Why does Cree R4 cost more than R5?

Photon · Jun 4, 2012

On websites that sell the DQG AAA flashlight, there is a version with the Cree R4 that costs a few dollars more than the same light with the Cree R5.

Why is the R4 a little more than the R5?

What is the essential difference between the two? Can anyone give recommendations for one over the other?

Thanks,

R4 and R5 refers to the flux bin. Maybe the R4 is a neutral tint?

The R4 is a neutral tint. So its a special order thing that most manufactures aren't willing to deal with even though the neutral is superior (IMHO).

Why does Cree R4 cost more than R5?
