The Terralux TLE-5 Ministar 2 is a luxeon 3.
The Terralux TLE-5EX Ministar 2 is a cree XR-E. Well, to be more accurate, its a SSC P4 bin.
Someone else can explain the link between Seoul and Cree, I dont quite know.
There is also a TLE-5K2, which is a luxeon K2 but you can't get these any more.

Welcome to CPF, Cole07.
Your question is about the emitter type, so I'll move your thread to the LED section (not the same as the LED Flashlight section) where you'll find plenty of threads about LED types, and the experts there will be able to help you.

SSC buys Cree dies and encapsulates them with their own phosphor and package.

Without a picture, it's hard to tell. There have been Lux3, K2, Cree, and SSC P4 versions of the Terralux modules.
If you bought off eBay, I would not trust their picture or description. They rarely know the difference, or that one even exists.

The Cree XR-E and SSC P4 are two different MODELS of led's from two different companies. Neither is a bin code.

Upload them to a photo hosting site such as photobucket or imageshack or picasa, then post them here using the image tag.
Wait! I've figured out how to post pictures! I can't actually get any pictures of it because the image quality is crappy. But i found a photo online that looksjust like it. So here it is. Can you tell me what kind it is?

That looks like a Cree.
On a side note, I purchased two TLE-5EX dropins from Battery Junction at different times. The page said it used a Cree LED. The first one had a Seoul P4 in it and the second one had a Cree XR-E.

I've got a photo now. Not one that i took cause my picture quailty is horrible. But i have found one online that looks almost exactly like mine except the glass part is yellow and mine is clear. But here it is. What kind is it?
From that description and picture, you have a silver core Cree XR-E.

It comes in both flavors. I have also experienced dealers who listed one model, gave a picture of said model, and shipped the other model. Most dealers are incapable of telling the difference, and probably don't even know there is one.

It's called a "gummy dome", but the tle-6ex comes in both SSC and K2.
