LedEngin LEDs: 5W, 10W, and 15W Discussion

[JANGO FETT]

I'm going to rewire Mara Jade in the future, and I am wondering, what the experts would recommend.
MJ has a 7.2 NiMH 6 cell power supply. CF 4.0 installed.

RGBA Ledengin
RB in series with a G or A clash flash?

Cree RGBW
RB in series with a W clash flash?

The Cree is not rated for a high current or voltage value, and is similar to a Seoul P5.
The LedEngin RGBA can take more current and voltage.

I'm going for a better purple and a brighter blade and clash flash.
opinions?

MJ current

Ya know, I was just talking to Nova today about his recent experiments with some LedEngin reds and blues that made some pretty tight purples with clash flash...you may want to talk to him. He was very pleased with his results.

You're such a perfectionist JANGO.  I think your current MJ purple is pretty nice actually...so I look forward to seeing whatever you do to improve on it.

Jango, if you use the RGBA and run the G for the clash flash, it will be purple with a purplish white clash flash.  It comes out almost white with just a tinge of purple and is Uber bright.  It will blow the CREE away   Trust me, you will love the effect .

Agreed, that is the way  I would go.

Well all good people, I was thinking this over;

I will thank you guy's and gall's, for the time and MONEY you've put into this comparisons and experiments.
It's A LOT you're doing for us.
It's great of you sharing it too.
A deep bow from me.
 

I thought it needed to be said.

[LUMINARA UNDULI]

Yes, they are gignamous

[erv]

[Mersenne]

you've got a good sense of humour mate, I'd let you be an honorary Aussie
with or without an attached CF as a bribe on your application

[erv]

lol  I'm glad a local AU picked that one. My friend Damian tought me this idom long ago, and I got it then as back of burk. Thanks to wikipedia and google I got the right spelling & origin !

[Mersenne]

you used it well erv
