This Heatsink in Vader Conversion?

[chuck805]

Hey everyone,

I want to convert my Vader Force FX 2015 Lightsaber and I am planning on getting the Conversion Kit for it. Gonna put a Tri-Cree LED and was wondering if this specific heat sink module will fit in it? Thank you!

You do not need a separate heatsink, the blade socket in the conversion kit has a heatsink already:

That's what that copper disc in the picture is....it threads into the rear of the blade socket and secures your led and lens assembly.

oh okay thank but i want to put a tri cree in there, will the wires fit in that heatsink? And it says i need to buy lens holder, what is that?

That heat sink will work for a Tri Cree if you drill your own center hole. You don't need a lens holder for a Tri Cree, just the LED , its tri lens and the LED adhesive star with center hole. The lens holder is for a single color LED.

That sound board will likely not provide enough current to run a tri-cree....you'll have to wire the three led's in a parallel set, up which requires triple the current, in most cases, 3 amps. I doubt that soundboard will supply that kind of current.
