LED quick question

[goldsaberwarrior]

Don't know if I posted on this or not before. Anyway what's the difference in the Lux3, K2 and Lux5 LEDs?

try a search

i really don't feel like re answering this question

having made almost 150 posts, it makes me wonder how much you have read. This is not only appearant from pictures issuing a comparison that have been posted here, but also a quick glance at the specs or even the resistor chart could tell you.

Brightness and power draw mostly.

supertrogdor out of my nearly 150 posts I never read anything on the difference because I never thought there was much of one before. That and didn't have enough money to build a saber before. Finally the guardian is coming together. YEAH.

ill review all of them for ya. but this is the last time.

Lux o
-The Infamous 1 watt LED
-Generates less heat than 3w, k2, and 5w
-Pretty Dim
-Cheap
-Can use a resistor


Lux 3w
-The Easiest to work with
-Heat is not an issue with this, as Tims heatsinks will put up with it
-Almost any driver can run this. Corbins driver, Buckpuck, Ervs Crystal focus v2, Ultras Sound board, Etc
-Brighter than Lux o
-Can use a resistor

Lux 5w
-Heat Still is not an issue with this if used with a heatsink
-Ultras sound board is the only known sound board that can work easily with this, although I think Erv is working on a 5w soundboard. I think so i might be wrong
-Way brighter than 3w
-Can use a resistor

Lux K2
-Generates Far less heat than a 5w
-As Bright as a 5w
-Can use a resistor
-Ultras sound board can be used with this
-Only Problem is that the dome holding in the LED Element is as soft as gel

Lux Rebel
-Generates Less heat than K2
-Brightness in between 3w and 5w (at least for me)
-Can use a resistor
-No known drivers for this



BTW im speaking from experience on all those LEDS, I just recieved my rebel and tested it out and its really bright! for such a small LED its bright!!!!!

This is answered pretty good in the beginners section also

I feel like a noob.

I feel like a noob.

you should spend a couple days just reading the posts. everything will make more sense afterwards

[goldsaberwarrior]

Okay I suppose I had that one comming. :P
