The 900 lumens that they rate it is 'emitter lumens', which isn't really what you see. It's probably closer to 200-300 'torch lumens'.

well from what i've been told was rebels actually suck, they look good on paper but in all actuality they don't do good.
You've been told wrong. Rebels rival Lux V's in some cases.
I'm not basing that off of paper, I've seen the results first hand.
I have a red Rebel here that won't even light up a blade....the only Rebels that Rival Luxeon V's are the greens and blues. There never has been a Red Luxeon V, since the red and red/Orange Lux III's were the brightest red Luxeons produced.
Got a question? Start Here. Have you tried the Thread Index yet? Most questions can be answered there.
Dont forget that there are a lot of versions of the rebels so if you got the dimmer versions you are obviously going to have worse results.

I guess that would be the 'some cases' I mentioned, lol. I own a green and a blue, and both are as bright (or nearly) as Lux Vs.
I would figure that reds would be dimmer, naturally, because of the wavelength they reside in (just like the violets).
I guess I'm just trying to say that it's unfair to say all Rebels suck.

Single color Tri-Reb anyone? I am going to see how bright they are with the correct optics. May be a cool addition to the TCSS inventory.
Something something something dark side,
something something something complete.
I thought that there were no optics for the tri rebels?
