Did I miss the LED sink tube blade holders or was I accidently looking at EL holders in stock? Not the MHS ones, just the set screw blade holder.

Could have been the EL holders, I seem to recall that there was an odd plug installed on the base instead of a heat sink.

Or I could just be losing my mind...[:p]

Yeah, there are still EL sink tube holders. Tim has switched to having the adapter and machining the modular holders down instead of stocking two LED holders.

so the 1.5" sink tube blade holders under EL hilts, can you use those for led and do they hold a 1" blade or 3/4"?

i think i just answered my own question, but it looks like it won't have a heat sink so i guess they won't work. I can't find a sink tube blade holder for led without having to use the adaptor.

Yes from what I gather if you plan on using any of these hilt parts you need the sink tube adapter.

If ou go with blade holder style 1 it has a heat sink on it, other wise the heat sink is attached to the led.

This is a good pic of what iam talking about.

Yup, you need the adapter to hold the heatsink up there. The original version of the plain sink tube holder was like the conversions where the heatsink was bolted on but Tim stopped making it them. The floating heatsink is a much better solution.

I don't get what you mean by that... any of the holders comes with a heatsink. They all work the same way, that's what makes them modular and swappable.

oh, I thought I read somewhere that the style one was the only one with a heatsink on it.

If you use any of the emitters you'll need the adapter for a 1.5" sink tube.

oh and one more question, does blade holder style 1 with the adapter on it fit down inside the 1.5" sink tube? so if i wanted to make it look like anakins rots i could?

Yup, it slides into a sinktube.

Do the MHS holders have heatsinks too? So if I get a MHS lux holder, I won't need the quick change led kit? :? Tim told me that to get I heatsink I have to buy a quick change kit...

If you want to get a heatsink without buying a blade holder you do.
