How sweet that sound is! Only you guys know.
Let me just start by saying thank you to all who answer and read these post. I have been building sabers for years and coming to this forum as long. I don't post much and I read everything. Most of the sabers I have built have been for others and always with no sound. Tried my hand at some MR boards and did well and felt the time was right to spend the money on some good boards. I got a NB 3 And CF 8.. Whoohoo.... only you guys know the satisfaction of that first bench test, after months or sometimes years acquiring all the parts for your ultimate saber, after days of learning and wiring, you pull that kill key and Boom...AAAAHHhh That sound.....Thanks everyone for all the great posts. Now I have everything wired to my NB I need to hear some opinions and one more question answered. I have 10 12w RGBW leds. The specs are
* Brightness: red: 70-90LM green:140-160LM blue:30-50LM white :160-220LM
* Wavelength: red: 620-625nm; green:520-525nm; blue:460-465nm; White 6000-7000K
* Forward Voltage:red: 2.2-2.5v green:3.2-3.4v blue:3.2-3.4v white :3.2-3.4v
* Forward Current: 700mA
I want to have the brightest that I can and my color will be green. But with this led I could use a small 3 position slide switch and have a red, green or blue blade and use white as FOC. Or I could get this from the custom saber shop
Green/Green/White Cree XP-E2 CopperNova
Green Cree Part# XPEBGR-L1-0000-00G01
130 Minimum Luminous Flux @ 350mA
Forward Voltage @1000mA = 3.58v
White Cree Part# XPEBWT-L1-0000-00F51
266 Minimum Luminous Flux @ 1000mA
Forward Voltage @1000mA = 3.15v
So I guess my question is. Is the tri-cree that much brighter that I would chose that over having three colors. And Please Ohms law is killing me Cold you please tell me what resisters I would need.. Thanks again..
And This is the battery I use
Li-Ion 18650 3.7V 2600mAh PCB Protected Rechargeable Battery Module
