everyone says you can't put an k2 led in an vader MR so why does this guy say he did.

It can be done but unless some rewiring is done the k2 will not operate at the full output

If you use a relay to try to get the highest output it does that. If you don't it'll work fine, but you won't be getting much if any of it's benefits. Also that's quite odd... a K2 Red is pretty pointless.

ahh now I understand. for some reason I thought you had to use a relay with a k2. Ok got it. thanks guys

edit: on the note of the red led, I mistakenly bought 2 1watt reds, so I thought I wander what one would look like in my mhs saber, let me tell ya it looks a heck of alot better than my green does. now I won't burn up the 1 watt will I?

The red runs at just under 3v optimum. You may need to put a different resistor in there to avoid burning it up.

I'm running it straight from the Maul MR board. will it hurt the board or just the led?

good, I don't really care if I burn up that little 1 watter. I plan on getting a 3 watt anyhows.
