Hi,
First will the Cree XP-E2 20mm work with this converter? It appears compatible in size to the Luxeon Rebel which I have read will work.
I am going for a red only color.
- 3-way vs. 1-way: Both the Cree and Lux Rebel come in 1-way and 3-way configurations. I will likely power through a buckpuck and 2 14500 batteries. (700ma for Lux, 1000ma for Cree). My question: is there a brightness difference between the 1-way and the 3-way? I know, doh 3 is better, but I don't know if the die used on the 1-way is as bright as the combined 3 since they are both rated at the same current draw.
- The 3-ways have 18 degree optics and the 1-way have the 8 degree optics. The 8 degree optics seems to be what gets the best look? Not sure if that makes enough difference to make my decision?
- Are the Cree XP-E2 brighter than the Lux Rebel configuration or just draw more power?
I hope these questions are direct enough to make sense. I tried to eliminate too much "depends" type questions.
