great choice with the Cyan Lux. and I like the little touches like the light showing through the screws and the hidden switch. Well done! :)
I love your work on this saber Obi-Dar!
I was just wondering what you used for the ring at the top of the emitter? Is there a set screw on the backside not shown in the pictures?
Very well done and a inspiration to those following in your footsteps!
It's a ring that I had custom machined. It's a very close fit to the sleeve that it slides onto, so it just took a thin smear of JB Weld to hold it on.
Edit to add picture:

Simply amazing, my favorite saber from the films and you did a fantastic job!

Can we see more pics of the 'ring' you had made?
Is it a 2-piece system? looks like it form the pic above..and seeing the pics of the whole build from the top?
Thanks man.
The saber has gone to a new home, so I can't take any more pictures, but I think I have what you need here. There are only two parts. The sleeve and the ring.
This is the emitter sleeve.

The ring just slips on to the sleeve. No fasteners needed, just a little JB Weld.

The whole thing slid over the BH, then I screwed the greeblies in.

Hope that helps. If you have any more questions, you know where to find me.;)
hmm..
maybe you have the top of the BH polished?
in this pic it looks as if it was had a 'cap'cover along with the ring:
