G'day guys,
I recently upgraded my sabre from a simple flashlight setup to now have US2.5 and the blade is considerably dimmer.
The saber is built from all MHS parts.
Electronically it originally had the following parts:
2AA holder
2x Trustfire 14500, 900mAh 3.7V protected
700mA Buckpuck
Green Lux V
Guarded latching switch
Now after a complete rebuild it has the following electronic componentry:
US2.5 MHS Sound/Speaker/Battery holder combo (2AA)
2x Trustfire 14500, 900mAh 3.7V protected
Green Lux V
Guarded Momentry Switch.
I originally thought the overall dimness had to do with the pulse setting on the US2.5 and the 6 foot of cellophane in the blade so I removed the blade and held the blade emitter close to a wall to see how bright the led was. The result was a lot dimmer with the US2.5.
I even changed the Led to a Lux V Blue and it is considerably dimmer than my FX-Sabers Graflex V SE both using the same blades.
I have checked all my solder connections and they appear fine. I have basically connected the 2 switch wires to the momentary switch and the 2 led wires to the Lux V.
This one has me really befuddled. Your help would be appreciated.
