But that looks pretty bright. Is that really a single diode? If so what type LED Engine 10W?

They're LED stings sunrider. I like the different sounds with just the little adaptor.

Nice as always Makototsai.

"They're LED stings sunrider."

So there are three strings in the blade, RG&B? That's a lot of strings.:eek:

I belive his V3 blades have two strings so they are two strings of RGB LEDs. So at the very least there are 4 wires running down the blade, but I could be wrong.

Amazing blades, great work. I read you use HB RGB LED's (3mm?), could you pretty please post a link to where you found them. Maybe a link to whatever you use for driving the LED's and controlling the colors.
Thankyou, thankyou, THANKYOU so much! You're the best sabersmith I've ever seen.

I know I want a battle ready color changing v3 or v4 someday, I need to find a hilt worthy though.

hi~
the HB saber RGB LED is specical order,I think, you can't buy it with same brightness and quality in any where.

the led drive is specical design from me. I don't know how to explain that, sorry.
