Hey all, just wondering what would be the best battery/cap pairing for my LED's. My saber is running a tri-cree 2 Amber 1 white (for flash on clash) and I'd just like to know what would achieve the best results. Cheers!

Welcome to the Forums!

It depends partially on what sound card you are using. Normally we don't need capacitors for LED sabers.

Oh really? That's interesting. I will be using a nano-biscotti sound card, if that helps.

Yes, because we will know what board you are using and what battery solution (two large factors). When you read through the manual, you will need resistors for each of the dies in question. There are several tutorials (including one I wrote) that cover Ohm's Law.
