I also have a Dealextreme magicshine light. It works extremely well, and is one of the best cycling buys I've made. I use it for commuting on full beam as I'd had enough of being cut up by cars. Now they don't ;-)
On flashing mode it's too much. I get a headache. But it does show the amazing throw of the beam. You'll notice reflective signs about half a mile away switching on and off. Very very good!
If the charger doesn't work on arrival, don't panic. Get down to your local model aeroplane shop. They will sell you a battery charger which will charge pretty much any type of batteries. It is more costly, but avoids all those wall warts. You just have to solder up an adaptor cable and you're done.
