Buying a light

Here’s a bit of a discussion on cheaper Chinese lights if you haven’t read it already

Chinese Lights

Just a heads up for anyone considering buying a light from China. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has placed heavy restrictions on the transport of lithium ion batteries. I ordered 2 lights from China and both packages were rejected by customs security checks, there is a chance they could get through but it’s a real spin of the roulette wheel. Amazon.ca has some of these Chinese lights, the cost is higher and the selection is lower. Of course the quality of these lights and their clones is still as risky but I took a chance on this Magicshine MJ-880 clone, we’ll see how it goes.
