I'm in the process of making an LED string blade, and i'm using Plastizote foam tubing for my diffuser. I did some tests and it seems to diffuse pretty well, but I have yet to try an entire string of...

I guess that settles it then. I'll order the 70 degree LEDs. Thanks!

Holy cow! I thought Makoto was the winner of the brightest LED string contest.

Though I don't have the tools, the skills, or the time to make a supernova blade, that's some interesting data. I...

I know technically one isn't supposed to put one resistor on more than on LED, but it would be much to hard to solder resistors on every single LED, so I was planning on one resistor for the entire...

Yeah, mcd per degree, the 70 degree LEDs outshine the 120 degree. I think ill go with the 70 and see how it goes.

In my searches for the perfect green LEDs for a string blade, I have narrowed the LEDs down to two specific LEDs: 70 degree @ 15000 mcd, OR 120 degree @ 1000 mcd.

Is it better to have a large...

I plan on building an LED string saber using 80 of these leds.

I also want to power them using 4 NiMH AA batteries, bringing the supply voltage to 4.8v. The LEDs have a forward voltage of 3.5v, so...

Here are my sketches for the LED string lightsaber I have planned:

Is that heat-shrink you have on the Super V3 Plus and V4 LED strings?

They have a sale that ends today, so i'll try and get an order in today.

I've found some foam tubes at this website:

Has anyone used this type of...

Ah yes, I had thought of using a transistor, but I didnt think I could get one with the right current and would have had to go to a relay. Thanks for the info. I went ahead and connected 40 LEDs, and...

Hello, i'm building an LED string lightsaber. I built one before that had no sound, and am looking to add it in my next saber.

I have an old Hasbro Anakin/Vader Colour Change Lightsaber and I was...
