Yet another BYB saber, I have always thought this style would make a cool purple saber. It is a 3 watt luxeon with a 1000 ma buckpuck led driver and a 40 inch polycarbonater blade with Tims blade diffuser.

I finished my new saber this afternoon it is a one that I have been building for myself. It has a MR FX sound board and one of Corbins LED drivers driving the led. It has a Ultra sabers fiber optic blade.

I've been trying different combinations of purple. 4 AAA,TCSS electronics kit, TCSS Battle Blade.
First, a Lux 3 UV Star:

This is a 3/4", 30" long blade with a meter of polypropylene film and semi-reflective mylar on the tip. I'm using a white K2 with the two "most purple" filters from the TCSS 11-disk set, powered with 3aaa 1000mA Ni-MH batteries and a 1999 Hasbro Qui-Gon board. I wish it was brighter, but I'm happy with the color. To me eyes, it looks very close to the purple of Mace's saber in the movies.

Compared with an unmodified Hasbro FX Obi-Wan and my color-changing saber (using aLedEngin RGGB, here with red and green turned on).
EDIT: Doh. After recharging it, the saber is actually somewhat brighter than I first thought. :oops:

Here is my latest. It is a white K2 with a purple Lee filter.
