Has anybody trialled using cheap Chinese 'rip-off' lights for video?
eg. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/32000LM-SKYRAY-12-x-CREE-XM-L-T6-LED-Torch-Lamp-4-x-18650-Hunting-Flashlight/361693575966?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140122125356%26meid%3D968c05f5b40e4fb99d663bb153513a0a%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D202458461652%26itm%3D361693575966&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851
(not sure how to add hyper links!)
These are about a tenth of the price of a Stenlight version which is obviously a much better brand and waterproof etc.
I've also looked at the cheap Chinese bikelights online and wonder if they're any use? They all quote a ludicrous amount of lumens (30,000 etc.) which are presumably very unrealistic.

I know there's the old saying you get what you pay for, but at a tenth of the price do any of these lights actually do the job?
TIA
