Who's gonna be First Cree XR-E Light Manufacturer?

Question is Simple and Clear

So, Who's gonna be First Cree Light Manufacturer?

By Manufacturer, I mean, the one who can produce more than 3000 lights combined. (EDIT, Updated number of lights and criteria)

Probably Photons International, they already got the Xlamp, might as well go all the way

do Photons International manufacture more than 3000 lights combined. (EDIT, Updated number of lights and criteria)

I would guess either Fenix or Lumapower.

I guess I should have read the whole post

5000 lights?

And HDS/NovaTac is on the list?

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Wait a second.

5000 pcs per flashlight model or a combined total of 5000 light?

seems a bit high figure. probably 1000-2000 pcs would be more realistic if we are to include more manufacturers?

what about streamlight, surefire, pelican, Underwater Kinetics (UK)?


just my 2 cents.

khoo

:thinking: ummm... Maglite?

New whiter krypton bulb? What's that we have the technology now? Eh, file it under the 15 year plan:lolsign:

I have a feeling if the new Arc (ls) comes out soon, it will have a cree. But I don't think it will be called the LS!! lol. Arc XRE? Arc5? :shrug:

Fenix I think is hip with keeping up with innovation and features, so I picked them too.

And HDS probably will have something too.

What about Orb?

I say Surefire.

edit:Manufacturer = more than 3000 lights combined. (EDIT, Updated number of lights and criteria)

I think this should be fair enough to distinguish between "M-odder" & Manufacturer

I wanted to include maximum of manufacturers, however I only had 10 choices. so surefire, UK, Orb etc are not in list. I included only those who i thought could bring it first.

Arc Light - I voted for Arc because the New Arc LS is coming out and I thought I heard a claim of a new light source. :shrug:

HDS/NovaTac - Would be nice and could be how they will make the U85. And the U120.

Fenix - Entirely possible, but they were not first with 1AA Luxeons, just more light for the money.

Peak LED - I wish. Next gen Kino Bay or Rainier anyone? Hudson Bay and Everest?

LRI / Photon - Thinking of an XR-E Proton II! And don't forget the Photon Five Freedom XR-E!!

Inova - I wish again (T6, next gen T1, and T0?), but even more that they come out with two level lights to take full advantage. Think X-ohhhhhhh!

Maglights - Didn't the first Mag LED JUST come out? I'm still waiting for their $20 1xAA Luxeon! Think 2009.

Dorcy - Hmmmm, No. Doubt it.

Paul Kim was muttering about this new super LED at the shot show. At the time everyone was guessing Soeul Semiconductor but it could be a pre-production Cree XR-E.

The 1st Fenix or CLONE to come out with a good XR-E light will take the lead in the 1AA/1AAA lights forcing the others to say 'me too' later. I see a big push by Fenix, Ultrafire, Jet, Huntlight to see who will be 1st.

I see we have to limit the poll to mass manufacturers since the Sandwich Shoppe has been selling A19-XREs as fast as they can assemble them for a couple of weeks now. When the next batch shows up for sale depends.....

I won't jump on one until I know what bin they're using.


That said, I'd really love a Cree version of an L2T. But I think most people would.

I would say Fenix, just look at their product line, astonishing how many new GOOD lights they have made.

I just wonder how expencive the Cree lights will be? Will most manufacturers keep Luxeon lights at current prices and have outrageous prices for the Cree lights?

Led Lenser :devil:

Seriously, I think Fenix too. They are able to output a new light in 1 or 2 months only.

This poll brings another one: when will we see the first chinese light using a Cree XR-E "clone" ? :santa:

I changed my mind, I'm going to go with wishful thinking and say surefire (I reject your reality and substitute my own )

it's not surprising to see that out of 71 votes till now NONE went to Mag :nana:
at the same time, People have High Hopes from Fenix.

What if Cree declines to sell em to Fenix in analogy to a recent post where some one mentioned some thing similar, i.e. Cree declining to sell em to a particular customer for some reason, was it 4sevens??? don't recollect it clearly.

It will be SureFire.

Oh, wait. I thought it was who will be the first to have 3000 lights backordered.

My bad
