re: Cree Headlights Won't Power

CREE is an manufacturer of LEDs. American headquartered company. I'm assuming the lights are manufactured in china though. But they make good LEDs.

Most of these cheap really bright lights with CREE LEDs are just stuck in really cheaply manufactured chinese housings with chinese batteries by some no name manufacturer in china.

They can't be guaranteed to be durable or have tight tolerances or stand up to abuse. But they'll be as bright as lights that are 5x the cost. The batteries are really the biggest hit or miss part to me, but all the ones except the couple of batteries that were duds have done well for me.
