Fenix - P2D Rebel vs Cree

[fatboy]

Whats the real world difference between the two besides:

175 lumens vs 180 lumens

The Rebel is no longer listed on fenix-store?

I can't find the 180 lumen Cree listed?

Are they both gone already???

TIA!

The only difference I notice is tint. The Rebel wins hands down.

The Rebel is no longer being produced. You can find a direct comparison between the R100 and Q5 in P2D format here:

So I got the last great torch (Rebel) that's only a couple weeks old and it's now going to be a collectors item in 2 weeks?

What sold me on the R100 was the smaller LED and it's ability to focus better.

The guys at the "store" told me they prefer the Cree, but I didn't listen.

Nice job nOOb!

Now I gotta buy a Cree, just to be sure.

BTW, I did find the Cree on fenix-store, not a simple task, hehe.

The rebels also tend to have a smoother beam profile too.

I think you did fine, rebel 100 is efficient too. Enjoy your light, it's a keeper.

I agree, although mine is a L2D RB, Deff a keeper.

The P2D rebel 100 is defunct already? Darn! I just got nine and have decided to make it my EDC.

Oh well. I guess I'm not going to recommend it to friends and family.
