I bought it because the price was good as stock. It has been repackaged but is practically new. My first impression was good quality. Gave good light. However, I sent it back mainly because of the background noise. The fan roared loudly and drove me crazy. Another reason had to do with something like focusing lenses at the ends of the light guides. But they are fixed and not adjustable. Dolan and Jenner and many other professional lighters can use adjustable lights. The ability to narrow or expand the light rays is very useful.
