Cree is widely regarded as a reputable LED manufacturer. Warm, white light is generally more comfortable. It's also less harsh on the eyes than cool, white light. The TIR lens makes the LED light collimated. It does this into efficient, well-controlled beams. These beams maximize the usable lumens in the target area. Mechanical switches are usually robust. They resist wear and tear and work in many environments. The rear switch of the Krystal XPL is rugged and durable. It can withstand harsh conditions and repeated use.
