Get a 3W red LED and one of Xwing's blades. That will give you the brightest possible setup.

If you want sound, get a CF or Ultrasound. They are hard to come by, but a new run of CFs will be in stock in March.

welcome to the forum! I would suggest a red or red/orange lux III, they drive at about 1500 MA if your going to do a resistor or buckpuck setup, the US and CF boards have specific settings for them.

Yes welcome to the forums. Like they said use red or red orange those only come in Lux. III. If It is a wall saber it depends on how much you will use it and show it off. If you won't that much then don't get sound. If you will a little bit then get a MR sound board with a 3w driver. If you will be using and showing it off alot then get a more decent (but spendy) sound board like they were saying, a Crystal Focus Saber Core or Ultra Sound. They both power the board very good.:cool:

Hi all and thnx for you replay, so where do I buy the Xwing's blades? and yes I will use my saber but not that often and as I said before to show of with it sometimes.I will go with CF when/if its avalible in march hopefully.

I do already have 2 3W luxeon LED one white and one Red/orange but not the LuxIII version which I understand are brighter and will therefore buy one of them for this project.
