see here: Review: Zeusray CREE XM-L2 zoomable flashlight
another LB led
and this is a rewiev,what a fuck?
Rewiev said ‘’Uses XM-L2 instead of XM-L for a 20% better improvement’’
LOL
You need to resize your image down, its far to big to view properly.)
done,look the LB print
its a latticebright indeed. kind of sad how these lattice bright fakes were already flowing to us more than a year ago and we were not aware of them until lately.
does these LB are available in Warm white?
i have never seen one yet, only in eye-searing radiation blueish white.
what do you think about paying mor attention to that?
maybe add [condirmed Cree inside] or something else?
- faked components are a bad thing - don´t look in the other direction”
I believe that the led on the LB board in the Zeusray may actually be an XM-L2.
My second edition Zeusray, has a regular XM-L2 with a traditional white cree board, but it looks like that reviewer with an original model, has a legit Cree, but Dealmetic probably had an any alu board will do policy. After getting a worried about all this, I checked all my lights, all good here, but I don’t usually play the cheap light lottery anyway
The Zeusray that I used in my ThorFire BD04 Review doesn’t seem any brighter than the 4x AMC 7135 driven ThorFire BD04. The Zeusray is a newer model with the crappy pill, not the good older model.
ThorFire BD04 on left, Zeusray on the right. Tell me what you think.
Here’s a look down the front end. My picture isn’t great but you can get a good look at the emitter. If it is real, then the quality of the Zeusray has to be pretty bad to have a 4x AMC 7135 driven light make it look mediocre.
Just found this in one of my smaller flashlights. It was a generic, but still listed as a Cree XM-L… and it most certainly is not. I knew that name sounded familiar when this thread popped up.
So sad.
Melting…!!
This is a genuine LatticeBright.
Trust me, that was only one of the many problems.
- Star wasn’t glued down to anything so it was just floating by the wires.
- I had to resolder the wires together because the connection broke. It was the reason why I even bothered looking inside.
- Reflector doesn’t fit and was too small. Wiggly jiggly.
- Bezel doesn’t stay locked down because reflector is too small and short, and because star isn’t glued down, and because there’s a ginormous gap. I ended up using one of my spare TIR optics instead.
The fact that the LED even lights up is a miracle given all the craziness inside this flashlight.
In cheap flashlights are all LB :_(
Hooha, I just bought a green SK68 “Cree” clone on eBay for under $2 (auction, I was the only bidder, 99 cents plus shipping from “pflhobbyboy”)
(who, now that I look at the feedback, sells a lot of counterfeits. Dang. Not cynical enough yet, at my age ….)
It has a LatticeBright weak blue-white emitter.
No notches or holes drilled in the pill; press-fit aluminum foil ‘washer’ over the emitter.
One brightness level.
Chuckle. It came from a RC Car seller — and they don’t have any more of the SK68 lights for sale.
It’s a lottery lottery these days.
I notice lots of green SK68 clones on ebay right now (and sellers bundling ten or a dozen of them, as well as singles).
You can say that again!
Oh, you did.
Have any of you contacted the websites to see if they are knowingly selling flashlights with LB emitters but still advertising them as CREE? I contacted one, and they were less than helpful and even less remorseful.
once again disappointed this time from fasttech
the famous SK98…with Lattice bright
just time and money wasters.
and surprised that no one other buyer declare that
98…
sk68 clone,
Cree xp-e or not?
I need a better picture, but… For me it is CREE XP-E
