You can also find these on eBay ranging from $15 to $20. I was looking at them the other day and ordered one for $11.85 without the pressure switch (other than that it looks identical as in your link). Unfortunately they send me another/cheaper model that doesn't say CREE or XM-L T6 on it, and it wasn't black either as in their pic, so I filed a dispute with eBay and the vendor who appears to be in China :(

Point of information - Cree doesn't make flashlights. They only make the LED bulbs that go in them. They currently produce some of the best available. Several manufacturers use their lamps.
When shopping for lights the inclusion of a Cree lamp is a plus, but not the whole story. Look also at the power source. If the source is 3 AAA batteries it won't be real bright. The 123 photo batteries are better. Better yet are the lights which use a 14500 or an 18450 rechargeable battery. These have a higher capacity.
The really compact lights will limit out at a Cree T5 lamp. The Cree T6 is far brighter but it requires more power than a really small flashlight can carry. Many larger lights will have a Cree T6 and recharge.
Happy shopping!!
