Is this " CREE XM-L" LED or the "CREE XM-L2 gen2" LED?

Mine was the CREE XM-L. Not really sure about how it compares to the 2nd gen, but the XM-L is plenty bright and efficient.

Depends on if it's an XM-L T6 like it says, or something else. The first one I got wasn't even the same class of Cree bulb, the second was an XM-L U2. From what I've seen online the U2 is around 5700k and the T6 is around 6500K. This also seems to match up between the U2 I got here and another light I have with an actual T6.Of course, the permanent button memory and lack of adjustable focus kill this flashlight for me. It's bright, but I don't recommend it.

I'm pretty sure that cree refers to the technology used to produce the light, referring to the led chip that is used instead of a standard bulb. Regardless, this flashlight is very nice and I'm happy with my purchase of four of these. They are good quality, heavy and sturdy, and worth the price.

Good to note that nitecore just released upgraded versions of the TM15 with XM-L2 emitters putting out 2,650 lumens versus 2,450.

It is a CREE XM-L U2 led temperature about 6000. It is running at 500 lumens.

Hi I bought these for my Klarus XT1C CREE XP-G R5 LED flashlight and they work great been using them steady for awhile now. I don't know what difference is between the two colors but I got the green one and they work fine

The "old" Mini123 used the XP-G. The "new" Mini123 uses the XP-G2. The new LED has +20% output.

There is no indication on or in the unit of whom the manufacturer of the LED is. At any rate, I have been very pleased with the performance.

It appears to be a Cree, but mine wasn't properly sealed. The LEDStore is exchanging it without hassle, and I'll be changing my feedback as soon as the exchange it's complete.

It is my understanding that they discontinued the halogen and went totally with the LED. Maglite offered both for a while. The picture is of a halogen light but they probably just changed the main description to LED without updating the rest. If you order it I would expect a LED.

Yes. Sent my back twice to China, they took forever but stayed in contact with me, pleasant experience. It was the very first XT11 600 lumen. Turned out both my batteries were defected and not the light. The tail switch broke a year later. I took it apart and sodered a loose connection myself. Works flawlessly to this day. Just ordered two of this updated model.

The Cree 40426 is about both 30% brighter and uses a more efficient LED. In addition, it has is has the added utility of taking the top off and hanging from the bottom so it shines down as bright area light for a work area or cooking. BATTERY CAPACITY: the below description is in error. My CREE uses 3 x AA batteries, NOT AAA; so the Coleman has no advantage there.

The chinese cree xml 1200 lumens is brighter but not by much. Those claimed 1200 lumens are rubbish although it is still very bright, its closer to 700 lumens and the optics are way superior con the cygolite. The cygolite is more trustworthy, realiability on those generic chinese lights is a crapshoot, especially with the battery. I have both.

It is the 80 lux version. You can tell by plugging in the manufacturer's model # from the Amazon listing into the Philips web site's Find Your Product page. From there, you can see this leaflet: http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/b/bf48l20balxm/bf48l20balxm_pss_enggb.pdf Looking at other front light products: The 40 lux version looks like it is smaller and has a single LED with a white, front reflector surrounding the LED. The 60 lux version is a dynamo driven light.

Just gathering info from hexbright.com website, (led is "CREE XM-L bin U2"), and cree.com product info 'http://www.cree.com/products/pdf/XLampXM-L.pdf' the color temp is around 6500K, cree says typical CRI is 65 for this temp. You know much more about this than I do to even ask this. I know there were lots of light geeks on the kickstarter board discussing this, so someone knows this. Ask at hexbright, they're friendly and helpful. I have several of these and love them.
