Just saw this on DX. R1 really out already? anyone ordered one yet? I'm tempted to get one because out of the 3 versions of this light, I've yet to pull the trigger.

Ultrafire R1-bin 5-Mode Cree Flashlight (1xCR123A/3.6V)
 
R1 is the title for the flashlight (similar to Ultrafire C2, C1, etc), not the bin number of the LED. Most likely that light, or any other on DX, is using a P4-bin unless otherwise specified (there are others using Q2s and Q5s)
 
I wonder how many people ordered one of those thinking it was an R1-bin Cree, which doesn't exist, only to get a P4.
 
looks like they corrected the name. it was labeled "R1-Bin"

I'll verify that, it did claim to have an R1 binned cree last night when I first saw this light posted. So this guy isn't crazy. (Well OK, he might be crazy but we can't prove based on this thread)

I admit that I was among those who didn't immediately recognize that R-1 CREEs don't exit. I ordered several of these, discovered that DX revised the product description to a CREE P4, and I cancelled my order.
