Ok, well I already have the 7.4v battery and the store doesn't have any 3.7v in stock so I'll just have to run the three in parallel with either a single or multiple buck pucks then, is that about...
Ok well I planned to test a series of resistors on the red LED to find the color that I want. So if I have the two blues in series and the red in parallel wouldn't all 3 get 700mA without a buck puck?
I originally had the buckpuck in there to bring the current down to 1A but several of you agreed for me to remove the buckpuck completely.
I can put the buckpuck back in easily enough, If I have...
I just calculated the needed resistors and I want to make sure that I have it right.
So I'm going to have the two royal blue in series and they require a 0.5ohm 3w resistor, which I planned to have...
Ok well I am planning to get a 7.4v battery pack anyway so I'll probably just leave the two royal blue in series and have them parallel to the red so I can adjust my color as need be.
Ok so I've added the resistor to the LED switch and removed the buck puck. and Greenie is right that I want to be able to switch out both the LED switch and blade LED without having to rewire...

Above is my wiring diagram for my new saber. I've done a couple saber hookups before but I wanted to make sure that I had things right before getting started. My primary wish is for the LED...
Can I use a version 2 heat sink with a version one choke/blade holder?
hey everybody here's a list of what i got, please let me know anything i need to add/ don't really need
1. LED "TCSS style" Battle blade 1" OD (36 inches)
2. 10-32 x 1/4 set screw
6. Dual 22...
yes its true that some of them are odd prices, but they are because these are HAND made, tim pours his being into these pieces for us, he is willing to talk to you, to give advice and point you to...
Thanks for the props lol, my next staff saber is gonna take a long while (and money lol) to make lol, but will include custom shroud pieces, and a crystal chamber lol so look forward to it
Ok that makes sense, I was wondering about that. And I didn't put any resistor on the line going to the Crystal Chamber LED cause I havent figured out what LED to use yet, all the ones in the store...
Ok this is for a new lightsaber I am designing that has 2 switches and a crystal chamber with LED.
The two switches are the Green Ring LED and Nickel Plated. I believe I have this wired up so that...
Hi I am looking for an effective simplistic looking crystal chamber design, using a small LED and a quartz crystal. I have seen several such as...
This piece is totally awesome!!!!! i just emailed Tim about something like this not 15 minutes before looking here. This piece is perfect for my staff!!!!!!!! MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok i've tried it all, i had everything wired up and ready to go, i dry tested it and nothing. Im getting no power at all, nothing into the switch or the led
I've looked and found the negative and positive ends. But there are two sets of prongs. A gold square set both positive and negative, and two straight silver prongs. Which is for the led ring and...
Ok ive looked it over and im unsure firstly which of the prongs is the led ring, and the actual switch. Secondly how to tell which is positive or negative.
I simply used the resistor chart on the website

I put in the 6v battery pack that i purchased, then the kind of led i had and it told me...
Ok so the electronics for my lightsaber are a simple 4 AA battery holder a seoul p4 green led a 150 ohm 1/4w resistor 1 16mm anti vandal latching green ring switch and i 3.3 0hm 5w resistor
1. I...
What kind of resistor, I read up on the Seoul P4 but i cant figure out which one to use
Ok so heres all that i have in my basket
4AA Battery Holder
Convertec Clip
LED "Crobin style" Battle Blade 1" OD (34 inches)
Collimator Lens 8.7 deg viewing angle
Seoul P4 (Green)
