CREE Engineer

I was in Subway with my son tonight and I looked up from taking a bite of my sub and saw a guy wearing a CREE shirt. Well, the flashaholic in me immediately took over and I ambushed him with the 4 lights I had in my pockets. I showed him my HDS T200, ZL SC60, ZL SC51, and NC EX11.2. He was amazed and named off all the LED's, but didn't have a clue about the lights they were in. I just found it kind of interesting and amusing. He asked me a bunch of questions about my lights and where I got them, and how I knew so much about LED's. I just introduced him to CPF and went back to eating my sub.

Rob, that's cool! It's also cool he could tell you all of the LED's in your lights. Maybe we'll have a new flashaholic with some serious "inside info"! :devil: THAT, would be cool too! BTW, how you liking that EX11.2? I'm really looking hard at one.

Way to go, Rob. I wondered if these Cree-ites walked among us.

Wicked! Lets see if you "enlightened" a new one....

Yeah, unfortunately I didn't have time to get his name and get to know him, but I hope he does check out CPF. I love my EX11.2. Just a nice little, extremely bright EDC with a really great UI. It's a classic as far as I'm concerned. If you want a really nice little not too expensive and easy to use EDC.....I highly recommend this light.

WHY?

Probably 'cuz he knows what the next 'hot' emitter will be and doesn't want to buy a light that's already outdated, lol.

CandlePowerForums got a mention on one of the blogs on the Cree website, so at least some of them are aware of this forum.

Very cool that you ran into an employee!

LOL!! Classic, Kestrel! Thanks for the laugh!




It would be really funny if he joined up an chimed in here. I hope he does.

Maybe Cree will have something to split the difference between the xm-l & xp-g.
A nice 3mm^2 die.
