Want the brightest red led that will work in this headlamp. Single mode or three mode.

Thanks in advance,
Joel

You can use :LZ4-00R100 - LED Engin It's 10W red led (4 emitters inside) you will have to find the star that allows them to be connected in parallel (there is also series one).

Thank you for the reply. I don't know anything about building lights but am trying to build a bright headlamp for coyote hunting. What is the star? How do I connect them in parallel? What does series mean? Sorry for being a pain. No one makes a bright red led headlamp, so I am attempting to build one

The red color kinda defeats the high-output option. I have a NiteCore headlamp with the alternate mode of two little red LEDs. How about a regular headlamp with a red filter? You'll get better output that way.

LED's have very little red wavelength so a red filter is not going to pass much through.

The Cree XP-E or XP-E2 are easy to get hold of.

You'll need to put a new driver in also - 1 to 1.4A will be pretty bright.

Without seeing inside the light I can't tell you what sized star it needs or driver diameter.
