I just bought a Magicshine clone. I think you get what you paid for. In my case, I got less. The charger came dead on arrival.

I know saving money is a good thing, but I prefer not to need any messing or maintaining my lights. Not everyone is able or willing to spend the big bucks for fancy lights, but if you are, you'll be glad if you do so. It's not wasted.

I bought the Magicshine as an experiment. Now I have to contact Amazon and get the replacement or refund. Not fun, and not a very successful experiment.
