Just bought one of those from DX.
Good light. Sems brighter than my 808 though nominally the same. Battery pack weighs half as much again as the 808.
The bar clamp supplied required modding (came loose 3 times on the one ride I've used it for).
Oh, and the 'low' setting doesn't work. Remains on full.
I'll be sending it back for warranty once the evenings are light.

Are you sure? I've got one of those Spokebloke Owlet lights (basically a re-badged Magicshine) and initially thought the same thing, but it takes quite a few seconds to dim down to the low setting.
