Cree, XR-E or XR

[waynejitsu]

Is there a difference in these?
If yes, what is different?
Thanks!

Yes, there is !
The XR-E uses the EZ-1000 Chip and ist brighter than the
XR Diode.
I think the XR is using the EZ-800 Chip but i´m not really sure.

You can compare the specifications at the Cree Website.
There are also Datasheets of that both.

the older XR also features another beam pattern, so optics for them (which are available in masses) are not useable with the XR-E
