My own Rebel

nanotech17 · Sep 6, 2007

My Rebel emitter arrived today from DX (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4622)
I just swapped the emitter in this flashlight (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4540)
And run it with BS 2xcr123 and here it turns out to be :-

Dmini clone with Q5 star

JB MKIIx with LiFo 3.0v cell

Good job there, any pictures showing the rebel in the reflector?

Hopefully soon they will have some Rebel 100 stars! Nice mod nano!

Hey,

Nice large hotspot for the rebel. Where is the spill?.

Off topic but:

I also did the D-mini clone Q5 mod.

The tight focussed beam is hard to beat for outdoor use. One of my favorite cheapo.

Thanks!

but it was quite huge

Howdy nanotech17 :wave:

Just a wonderin if I might ask a question..... or two now, I reckon?

How did you mount the Rebel and get power to it? I am not familiar with that flashlight and viewed on my monitor, the picture just doesn`t help. Haven`t seen a Rebel in person to play with one yet but some of those little bad boys should be in the mail and arriving real soon... like today, I hope.

oo:

Thank you

It's a piece of cake - i use this glue thermal compound (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4579) and once it set dry i just soldered the lead wires

as the Rebel was already mounted on a board itself.

Nnotech17,

Didn`t realize the Rebel came mounted on a board. It`s obvious now that I should have clicked on your link that you were kind enough to put in the first post.

Sorry but it`s also obvious now that.......... :stupid:

Thank you for the reply with a link I did check out and appreciate! :thumbsup:

thie rebel really kick some a$$ - when i compare to Q5 from the same vendor this little rebel still stands on it's own despite vary in colour temperature but once you are outdoor with this little guy - you'll know how strong this little guy is

wait 'till you get yours.
