Simple question for y'all. I recently killed about half of the LEDs on my Luke ESB, and I'm not really interested in trying to find a way to restore and/or replace them using the MR "string cheese" method. I haven't had much experience with electronics and soldering, but I was thinking that it can't be too hard to gut the Luke entirely, and take some of the parts from the LED modular hilt system and use them in the Luke hilt.
Specifically, these parts:
LED/Blade holder style 1
2.2ohm Resistor
Luxeon III 3w
10 degree Lens and holder
Switch03
4AAA battery holder
I realize that the stock MRFX sound module would probably not work with the battery pack and voltage limitations of 4 AAA (this isn't too vital), and that successfully disassembling the Luke ESB is a nightmare in itself, but how hard could it possibly be? I'll also be needing to get another blade, as the current one is busted up pretty bad. Is there anything that I'm missing, will everything fit into the hilt properly, and am I getting in over my head? Any input would be appreciated.
