So I've decided to get 2 sabers at once because im making a double edged lightsaber, and decided for two diffrent colours with the Luxeon Rebel Star so

- Deep Red with 5.6 ohm 10w resistor for 6V setup and if i go with rechargable Nimh setup it's 4,8V I don't know too be honest, not too good with theese calculations because got confused with diffrent posts

- Cyan for 6V setup don't know Please tell, 4,8V setup don't know either so please tell =3

- Illuminated Light switch/"Anti-Vandal" switch for setup i understood as 220 Ohm and 1/4 W resistor for the red one
- Same but blue dont know resistor thought anyone knows ?

Use this link to get the right resister for each LED. LED Resister Chart (http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/wiringbuilder/wiring.aspx)

Click on the tab that says "Resister Chart". (when I go to the link above it opens me up to the "LED Chart" tab) You can use the drop down menus to bring up all the details for the batteries and LEDs you plan to use to get the correct resistors you need. Hope this helps you out with your build.

We have a lot of new LEDs that aren't in the resistor chart. Best to look up the values with an online calculator (or do the math yourself)

http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz is what I use.
