Has anybody had problems (as in do not work!!!) with Cree LED TORCHES from China???

[dave22ab]

Ive bought 2 and both didnt work, then get screwed around until the 90 days complaint time is up, wondering if there a dud product??

There are no common issues that I'm aware of. I've had 3 or 4 Cree High-intensity LED torches for over 18 months and have had no problems with any of them.

What's this 90-days you're talking about though? With Paypal you had only 45-days up to this month, although it's now 180 days for items purchased after November 1. Sounds like you have your wires crossed to me.

Yep...But i bought from one of Australias biggest hardware stores not ebay.

Bought 2 (very big named brands) cree bulbed torches and both sh## them selves after  10 -20 mins use (cree bulbs blew).And of cause,"made in china"

Took them back and got my refund.

Bought 3,yes 3, lenser torches German made which are very good..Hope this helps.

By the way....Lenser torches state the true lumens output not like some others that state their torches put out 1000 or even 2000 lumens but no brighter than a 200 lumens lenser..

Yes, i have purchased 4 torches from china. Two have now arrived, th other two should be here soon.

All good.

You do need to look at what you are buying. You cant just buy cree and expect perfection, you need to look T what cree and what the torch looks like.

Cn you put the links up o the torches you purchased ?

I can't recommend Fenix torches highly enough. They were designed and produced by 2 Chinese fellas who were sick to death of cheap Chinese **bleep**. These things are nothing short of amazing. Plus, they are pretty much indestructable. You can even freeze them and not have any issues. 

If it was me, I'd be spending the bit extra and looking into one of these. We got sick of cheap Chinese made torches too that were carp, so spent the bit extra and are over the moon.
