Is this a real cree or knockoff?

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.

Don't know...but it's high quality, overall. Seems power-hungry to me, however. Dimmed after an hour's use.

Yes it is, it's stamped on the side under the CREE logo. This baby is very bright & Small for the pocket. I purchased 4 of them and 12 batteries & 2 chargers for back up.

Yes it is, but beware, 50% of the Cree Bulbs ( 8 ) lasted no longer than 6 months.

This is H11 compatible type bulb.Amazon matching isn't perfect all the times. This is generic brand and one year standard warranty is provided. Yes, It is cree LEDs. Thanks

I ended up with a knockoff one too, from "West Port York." This is such a scam. Everything on the page indicates that its a TheraCane made by TheraCane. This one has no name on it anywhere and came in a crumpled plastic bag with nothing else, no manual, label, nothing.

I honestly don't know - it did not have a CREE sticker on it. However, I didn't want to just respond with "I don't know" and leave it at that. I literally debated for months before taking a chance on this light bar, and I'm glad I chose it. This thing is SOOOOOO bright. After off-roading at night with it on - I turned it off for a coming vehicle and couldn't see - even though my headlights were on. I am really impressed with this for the price. Having said that, I did not use their brackets - went with SST brackets (which cost more than this light bar). Having said that, I bought four smaller lights that ARE CREE bulbs - and they look exactly the same as this one. Hope that helps in some way.

No, its not. I received a cheap no name knockoff one that has the same look, but with no branding.

I bought mine from Amazon and it is a "real" one. I have heard of people getting fakes, but I haven't had any issue with anything I have ever bought from Amazon.

I believe it is a replica. Also ended up having an electrical issue. We had to fix it so the cord would not "swivel" anymore. Otherwise it would turn on and off.

It looks authentic to me, it came in an Ontario box that looked brand new. It has Ontario markings on it.

mine shipped from an authorized retailer that advertised them for sale on ebay,and they where the real thing and the three that I received destroyed the three deer that I shot with them so no,i don't think that they were fakes

It looks and feels like the real one, although the knock-offs are made so well that I wouldn't swear by it. It's never given me any problems. I'd gamble on one again.

I don't know if they are real. I just took a chance, given the price. I have been meaning to take one to a local gun show to see if one of theknifemakers there can show me what to look for.

the Authentic one have a big G in the back of it. If it doesn't have a G then it a knock off or not real

Not sure how to tell, it looks like other cree based lights that I have and works like a million bucks.

I didn't use it with Cree.What I use with this dimmer is a dimmable A19 LED light from Triangle Bulbs and it's working well for me for 2 years now. I like the light output because it's beautiful. It's also durable. Triangle Bulbs T95123-6 (6pack) - LED Dimmable 60 Watt Equivalent Daylight A19 Light Bulbs, 6 pack
