Buckpuck wiring help
Hi
I need some help, have been looking all over and cant find what im looking for. basically i have a lux III red and want it to be as bright as possible for my first build saber. i have a 2.2ohm 5w resistor and 2 x 700mA bucks, which will give me a brighter blade with 4aaa battery? also how would i wire the 2 bucks to get 1400mA, do i litterally wire them together then wire up the led, batt and switch as normal?
Please help
The connecting of two buck pucks together is covered in some post on buck pucks but in my opinion you would need a 1.5 ohm resistor with the 4 aaa pack for max brightness
thanks, on the wiring guide it shows the 2.2ohm but i can try the 1.5
will this significantley affect the life of the led?
Considering that most if not all LEDs go for about 100,000 hrs at full power and voltage, I don't think 1 ohm is gonna make any difference. Most of us will have passed away by the time the LED decides to bite the dust.Originally Posted by Shuyin_Cho

And if not, LED's are relatively cheap

It's not the LED....And if not, LED's are relatively cheap
It's TAKING APART THE DARN SABER!!!
Ok, so I had a bad LED burnout experience....
Got a Question? There's a thread for that...

Sabers aren't hard to take apart to replace LEDs when you use MHS blade holders and quick connects on your LEDs.

you must sometimes risk the Dark.

Yeah, unless you're using the 1.25" bladeholder and you locktighted it to the hilt and locktighted the LED to the heatsink and you didn't have anydethreader and had to get it done by the next day or a birthday kids would be very sad because his lightsaber didn't light up and the parents would be upset because they payed a lot of money for a saber that didn't light up and you stayed up past midnight rewiring the speaker you broke off because you were wrestling with the bladeholder end and didn't think to watch the other electronic componets because you were running on coffee................
