I actually came across it on the budgetlight forum but so far only one buyer has purchased and reviewed the light but the review was positive:

I did some calculations and at this price it is $10 cheaper than solarforce L2 with charger, two batteries, and a twofish holder. It is only $10 more than the getting a ultrafire wf501b, ultrafire charger, and the $9.99 trustfire batteries twopack from DX.
With the many problems that people have had over the last few years with really cheap Chinese bike lights I'd say 'buyer beware'. Sometimes it's a lot less expensive to spend a little more in the beginning. As the old saying goes 'I'm too poor to buy cheap things'. YMMV.
