Side emiting does what it says: puts the light out the sides. Totaly useless for sending light down a tube, i.e. lighting the blade.

Doing some browsing on ultrasabers site, are the lux modular units te "quick change" system people are talking about?
This is the TCSS quick-change unit:

Simple MHS heatsink with a quick-disconnect soldered to the led.
is the quick change set up out of stock in the shop?
i can't find it.

And this: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Co...sink-P234.aspx
And you're set. Tim doesn't offer the quick change kit as a packaged deal anymore, you have to get the parts individually.
is the heat sink that cones with the blade holder useable with the quick change? or do i need to get the "upgrade"?
You don't need the upgraded heatsink, but the copper one works far better than the aluminum heatsink.
And if you order a blade holder, you'll get a heatsink, then all you have to do is order the quick-disconnect, or a couple, and you'll be all set if you decide later to change the led to a different color.
