Cree is well-regarded for its range of robust and feature-rich LED lamps. The high-quality of these lamps is industry-leading and trendsetting. It’s pretty much a gold standard for the industry and thus makes for high-quality consumer products. Cree XLamp XM-L is a high lumen output, high-efficiency range product. The light is adjustable but it’s not very easy to do with one hand as you’re holding the light, but that’s not that big of an issue in my opinion. For the most part I don’t really adjust the focus on my lights that often. Virtually all flashlights made today use an XM-L LED. This LED produces a full-flood beam, with less throw than the XP-G. Total lumen output for the original XM-L peaked at near 700. Differences in the T6 and U2 flux bins include higher brightness. The T6 cannot output more than 910-975 lumens. (*see note) Meanwhile the U2 bin is 7% brighter than the T6. Overall beam distance (throw) has increased since the XM-L. Both of the more recent bins have less flood overall. The light itself is 14 x 5 x 5 cm or 5.50 x 1.97 x 1.97 inches in dimensions and it’s about 5.5 ounces without the battery in it. The light is IPX-65 certified meaning that it’s water resistant and basically waterproof against rain but not submersible.

Getting the Best Cree XML-T6 Flashlight should be seen as a necessity. A good flashlight is indispensable, especially so when you’re outdoors. It might just be a day trip and you might not really end up needing it, but you don’t want to be caught unprepared in a tough situation. A good flashlight does not have to be a foot-long behemoth. Modern flashlights can be tiny, bright, and feature-rich. And yes, Cree XML-T6 plays an important role. 7 Notable Cree T6 Flashlights Of 2019 The HandAcc LED flashlight is rated at 500 Lumens and this Ultrafire is brighter yes, but not by much really, so it’s not 2000 Lumens for sure. Still though the Ultrafire is very bright, bright enough for most any needs really. The XP-L is the same size die as the XM-L2, but it’s placed onto the smaller size board of the older XP-G. Whereas the XP-G is king when it comes to “throwing” capabilities, the XP-L doesn’t throw quite as far, but it makes up for it in brightness and the fact that it can be driven at much higher currents. For readily available cells, the 3400mAh Pana NCR18650B and the 3000mAh 4.35 CV cells from LG, Sanyo and Samsung are much more reasonable options.

7 Notable Cree T6 Flashlights Of 2019

If you read the paragraph above, then you’re already familiar with what flux bins are. If you didn’t…scroll up and read it before continuing. Yes it’s not 2000 Lumens at all, but it still is very bright and more than bright enough to light the way anywhere you might have to go, be it just in your house or deep in the woods.

The other point of note is battery use. A filament bulb will chug at batteries to deliver lower performance. A conventional flashlight operating out of two AA or AAA bulbs can only offer a weak beam that barely illuminates anything. On the other hand, an LED powered by the same source will be bright, focused, and use up only a fraction of the energy as compared to filaments. Power comes from a rechargeable 18650 Lithium battery rated at 3.7V. This battery is capable of holding its charge well, even when not in use. According to the company, the battery will keep nearly 75% of its charge even after one year. That’s an impressive standby time.I just reviewed the HandAcc flashlight so here’s a comparison between the two, they’re both basically the same size but just designed very differently.

The ‘G’ and ‘G2’ line feature a boost in lumens. The ‘G2’ offers up to 20% more than the ‘G’. This line also offers throwing capability much closer to that of the older XR-E. Note that the size of the ‘G2’ is a tad smaller, producing a slightly smaller beam. As you can imagine, the operation time varies with the beam you choose. At a consistent 1000 Lumen output, the battery will be drained in 1.5 hours, while it can last as much as 18 hours on the low setting.For the 50.2, lumen “density” was improved a bit, even though size and shape remained the same. Output also increased a small amount, to 2654 lumens.
