Parts list for my first saber

[maputo]

Hi there,

in the last few days I looked around and read a lot in this forum, but I am still not sure, if I got it right.

Any comment is highly appreciated as I have to order from Europe and I would like to get it all in one delivery.

Hilt style 3 with guarded style switch hole + 1-3/16" ID Black O-ring
MHS deep ribbed extension
Screw on LED blade holder style 20 + 8-32 x 3/8" Stainless Steel thumb screw
MPS Pommel style 7
MPS Insert style 5 + 6 as substitute if sound is to poor
MPS Clip

Rebel Star LED & MHS Heatsink Module (Luxeon Rebel Star (White))
12 Colored Discs
LED "TCSS style" Battle blade 1" OD (30 inches)

MWS Pre-Wired Nano Biscotte Sound Module
MWS Guarded Style Momentary Switches
MHS speaker and 4x AAA battery holder
1.5ohm 5w resistor (between NB and LED)

4 Ni-MH Sanyo/Panasonic Eneloop Micro Akkus AAA (1,2 V) (Model 4HR-4UTG-SECP-BP)

Especially for the resistor calculation I am uncertain: http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz?VS=4.8;VF=3.1;ID=1000 . The wiz proposes 1.8 ohms, 1.8 Watt. Can I use the "1.5ohm 5w resistor" here ?

Thanks for your help,

Martin

I don't see any issues. The 1.5 ohm resistor should do fine. The Rebel whites can take a reasonable amount of overdriving.

Thanks for checking. Then I will give it a try....
