As recently as November, 2015, Banggood was calling this flashlight the Meco Cree Q5 on the same web page. To Banggood's credit, when disassembly of some of them revealed that the emitter used was made by LatticeBright rather than Cree, Banggood deleted the reference to Cree.

Thank you, Banggood! You guys did the right thing as soon as the information came to light.

Post #391 of this thread contains a beam shot comparison of the Meco Q5 with the original LatticeBright emitter and the same flashlight after a Cree XR-E Q5 had been installed. The two flashlights are side-by-side in the beam shot. One of the beams looks decidedly weaker and bluer than the other.
