Thread: Lime/Lime/Neutral White Rebel Tri-Star resistors

  1. #1

    Default Lime/Lime/Neutral White Rebel Tri-Star resistors

    I will be running a nano biscotti v2 with power extender for FoC with the TCSS Panasonic 18650 3400mAh battery. Just wondering what resistors I should use for the LED's. The white LED is to be wired for the flash while the two lime LED's are going to be wired in parallel for the blade color.

    I don't know what resistor, but the MUR410G diode will work. Ive used them for the lime LEDs in a very similar setup.

    Thanks! Should I just leave the white alone?

    The white needs 3.25V right? that could be a 1ohm 2 watt resistor, or you could you that same diode.
    You could also use the 1ohm 2watt resistor for the limes, but I believe the MUR410G diode gives the Lime (and probably white) more power while still being safe.

    I use 1ohm 2W in my lime rebel saber. Even though they're not always perfect, I always keep plenty of those resistors around, I use them often.

    Thanks for the options guys! I'll just have to try them both and see which works best for me!

    Id be curious if it made a noticeable difference. If you do try both post pictures

    Just out of curiosity, if I were to upgrade to the petit crouton and a 7.4v 18650 battery what would I use?

    It depends on how you wire things. If you wire the Limes in serial, and attach them to the main channel, you wouldn't need a resistor at all.

    Oh rad, does wiring them in serial make them any less bright?
