And therefore you might have a chance at some kind of support. For Chinese knockoffs, your support in case of problems boils down to "you can buy 5 of these for the cost of one equivalent non-knockoff, so waddaya want?" Given the almost zero problems had by most people with the cheaper lights, and the fact that IMO nobody should ever ride with just one light anyway (MAYBE only one daytime light) that's a reasonable tradeoff.
