McR-8 and Luxeon Rebel.... anybody?

[ViReN]

:nana: Last light I had an idea, let me share it with you, how about a ultra powerfull 1AAA (Li or Li-Ion) with Luxeon Rebel and McR-8 Reflector.

Has any one tried Luxeon Rebel and McR-8 Reflector?

With a drive current of 200 mA, the PWT measured 8 lumens on my equipment

I just seen this I think it could be a prefect reflector for Rebel too.... but with much more Lumens on hand

I would love for Don to make us a 1aaa or 1AA Ti light with that setup.

Can you combine the McR8 with the rebel?


thanks

The McR-8 might collimate reasonably with the Rebel but you would be shooting wasted light out the sides of the LED without it entering the reflector, I believe. I haven't had any time to really delve into the Rebel yet.

What do you mean Don?
How would you be wasting light, It wont fit the rebel like the McR10 does?

Thanks :green:
