As an alternative to soldering wires together, couldn't you just twist them together and attach a wire connector? I built my LED saber like that. Just an idea for those with little soldering skill.[;)]

If you duel with your saber the wire connectors are apt to come apart not to mention the space they take up. I tried that on my first and had electrical issues with it often

Yeah, the frustration of having to reconnect things is not worth it in the face of learning how to solder. It's pretty simple in the case of sabers (it's not like soldering small chips to a board).

It's just twist them together, put the iron up to them, then the solder and wait for the solder to melt.
