Again I'm lost with whats going on. 
The idiotic statement in my signature was copied from a flashlight spec sheet. The light itself would be lucky to light up 100 meters 14 kilometers. Who's trying to kid who. I thought it was humorous. 
yeah i understood that this is not your observe
the cutter stock say that because they try to show big view of their products for more sale
sometime they tell you lies
in my land this is usual whatever many peoples be gullible
just powerful lasers can be traverse more than one kilometer one time i see
the powerful laser in laboratory that it traverse 40 kilometer very dangerous
and sturdy that i brighten so far mountain via it but powerful flashlight just brighten 100 -500 meter
i hope not be upset from my opinion 
E-mail from Cutter said they hope to receive xp-l from Cree within two weeks……Oh I hate waiting 
No not upset at all. I love a good laugh and just so everyones on the same wave length the 14 kilometer beam range and a bazillion lumens was from a flashlight seller, not Cutters.
glad everything you say is right
Hmmm, I’ll let you all know how I like them 
I only order like 5, but it says my order shipped. Just waiting on their arrival.
Thats not fair…
hi
i am so glad to give your times to me
i bought some 3 watt cree led in one lighting market in my city but i don't know which model i bought
the seller not know about thats models no catalog not any manual they have just told me this is 3 watt cree led
i search all along cree.com web site but i cant find what model is that
can you tell me which model i bought
this is its picture i taken:
No LED name, no brightness bin, no color temperature.
It is a CREE XP-E LED first generation, rest of the fact will never be known, like for example the brightness bin.
thanks
i test it
it give brilliant white not cool not warm near pearl just a little like pure white
cree say 300 lumen but yet i have not any luminous tester to determine how many lumens release but so glare that my eyes got annoyance when i saw it
it produce much lumen instead chines leds ( chines have low brightness issue when i use them too much must use to give favorite issue)
never such glitter i saw like this that i can say 10 of this can brighten a middle salon
again i thank to you for guide me
Maybe you know, maybe you dont know, but and LED is not sold just with the specification "CREE"
Model nname is required (XP-E, XP-G2), Brightness bin (Q2, Q3.....R5), color temperature (5700K, 3000K) but preferably you would know the tint and know exactly for yourself what to expect (1A, 1B, 1T, 3C, 5B1)
CRI wouldn't be bad to know, depends on your intended use ( kitchen, outdoor light, basement light not all have the same importance)
Also just so you know these CREE LEDs are manufactured in China.
You have deleted your post, but read here:
OK
but seller give sweat to me that this led never com form china due to much solicitation from me to them they seller just say me these led montage in south Korea but the led chip come from American Cree company they have a reference buy sheet that korea seller sign that with american signet
what is data (Q2, Q3.....R5) or (1A, 1B, 1T, 3C, 5B1)?
i never see them in cree specification web site just a little explanation in their pdfs inconspicuous
yes i have a little weakness in English
excuse me some of keys my key keyboard some time malfunction and add more mistake to typing and thus i delete it and try to correct errors in typing and again type that
forgive me please
ok
i read pdf carefully but a lot of Chromaticity table that cree release
which luminous bin affected by them but just i must know they color temperature
and brightness in my job they important for me the cree table have a lot of Chromaticity
that who work for art lighting use to show the work of art in own scenes
or who that brighten area in art lighting like coloration illumination
did you buy cree led with this sheet completely
If you are lighting up artwork, you will want a high Cri output like 98cri
yes you told exactly
may be require more cri output like 99cri that is important to show the artwork to become more with integrity
The thing is that you can buy for example a XP-L that has a 65CRI and 1T tint, yes a lot of brightness but the tint will be bad, CRI not even worth talking about at that tint (1T).
But for that maybe you would be looking into CXA LEDs rather than XP-L LEDs.
we must be wait until cree release new led with extra brighness and high cri and tint but cree just
point at one thing in each product or they cant gather all features in one led and show that serve as one end updated product like cri=99 or 300 lpw or high tint or ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
or their polices is to show developments serially
always we search about high ended products
Back to the XP-L HI, I was supposed to have some coming but I received regular XP-L’s on accident. Those got returned so now back to waiting for the HI’s to be stocked again.
