Lighting professionals trust Cree LEDs. Cree LEDs have gained a strong reputation for quality and performance. The color temperature choice depends on the light's use and personal taste. The smooth reflector creates a well-defined hotspot at the center. The AR coating is thin and applied to the lens surface. Mechanical switches are usually robust. The E1 flashlight has a rear switch.
