Cree LED

[jjohn]

I discovered this technology when my 14yr old bought a 2000lm single t6 cree torch on ebay for $12

I wont bother with a link as there are so many.
Just google cree led.

Cree are the name you want to see if you are buying led's 10w or higher if you are looking at light bars

 

[rabbit-chop]

I bought a what was meant to be a 2000lm Cree torch, it wasn't even as bright as my 200lm led lenser still, I can't complain for $11

I bought 5 of those 2,000 lumen single-cell (UltraFire) CREE torches for about $5 each. 2 of them have failed circuits which I might look at one day for curiosity's sake, but at $5 each, the replacement parts (with shipping) would cost more.

I think that could be the one I have, I'd have to find the link. I have an awesome Cree LED baton torch with spikes on it too haha.

Its a Ultrafire c8 XML t6

Mine are similar to this one, about the same price too. Innards probably all come from the same place anyway!

 

[her.d22]

I'd say so, was comparing it with other ones and they are so similar.

Just remember CREE just make the SMD L.E.D chips, the rest is made buy the factory that makes the light bar, torch or what ever.

So depending on the build quality, circuitry, wattage, heat disipation etc a light with CREE chips might be great, or might be average. FYI.

20,000 lumen?!?!? For 30 bucks

Hahaha thats footy field stadium light output

A few of my mates have got these cheap cree torches they are around 2-300 lumens
Which is not bad for bugger all $

If you want high output get a Nitecore
