The concentric circles are interesting. perhaps a OP-Reflector is not nessasary to prevent a donut hule.
On Warsun Aliexpress store they do not mention Cee, but the folder that came with the flashligt clearly shows Cree XHP50
The only pictures I have found on LB HP50 is a 6V version. My version have the ability for 12V wiring…
The image on their datasheet is not XHP50, either XML easywhite or MKR
Cheers
Just a thought. Is it possible to make a thread that has links to authentic Cree emitter sellers? After reading this thread a little, I have determined that all my flashlights have fake emitters lol. I would like to at least replace my fake XM-L2 T6 and solder in a real one if I could actually find one with a board?
I am sure these are fake cree
Here is my XML-T6. I'm pretty sure it is a fake one because the emitter looks too small on the dye. Does it look fake to anyone else?
It shines very bright and nicely with my 18650's, so if it is fake, then I wonder how a real T6 would shine, or for that matter an L2 T6.
klrman, the main problem with “fake” leds is not that much related to their lumen output, which may just be hardly noticeably lower, or even good. The main issue is with regards to the quality of their spectral power distribution curves which tend to qualify like straight Jenkem.
Nice demonstrative video about this topic:
I already find standard CRI brand name leds shitey enough, so go figure.
Cheers ^:)
Barkuti, thank you, that was a really good video! I've never heard of that brand before, but I have a few 100W LED work lights in my garage and would love to change the emitter to those 5600k ones! In fact, I will try and get a hold of a few and give it a try. I'm sure if the watts are the same, that the driver would work.
Does the pic of my T6 look like it's not a Cree to you? I think I'm right but it would be good if someone with much more experience would confirm that! Also, would you or anyone know who sells legit XM-L2 T6's with a board? I want to upgrade my flashlights if I can get my hands on the real thing.
Looks fake to me! To buy genuine emitters, Mountain here in the US is preferred source. So far, FastTech has been a good source for genuine Cree emitters as well.
Thought it was fake! Thank you for the links too, just what I needed 
ha
Is this a good one, or a knockoff?
Clearly not a Cree LED.
K.
Read how easy it is to reflow solder a led and get a good LED that is not fake
Bought 4 of the Warsun CT9T on sale on AliExpress for $8.51 each. They all have LatticeBright emitters and they don’t have the tail switch like the older models. Only side switch on new ones, old ones have both tail and side switches. Older CT9T’s had Cree XML2.
Looks like a real Cree XP-E to me.
Or am i missing something?
I bought a Warsun CT9T from Banggood for $14. It was a huge disappointment because I had read a few reviews. It was about 600 lumens tops, thin cheesy build. I sold it for $10 value with another deal.
Pretty sure the LED was counterfeit. Banggood refunded me.
Yeap, the 3rd lead.
Aha, indeed. :+1:
