also i was just wondering, seeing as how i have never worked with any kind of electronics never soldered any thing, how do i know which point on the led is the positive and which is the negitive? thanx in advance for all of the help[:D]

There is no purple luxeon. That's why we need filters. The LED will have +'s and -'s on them.

Sorry guy the Luxeon does not come in purple, you will have to use white with a filter to make a purple saber. The led has the solder pads maked positve and negative so it is easy to tell them apart.
The other option for a purple blade is to use uV leds to get a purple color, check the thread index and look for purple led I posted some pictures and diagrams there to make a purple blade.

ok so then how do i get the blade to look purple? should i get a white lux 3 and use the color disc or should i look for something else?

[xwingband]

That is your only option, a white led and a filter (discs, those index tabs, etc...).

I'm fast like that.[:D]

I completely forgot you could use Do-clo's UV setup, but that might be much since you said you've never soldered.

[xwingband]

That one is a clash version and there is no way around it without having a seperate driver or hacking the clash senor off and lose the clash sound too.

ok thats fine i can do with out the clash sound so what part do i need to hack off to do that... also can you explain to me how the wireing goes on that diagram i dont really understand it that well thanx for your help

this is neymore, formorley marty123

[Do-Clo]

If you follow the wiring from the picture of the actual sound board you will see how to hook it up. I believe that you just remove the clash sensor and then it should no longer flash on contact but you will also loose the clash sound effect.

[xwingband]

Yup it pretty straight forward. There are two battery wires (the outer ones) and the middle one is the lamp wire. The lamp wire goes on a positive point then put a wire from the negative of the LED to the negative of the battery.
