dont always trust them, even amazon was supplying fake bs7671's unknowingly.No definitely real, bought it from a reputable hunting/fishing store on ebay which I've used many times. I'm not sure if I had a dud one but I wasn't impressed, I had an older version Led lenser before the h7r and that was a poor design too
Currently I just use a rechargeble led floodlight and don't bother with headtorches, until I find a decent one
they might have supplied you a fake without realising it themselfs.
