I ordered a Lamptron FC-8 on Amazon through the third party seller TitanRig, but upon delivery I noticed it looks nothing like the ones I saw elsewhere. There's no logo on the faceplate and it has a textured finish rather than brushed aluminum. It has only one molex connector as opposed to the 3 stated in the included manual and everywhere else.

Anybody know if this is just some obscure revision Lamptron released or something else?

Every Lamptron made (that I know of) says "Lamptron" on the top left (while looking at it) of the device. Looks like a fake to me.

Here's what a real FC-8 should look like.
