Tri-rebs vs Cree

[darkeyedkid]

Hey hey. I noticed these new crees since the last time I visited the shop and they seem to perform a bit better than the standard rebels. But how might those with experience with these crees say they hold up against the tri-reb? Let's say a royal blue cree versus a royal blue tri reb wired in parallel? At least as far as brightness goes?

Crees are brighter, hence the transition.

On a single die basis, the Crees are brighter. Comparing a Tri-Rebel to a single die Cree? The Tri-Rebel will *probably* win in terms of brightness. You can overdrive the Crees a lot on the new pads, so that might not be true if overdriving is involved.

Multi-die Crees are on the way. Patience is a virtue.

If single die brightness of these new Crees actually stacks up to a Tri-rebel then I might have to buy a bucket load of the new Tri-crees when they become available to upgrade all of my sabers! I'm looking forward to some pics and videos as people start putting these new parts into service.

Tri Crees aren't "new", per se, they have been around for a little while, it's just that their use wasn't that commonly known. It'll be the first time they will be carried in the store. Many Sabersmiths have known about, and currently use them. I've played with one, and will be using them for my next "bunch" of sabers.

True enough. I've looked at them elsewhere, but never got around to ordering one for experimentation. It'll be nice to have a reliable and trusted source for XP-E2 LEDs right here at TCSS.

Will we also move to tri-cree's?

As I've said elsewhere, it is in the works.

Thanks FJK, I hadn't caught up on all my previous mail yesterday. I responded here first, and found your responce to that elsewhere after. Thanks for replying here as well.

I heard that the brightest you can get is the Tri CREE XPE-2s
