How do you tell the difference between the new Surefire Crees, and the older Surefire LED's? I'm looking at the L1 at Opticsplanet.com and nowhere does it say if it's a Cree or not.

Someone set me straight, please.

I believe you can tell by the output #'s and runtime. The new CREE version has 10 lumens and 65 lumens of output, while the older one was 1.1lumen and around 40 lumens(I think). Also the new CREE version has MUCH greater runtime, around 1.5 hours on high, 10 hours on low.

I just bought an L1 (cree) from optics HQ. You cant go wrong there, check it out. Call them, they are easy to deal with.
