I would like to add an LED inside the hilt on an upcoming build. I'm looking at lighting a crystal chamber. My plan is to use a NBv4 with tri cree LED's for the blade. I understand I can also use one additional LED off of the board. My question is what LED should I be looking for? Is there a specific voltage range I need? What should I be looking for?
Thanks in advance.
Look in the TCSS Hilt Electronics..Accent LED's. They have LED lit crystals and accents that will work for you. If you are going to wire a RGB LED you will need to use the power Xtender....Attachment 17369Quote:

Use the resistor calculator link on this site, you will need the forward voltage of your LED and what current you want to drive it in milliamps, the calculator will tell you what size resistor and wattage you will need.
Thank you! exactly the information I needed.Quote:
