Hey everyone,

I searched the forum for this but coudln't find an answer, and there is no diagram for it.
I was wondering how to run the Red Rebel (max 700 mA, 3.5V) over a 6V battery. Which resistor or BuckPuck do I need?

[Jedi-Loreen]

Well, you could use this Buck puck:

You'll have to use a formula to figure out what resistor you'd need.

A buck puck is more efficient and will keep a constant current output, unlike a resistor.

Noice! Thanks.

What about Voltage?

[Jedi-Loreen]

The buck puck will only output the voltage that the particular LED needs to take from it.

Alrite, could've figured that one out as well if I would just think for a minute

Hopefully I'll have my own first lightsaber soon

Use a 1000mA buckpuck. The rebels can take up to 1000mA at their max rating.

Hey guys I'm upgrading to the Rebel, but I did not find it on the resistor chart. Any one know off hand what I would need or could link me to a place I can find it.

P.S. I don't have much room for a buck puck, and I can get resistors cheap down the street lol.

Thanks all.

And I already talked to you in the Shoutbox, too.

Finding an online resistor calculator is not hard. I found this nifty little one that has colors to tell you what the numbers are that you're plugging into it and there they are in the circuit.

I had read elsewhere on the forum (I can't find it right now, I found this thread looking for it.) that the Luxeon 3w driver v2 will not be able to fully illuminate the Luxeon Rebel.

I was curious if there is a board sold in the store that can take full advantage of the Rebel?

Or for right now, is it best to stay with a 1000mA?

EDIT::: would this do it with no dimming, as long as it was set to 1000mA? http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Ad...iver-P497.aspx

((also I double checked, this is not a necro post.))

Where did you read that? I've never heard that. The 3w v2 driver will drive it just fine.
