lol for a second i got lumens and mA mixed up.

Is somethng like this available bright enough for a saber?

yup, it's called a RGB led. 3 one watters on one mount. or you can wait for the Tri Lux to come out, that one holds three 3 watters

Don't pay attention to Maul... he didn't look at it enough. That's more like a decoration LED. Too dim.Originally Posted by Geneticus
Prolight makes some RGB's... a bunch of smaller companies too. Lamina included.

but there are RGBs that you can use for sabers.
i didn't say you could use that one, just that there are some out there

Ok I think that's the Crux, the Lumens is the important stat correct? the LEDs from that page seemed to have really high levels, but maybe I'm missing something. a difference in how manufacturers calculate brightness maybe? like Hard drive manufacturers using metric calculations to get 200GB when computers use Binary to read the same disk as 170GB?Originally Posted by xwingband
Well, most small LEDs are measured in mcd (micro candelas). High brightness ones are in lumens.
There is a convertor online, but it admits it's rather limited and by no means exact. Usually you can look at the amperage draw too. Those are only 20mA. That's decoration LEDs, high brightness ones start to get in at like 350mA and up.
