Can someone help me outfit my hilt?

[woodman]

I have an MHS hilt I put together and I really dont know what electronics to buy to fit it with a red blade. Can someone help me pick the kit? If you can help me that would be great.

just go to the store, look in the LED specific section and then the "Kits" section you will see THIS (http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Build-Your-Own-Seoul-P4-Electronics-Kit-P469.aspx) product.

Select the Red LED and you are set.

If you want sound you will have to order the Petit Crouton soundboard and read the manual and posts here on the site to see how to wire it.

Just an FYI and not meant to be a flame or anything negative, this question could easily have been answered without ever having to ask it just by simply reading a few posts in the LED Hilts and wiring discussion (http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/forumdisplay.php?13-LED-hilts-and-wiring-discussion) or the New to the saber scene? Start Here (http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/forumdisplay.php?35-New-to-the-saber-scene-Start-Here) thread.

Read, read, read :) the answers are mostly already here.

Well first of all, whats your budget?
Either you want to go cheap and nasty, with just the LED batteries and sound board.
or
You got with a more elaborate setup with an LED driver, lithium batteries, in hilt recharge system etc.

Second, how bright do you want it to be?

Last, how good are you with electronics?
If you don't have much experience it dosn't matter, everyone has to start somewhere.

Let us know and I'm sure we can help you out :p

Thank you both for the help. I bought the kit and should have no troubles installing it. It just seemed like there was alot more to it but the kit looks very simple. I got a blade, tip and diffuser as well.
