How To Spot A Fake: Modlite

[@mcmlxv9827]

I wonder what the performance difference is. Undoubtedly the fake will not be as durable.

[@estew9119]

So basically there's really no reason to pay $300 for the real one bc the $60 clone is essentially the same product. Maybe it's just me but I'm not seeing the $240 price difference here.

Potting which you can do yourself.

What does the light beam pattern look like on the fake? I assume the Chinese can't quite copy Modlite's LED tech yet.

[@Johnathan.F]

I would doubt that. Most if not all LED tech comes from overseas, mainly china.

Thanks Craig!

@@BigTexOrdnance anything for Selenas

[@offshoresavage6608]

So in summary you need a real one to compare against to see if it’s a fake. 🥴

[@joejoeseesingtons]

Good info

[@KevinWood44]

So Modlite is ripping us off. Like most US companies do

[@MrKadidle51]

China is watching to get pointers on improving their fakes lol

I got a knockoff to compare and do my own diode swapping and it's not near the same. It's fine in general but not comparable to the real deal modlites. I opened it and the led in the knockoff is some kind of cree, so not even the same diode, I assume same with the driver. I have a knockoff dual fuel surefire m640df and both the sf knockoff and modlite knockoff are exactly the same, if not the slightest unrecognizable difference. My modlite head did fit on the knockoff so the threads are the same

[@DragonNectar]

how does power/throw output compare?

[@tassolovesar15s]

Sounds like a Modlite head will go on it correct? 🤔🤔

[@Skidjit]

It is a badge of honor to be copied by chyn-ha.

[@williamfenton6562]

For the price at maybe half the lms if it doesn't break 🤷‍♂️
