Hey guys need alittle advice, I couldn't decide on what colour to have my blade so someone say whay not have a white LED and just use coloured disks but i'm not sure what luxeon kit to use? I would think that cause the light will have to travel though the **** that it would have to be a powerful luxeon.
Please help :)

for white go with the luxIII kit with a p4 for the LED, though filtered will almost never be = to a color LED

lol @ light "traveling through the ****" :)

And... echo that--a P4 white + filter is the best option for white right now.

If you want to see what it looks like, I recently posted some pictures of a white P4 with colored filters in this thread:

Come on now, But I think with this system even with a quote an edit should change that one too.

no it won't I didn't use the standard quote reply, I manually copied in the text with no code reference to the original post. The forum code requires a reference in the quote tag to the post in order to alter it dynamically, I deleted it in that one.

ok then.

I really think we have derailed this topic quite a bit now. I think firebird would be proud.

if you want a red blade, definitely go with a lux III Red-O, I have one running on two 700ma pucks and the thing is painfully bright.

Ahh, jeez, Ya got me there!

I just posted this in another thread, just seconds ago. It's a Joe Jedi saber next to a red Lux III driven on a CF at 1500mA.

Pretty bright, eh? In person, it's a nice rich red. Can someone explain why red blades look yellow on camera?
