Rexlight REX2.0 XR-E P4 CREE LED

[ernsanada]

I just got my Rexlight REX2.0 XR-E P4 CREE LED from https://www.kaidomain.com/WEBUI/ProductDetail.aspx?TranID=1359

Fit and finish is excellent.

Type III Hard Anodize is excellent, no flaws.

Bezel and rear tailcap screws on and off very easy but unfortunately one of my o-rings broke.

Specs from Kai Domain's Website,

Highlights:
- Best performance and price ratio ever!
- The great and trustworthly light from Rexlight.
- Durable and professional craftmenship with TRUE HAIII coating
- Uses CREE P4 XR-E LED Bulb
- Accepts 3.6V/3.7V 14500 Li-ion cell, or one 1.2V/1.5V AA cell
- Five light modes (low/middle/high/strobe/SOS)
- Optional CR123A/2AA extension tube (available shortly)
- AR coated and harden glass lens
- Dual in-line o-rings to protect flashlight from the environment
- Extremely bright and pure white color light output
- Uses Aluminum textured reflector and improved silicon operational switch in red and orange
- Extra copper components for improved conductivity

Comes with one black rear rubber switch cover, I wavy washer and 4 o-rings.

I think the Rexlight priniting should have been facing the other way. All the lights I have the logo faces the lens not the tail.

AW's Protected 14500 fits with no problems.

If you hold it in your left hand the logo looks right.

I never thought of it that way.

I must have got the left handed versions. :lolsign:

hard to tell from the pics for me poor eyes...but which light is the brightest? is the Rexlight or the Fenix or the Dexlight brightest? (at the highest setting) - any rough indication of lumens?

btw, where can I find the Dexlight?

thanks....

thanks....

Here you go.. BTW, I have the DexLight and it's a very nice light. The threads aren't as smooth as the JetBeam CL-E I used to have but overall a decent light for the money..

Mine does NOT have an AR coated lens as is stated in 3 places on Kaidomains ad for the Rexlight. Can you verify if yours does or does not? (Reflects greenish tint from a ceiling light when the flashlight if off).

Both of my Rexlights do not have AR coated lenses.

Looks like my Dexlight and Fenix are brighter.

I think it's due to the Cree Lottery. Some other CPF'ers lights probably have varing degrees of brightness compared to each other and to my Rex Light.

The side by side with the Dexlight is about how mine stacks up too. Dexlight is quite noticeably brighter with two equally charged 14500's. However the Rexlight was brighter than the Dex when both had NiMH batteries. Disappointed in some things about the Rexlight but still a fair deal at the GB price.

Got my Rexlight today and everything is good. It seems to work as advertised. No flaws in the finish (black) and the Cree is nicely centered with a white tint. I've not had a problem with the UI, but it takes a little getting used to. It's nice to have it start on low, and it's a fairly dim low level. Compared to my other similar light, the JetBeam CL-E, the Rex's low is slightly lower, as is the medium level. The high for the Rex is slightly higher than the Jet. The strobe on the Rex seems a bit faster.

I'm liking it so far. It could have more and deeper knurling and should have included a lanyard, but that's a bit nitpicky. I'd say it's worth the $30.

After having a little time to play with this light I'm kind of glad for the 5 second memory feature. Some folks think 1-2 sec. is plenty. That's okay for remembering your last mode when you turn it off. Where it's nice to have the full 5 sec. is when you turn it on and are trying to determine the level you need. With a shorter interval you would often need to do the double press to move it up a notch. Not a big deal, but I think a 1-2 sec. interval would hinder control more than help.
