Running Luxeon Tri Rebel. Can the Red LEDs be safely run at 1A? Their site says max current is 700mA, but elsewhere I've seen up to 1A, or even higher. Thanks!

For Rebels, about 750 mA would be the safe max, unless you want to replace the LEDs.

Rebels have the ~700mA limit on their warm (Deep Red, Red, RedOrange, Amber) colors, while the rest of the line has the ~1000mA limit, which is why it might show up differently in different areas.

Alternatively, you saw specs on Cree LED stars, which have the ~1000mA limit on all their colors.

You may have seen conflicting info from people like me... I overdrive my rebels quite a bit although I always make sure to say that I don't recommend it, and that if you do, Overdrive at your own risk but I have rebel reds, ambers and red oranges that I drive over 1A and I've had no issues with them. I have some deep reds but I haven't wired them up and played with them yet so I can't say anything about them.
