Hi there,

I thinked to convert my Mr Obi one using the K2 RoyalBlue.

So, I asked to Erv' to make a Driver/Dimmer to attach at the MR Soundboard!
He maked it, and he was wonderful: he overclocked his driver to 1.5A (to use with K2) :D

I used the corbin's wiring diagram to attach the Erv's driver to the Obi MR soundboard!

If it is useful to someone, this is the diagram I maked:

I'm not sure it is right or the best (because I don't understand quite anything of electronics), but I finished my conversion, and ... it works! :D

Yup, Erv has had requests on multiple fronts to go for 1.5A since no one is going for 750mA.

I suspect at some point I'll have to get more of Erv's drivers even though I have two coming! The wiring is simple enough too.

If it's working I don't think you need to worry. This seems pretty similar to the one Erv already made for the Luke ROTJ.

I still have to change the battery pack (I'm still using the stock 3x1.5V MR one),
but the Lux3 seems to be brighter than the K2 :shock:

Luke Lux3 vs Obi K2 (both with corbin's blade)

Well, you may not be getting it's full potential from the K2 with the stock batteries.

Also, the green color is just a more sensitive color to our eyes.

Theres also the important fact that blue isnt as bright lumen wise as green, even with the K2 version of it.

Wow ervs driver is tiny. I may have to get one of them for my next next project.

Yup, they are much smaller than Corbin's. That helps in tight situations. I'll be using two in my Parks'.

I thought those were being made just to hold a polycarb blade or dowel, not electronics.

Are you going to have your bored out more so it can?
