Those Jewels/LEDs on Ep 2 Anakin and Darth Sidious Sabers, how do you do them?

They almost look like LEDs, but not quite. And if they are LEDs, they don't look like the ones I've seen at Radiou Shack. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yup, those are LEDs. They're just the really low powered ones. The higher powered ones are clear. I think Radio shack only sells red ones like that.

You could probably get them on ebay

Thanks for the info guys. Do they use a washer around the LED?

Nope, it's inset into the hilt and flush mounted.

Depends on the hilt. If were close to being solid ot at least thick enough I'd drill it and glue it in there.

I imagine it'd be difficult with a more hollow saber. With using the MHS and a sink tube (like I am), it might be easier, but still pretty hollow.
