I found the same to be true. The newer style RX3 headlight has an excellent light dispersal pattern, it just suffers from an extreme lack of lumens due to the OEM 35 watt halogen H4 bulb.
And lest you think it is just Chinese bikes that suffer this affliction, I recently added a 2015 Versys 650 to the stable and it suffers the same problem, despite the high and low beams being separate assemblies. In fact, the damn high beam indicator on the dash is brighter than the high beam bulb itself, which appears to literally do nothing to increase light output when turned on. And no, it isn't burned out. Going to add some of the Genssi Elite H7 LED bulbs that Detours found to it as I ride at night a lot, especially in the summer.
