Yep 200 lumens is not a lot nowadays.
To me (and I may be incorrect!) this torch looks like one of the many Chinese manufactured torches that are flooding (excuse the pun) the market.
With these Chinese torches it seems that some people are lucky and others seem to get a lot of issues with them. I think the quality control and attention to detail on them may be in question.
The site you link to looks like a classic case of an individual importing a few torches into their garage to make a few quid. There is no contact address, no landline, no company number and the terms and conditions are rather basic.
With the majority of these torches (from any seller) I think it’s a classic case of buyer beware.
Ultimately if you are going to take a punt on one of these torches (as many have to varying degrees of success ) I think there is better performance/value torches to take your punt with.
Either the link that Broseidon provided or try searching for MJ-810.
There are a few extensive threads on other scuba diving forums that have discussed in great detail the pros and cons of some of the available “good value” torches that are out there.
We looked at importing some ourselves, however we could not satisfy ourselves that that the items would not cause us and our customers more hassle than the “saving” offered.
