  1. #1

    Default tri rebel? please help

    what kind of led is this? I got this in the auction package from tcss. can I find a lense and lense holder? its green and i like it. I want to use it. thanks also not sure if its 3w 5w or what any help would be great.



    also on my rebel deep read it says "saber" on it and this says "endor".... I think these led companys knew what these leds would be use for lol.

    You can i think. But you have to do some fancy wiring. I am no expert and never had a pc. But from what i have read and seen here you can. here is the manual for the pc

    Yeah next Friday I'm ordering the rest of the hilt for my graflex replica. I can't find a lense holder and the lesnses only go down to 18 degrees... I really like this color green. I wonder if Tim can give me suggestions...

    Yes and no. Most that use the 3 rebel setup mount them on a star that puts them much closer together in the center of the board. Most run 2 leds off the sound board and 1 led off a PE for FoC. You can't run 3 in series from the PC cause it exceeds the maximum voltage of the soundboard. Most have given up on the 3up setup because optics are not available for our applications.

    Tim is great! He has helped me with all kinds of crazy questions. ya finding lenses for these looks like its going to be a problem. I have seen people hear make there own from flash lights but cant recall where.
    My red lit up great i was happy when i got it. So in my travels around here if i see any more info i will let you know.
    Trying to find a good 10 watt amber cheep is my new problem lol

    Thank you sunrider, sorry if this was a waste. I really like the green is thus color green the same as the rebel green in the store?

    The only optics you can really get for that LED are a reflector. Thats why many prefer the LEDEngin LEDs.

    Yeah some of us had high hopes for these when they were first introduced...even the name "Endor" seemed prophetic of triple-bright sabers to come...

    ...but any prophecy remained unrealized because suitably narrow focus collimating optics for the Endor never arrived...we waited, and waited, and waited...

    So the hobby moved past it to the LEDEngin 10w quads for which suitable optics are readily available; for our saber purposes its not enough to have a bright LED, its about getting that brightness up a narrow tube and two dice of a quad with good optics can beat a triple without good optics...as mentioned your best bet will be a reflector with that Endor LED.
