Nice lamp, but the idea was just so tempting I had to take the one thats not in use appart and this is what I find.
This controller is in a little plastic case.

A litle diffacult to see but I will tell you whats going on here.
Ok the main house wire comes into the lamp, There is a wirenut connecting one main wire and the black wire on the board.
The onther main wire is connected to the red wire on the board.
The Wite wire on the board is connected to 3 black wires going up into the lamp to the lights.
Theres 3 white wires comming down from the lamp lights that is connecting to the main house wire and the red wire in a wire nut.
The yellow wire is connected to the metal lamp itself so that would be the touch sensor.
Not the board itself is actually farly small. smaller than an mr board. Maybe 1.5"X1" and is no taller than an mr board.
Iam unsure of the company that makes these lamps but my guess is that there the same basic design with all touch lamps.
Now How would you wire this thing up for use in a lightsaber?
I got the idea about how to isolate this yellow wire to it only works when its isolated so it works in one spot only and not the whole hilt.
With the new mps it will be alot easyer to do this.
