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.

[RevengeoftheSeth]

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.

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.

so what's the difference between a dimmer rebel and a bright one, what's the data on those?

[Skottsaber]

The bright ones are obviously the ones in the store
There is data there.

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.

[Darth Xanthus]

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.

[Skottsaber]

I thought that there were no optics for the tri rebels?
