Fake CREE torches from China

I had bought many LEd Torches that are branded as 'CREE XML-T6 / U2' but they are in fact, Led light from LatticeBright (LB) as seen from the marked label on the Led PCB.

So, how does the real CREE XML-T6 or U2 Led looks like?

Are the real CREE XML torches expensive?

The fakes are selling like hotcakes at prices under US$10 and they are made by China JiangXi LatticeBright factory. One such Led became burned patches after 1 week of usage and became permanently DIMMED.

Are there no real CREE Led Torches in the market that are less than US$20 and uses Lithium Ion Battery 18650?

:welcome: I would say Convoy are the cheaper end of decent flashlights. Check out some of their lights with various tint options.

You know that Cree doesn't make any flashlights..? They make leds.

Convoy is a good bet. Even those, however, have been faked. GearBest shipped a number of fake Convoy S2+ flashlights to CPF members recently.

Two reliable sellers are Shenzhen Convoy Electronics Co., Ltd., the maker of Convoy flashlights, and Mountain Electronics.

The Convoy S2+ might be a good choice for you.
