Cree flashlight

[W1nds0rF0x]

At the risk of sounding stupid, WTF does this "Cree" designation mean???

Well, after having spent lord knows how long on Google trying to figure this out, as soon as I posted this question the very next click gleaned this:

"DealExtreme and kaidomain (the old fifthunit guys) both have CREE LED flashlights for $9.99 shipped. For those not familiar with CREE, they are one of the newest LED technologies and are generally brighter and more efficient than Luxeon LEDs"


ok.....

Cree is just a company with a new way of doing things. Haven't used their products, though.

The cree light from Dealextreme is fabulous (see my posts in this forum). 215 Lumens for something so small is a technology leap. We now have 4 of them now. Very well made, pyrex lense. I was very hesitant about ordering from them at first as they are in Hong Kong, but take my word from experience, their delivery is very fast. This little light rivals any of the others that easily cost over a $100 and this one is only $17 including shipping.

I may have to take a drink of the cree kool aide and check it out myself for $16.

They have some in there that claim 900 lumens. Be sure to read the customer reviews though.
