OK, good info! The Pololu LV is definitely a possibility I can investigate, thanks!

But back to my first question, does anyone have any idea what the new style 3 box will be like?

Yeah, I thought of that, but I'm using the Force FX sound cards, which need latching switches. Does someone know of a pressdown latching switch that will work like this?

Anyone heard what the new version of Activation Box Style 3 is going to be like?

I appreciate that the products here are always under scrutiny and often being updated. However, I've gotten fond of...

Just to report back my results for archival reasons; I tried Rhyen's idea of the seperate GG and GG series. That worked wonderfully off of 14.8V and is very bright now! I ended up needing two 1000mA...

The standard TCSS Lux 10° optics on both setups.



Hrmmm... the specs also say that they should be run on 700-1000mA, so that's a big departure! If you're right about the specs being off, that...

I suppose I could go simple resistor here, if the BuckPuck is part of the problem. It's not REALLY required... while nice to have, I'd much rather have this famous brightness. :)

Huh. So GG and GG? Will I need a BuckPuck for each parallel circuit, or split it after the puck? From my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong), spliting it after puck will half the amperage.

OK all you LED experts, I think I'm doing something wrong here, so I hope someone can straighten me out. :confused:

I recently purchased an LedEngin 10W GGGG. So I wired it up in one hilt (all 4...

I have one of these floating around from a while ago that I am now going to wire up, but it appears the product (and thus the wiring pictures) were removed from the store. Does anyone have that image...

Ah, thanks! It's made by me and customized to my shape cuz at the time I didn't know anyone who made and sold it online... now, who knows? I used white Sintra PVC, which comes in big sheets. I cut...

I'm sure that Ultrasabers will give the bigger orders preference, so that means us poor saps with only 1 or 2 boards sent in for upgrades are at the bottom of the list. :(

So does this mean people are starting to get the US 2.1 boards back from Ultrasabers? Or are folks getting them from Tim? I ask because I've not heard any news about the board I send in to Ultra to...

Already booked my flight and hotel. :D Probably in Clone Wars Obi-Wan?

I hooked up a Cree XR-E blue once to try it out. I compared it side-by-side to a K2 blue (this was a while ago, and I never took any pictures... sorry!). My impression was that the Cree was of...

Where does one find the proper nylon tubing? Like this PEX, is that something that can be found at a hardware store too?

I believe that's supposed to be a 1.5" sink tube. They're under "sink tubes & misc."

That's a good reference, having the guy actually holding them. The Dooku does look a little on the big side, but it's not terrible.

Like the title says, I'd like to dull the mirror finish on a chrome sink tube JUST SLIGHTLY so that it more matches MHS aluminum parts. When I use an sink tube adapter, it's really obvious the...

I'd get 'em just for those crazy pommels!

Well, can we post the answer here for the sake of completeness? This is supposed to be a reference thread afterall.

Yeah, I was wondering that too. What is the accepted solution for optics with a Tri-Rebel?

Yeah, I've been using a 616 with diodes in one of my sabers for about 6-7 months now and has been working flawlessly during that time of (moderate-heavy) use. These are great cheap sound cards!

More MHS gears? I think I blinked and they vanished...

Two sinktube lightsabers for a couple of friends' birthdays that are coming up. Blue Lux IIIs, no sound.
