P2D with Rebel ??

[Budman231]

Would I notice a big difference between the P2D-XE and the P2D-Rebel (100) ?? Trying to figure out if I should upgrade...

There's about 25lm difference between the P3D CE and the P3D Rebel, so take it from there. That's actual lumens out the front.

if you got a cree p2d stick with it. if you are buying a first p2d go with the rebel.

The biggest difference you may notice is a nicer tint. From everyone I've heard from who has a Rebel 100 they notice it's the best tint they've seen from a LED to date. Also the beam should be cleaner due to no bonding wires. However, I'm pretty happy with my P2D Q2 and I will probably skip the Rebel 100 version and wait for either a R bin CREE, or a higher lumen Rebel.

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll wait...

What's the output of the Rebel compared to the Cree XR-E and then what are the runtimes to support them?

I have a P2D CE and I was wanting a P3D CE. I hear the Rebel is brighter, but is it more efficient, same, or worse?

Thanks,
