Re: Coleman Max Cree at walmart

None of the links so far are of the light I bought. I'll try to post a pic later.



:welcome:



I'm still curious about which light this is if everyone has been guessing but nobody has posted the correct light yet.
 
coleman max cree 3XAAA light?

i saw this at wal-mart yesterday and couldn't find anything about it on the internet. Coleman's website doesn't even have it listed nor does wal-mart's. i was wondering if anybody else owns it or had seen it. it is clearly a cree(both listed on the package and confirmed by looking at the emitter). it listed at 25$.

Re: coleman max cree 3XAAA light?

could you point me to it instead of just telling me to search. i assure you i've searched. this is a flashlight not a headlamp. it's way different from the exponent series.
 
Re: Coleman Max Cree at walmart

I got the 65 lumen XR-C version of this light. It's a great light. It has a textured reflector to even up the beam. The metal heatsink around the l.e.d.s is large and shiny and acts as a smooth reflector so it is still a good thrower with plenty of spill light. Mine has a red and a blue l.e.d. and they are surprisingly bright for 3mm l.e.d.s.. It has one wierd quirk though. When you turn on the blue l.e.d., the white XR-C phospor coating glows.


That's how the phosphor works. The LED chip actually emits blue light. The phosphor layer converts some of that blue white into other wavelengths, giving the approximate appearance of white light to human eyes. If you look at a spectrograph of a white LED, you see a big blue spike. Now you know why.
 
Re: coleman max cree 3XAAA light?

thanks mate. i searched for "coleman max" directly in the search system four or five times and it never was on any list it brought up. i don't know how this search system works but sorry. again thanks.
 
Re: coleman max cree 3XAAA light?

thanks again i've been using the big search at the top thinking it was interchangable with the search on the title bar thingy. live and learn i suppose.
 
Re: Coleman Max Cree at walmart

the one i saw in wal-mart says 115 lumens. it is a shiny grey and comes in a white package. i should have taken pictures of it when i was there ten minutes ago but i didn't have my phone. i does say that the 115 lumens was at the emitter at 25 celcius and before optical losses. 24.95$ when i looked at it.

you also mentioned prev. that it is "way different" from the eXponent Lithium flashlights. Coleman's website also shows two other eXponent flashlights with little to no description and they can't be "Added to Cart". both are grey and one is 3xAAA. wonder if your light might be planned to be one of the new gray (not the existing black CR123A/Lithium eXponent lights) eXponent lights?

the new gray, not yet purchasable (or old??? no longer purchasable) lights have white LED, red and green LEDs. what colors LEDs (and modes, please) does your light possess? many thanks, half-watt
 
Re: Coleman Max Cree at walmart

I don't think we'll really know until the OP posts a pic or model number.

If I knew how to post a picture, I could do it, but I have no idea how, and don't have a lot of free time to figure it out.

i don't own the light but i looked at it closely in the store it has a single cree and no secondary LEDs.
 
Re: Coleman Max Cree at walmart

The Coleman Max version of the lights are not available on the Coleman website, they are a Wal-Mart exclusive. If you bought the 3AA version of the MAX Light then it is 115 Lumens at the emiter and is more of a silver/blue finish. Using an XR-E Cree LED. They must have just hit the stores.

Nope. If you read the original post, it was a 3AAA light, as is mine. I never said mine used AAs. Mine is 65 lumens, not near 115. It uses a Cree XR-C l.e.d., not an XR-E. It actually is on Coleman's website. I didn't get it from Walmart, nor Coleman, but from Sports Authority. It isn't on Sports Authority's website. Mine was not a Walmart exclusive. My light is black, not silver. Please read more carefully before trying to correct me on something I can clearly confirm on my light's packaging. No offense intended. I just wanted to get things straight.

I wasn't correcting you, I was trying to clear up any confusion between the black version and the Coleman Max version. As the Director in charge of this product line at Coleman, I just saw that there was a lot of confusion as people are talking about three different lights in this post.
 
Re: Coleman Max Cree at walmart

FWIW... via email from Blacklight, this is the 3AAA Coleman MAX light that the OP is discussing. Its not the Exponent series that others have discussed in this thread.
