Description: We have been receiving quite a number of GARY FONG LIGHTSPHERES for warranty returns that are counterfeit products. Here is how to spot the fakes: 1. The counterfeits do not hold their shape. 2. They are identified with a "petroleum" smell 3. There are spaces in the patent numbers engraved on the casing. 4. The labeling on the strap is smeared and flakes off easily. 5. The "buckle" attachment of the belt is wider and a different shape. 6. The packaging does not include the printed instructional card or trademark lime green packing paper. 7. The counterfeits have a white dye added into the mix. These products are poor-quality knockoffs. Amazon DOES enforce counterfeit prevention, but they need to know about it. If you receive one, please report it as a counterfeit, and Amazon will satisfyingly shut down the counterfeit vendor. Please use this as a reference. Also - rely on established photography accessory retailers. If there are prices that are substantially lower than typically advertised, you're probably purchasing a counterfeit. Thank you for spreading the word! With gratitude - Gary Fong
