lighting-distance.html Looks like pretty good stuff?

Strange, almost every light there is an exact copy of another. I see 2 or 3 Xenos, Surefire/Solarforce replica, and a Sipik. Not that it's illegal or anything, but the prices seem inflated. Some zoom optics. A bit interested actually

BTW, some Xeno lights have those coordinates on the side too.

I don't see a lumen rating on that specific light, but looks like a Xeno G42 to me - $99 (not $169)

I came across this same model when I didn't have my adblock on in Facebook for some reason. Did some googling and found a thread about Heider flaslights here in CPF. It states that it's an updated model but I doubt it really throws 1000 metres (consider M2X UT Javelot by a respected manufaturer Olight that throws 800+m with a single 18659 and less $). Also that site doesn't give any actual lumen / candela readings nor runtimes for high or medium. I sense a trap.

I don't have the link at the moment.I have to look for it.

There was a discussion about this company on BLF. It was determined that they are a FARCE! I remember a photo with a guy shining a light towards the mountains. It was a STOLEN picture of another light which was much bigger in size than the advertized Heider light! They seem to use beam shots of other manufacturers lights and claim that it is theirs!

Just look at their "Beam distance" claims!! ONE of them[CSX] which is smaller than the PD35 and X2 claims 600m of throw!! :laughing: Right!!! Vinh or another modder could NOT get that out of such a small light!

LOOK AT THE LIGHTS, LOOK AT THE PRICES AND LOOK AT WHAT THEY CLAIM[CD's/Beam distances]!!! I just sent them a BRUTALLY honest email,wonder how they will reply/handle it!

For me, overpriced rubbish :fail:

But my collegue is happy with it....
