Recently, when I was In local wholesale store my eye caught familiar light - an older sister of popular SuperFlash Smart RL-317R => RL -318R. It’s horizontal, have noticeable switch and the quality of a plastic brackets is better (I’ve lost two of 317’s somewhere and it seems that it happened not only to me).

What's remarkable it doesn't cost 40 or 60 zloty's (13-20 USD) but only 19.40 zloty's gross (6.5 USD) - a rather obvious, after verifying that "it lights" it went to my shopping cart.





Very similar, aren't they ? If there wasn't inscription on one it will be hard to distinguish them at first glance.



Well, there is a slight difference in the "content"



The Smart electronics is covered by an additional foil, in counterfeit, everything is on top. But the main difference lies in the used led. Smart SuperFlash has on board a red one-chip Nichia power-led rated at 0.5 watts in the counterfeit there is no name 3-chip LED.



How it light?
When I was In the shop, the counterfeit looks quite bright - but when I compare it to the original SuperFlash it is just poor counterfeit. This 3-chip led focuses badly on applied optics and provides much less light.





I think that I do not need to describe which is which?

I think that they will be available sooner or later in the local shops, so be advised - they only looks similar.
