Luxeon K2 info

[LAN-ED-TUL]

but they do look dimmer, to me at least.. i can tell the difference in brightness between the red and the blue lux. and the red/orange and either the red or blue. there is a definate brightness output that, at least i, can see. many say you cant tell any difference, but, in my case i do see the levels of brightness between them.

Try taking off the Darth Vader helmet when you compare the brightness of the blades. [8D] Just take a deep breath and hold it, or check them out in your meditation chamber. []

So... it's past March... any word on the K2s yet?

They have been out for quite a while... just not in a star form.

Kind of off topic but I went to an electronics store here in Melbourne and they sell Lux 3's and 5's.

Guess how much they cost?

3w = $30AUD
5w = $70AUD

Can you believe that? Crikey!

Yep unfortunately you want the newest brightest you got to pay.

Wow, steep, buy AUS they cost alot.

I spoke some more with Ron (tech support) at luxeonstar.com

Says also K2 has a wait right now, like a back order of a couple of months.

He also said since they get alot fo requests for what best to use for sabers, that they were looking to do some testing and get some data soon, on whats best to use.

I dont know what type Tim is selling, the info in the store is not specfic in some ways.

Like the following as I am learning.

Is it a L2 type lens ? or it is a Fraen ? Ron recommends the Fraen lens.

Does anyone know what type tim sells ? I mean I know the guy is trying to sell a product also. But I thought perhaps you knew, if it was the L2 or the Fraen type lens.

I am not intending on buying from luxeon, unless its a item Tim dont offer.

I just dont see it posted on the sale info of the item.

The guy from luxeon is going to tell you anything to get your money. Trust Tim, what he sells is the best for sabers at this time and the optic lens that he sells works very good with the saber setup. The K2 may become useful for sabers but right now it only comes in the componet style so it takes some skill to use it in a saber, later if they offer it with a base attached then we will have something to work with.

Tim sells collumnator lenses. Others uses faern lenses (Ultra I want to say uses or used them), but it doesn't make a difference since the K2's wont fit the standard lenses. I believe they're a slight bit larger.

I also doubt luxeon will be doing saber tests. There's not much to tell. 3W Lambertains are the niche right now because batwings aren't so suited (useable though), and 5W with heat and power requirements are beasts.
