Hi All…
Relatively new to flashalcoholism but have a few question Iwas hoping someone could answer for me.
· Is there one source somewhere that gives the genesisof CREE flashlight LED models (XPG-R5, XML-T6, etc.) up to the present startingwhen these products first came to the consumer market.
· I notice there are many quality productionmanufacturers producing flashlights utilizing two cell CR123's or one 18650 thatproduce, or claim to produce, anywhere from a little over 400 lumens with someover 700 lumens? Why the disparity with the same power source?
· And lastly, for common EDC lights that can use18650 Li-ion cells…what should I use button-top or flat, protected or unprotected, and what outputratings, etc.?
Any help would be appreciated…Thanks!
