so if i get the red led 3000 mcd will i need the 1/8 watt 150 ohm or the 1/4 65 ohm?
I will stop by radioshack on my way back from wrestling practice ( skipped school today shhhhh) ha, but is that all i need to pick up is 1/4 watt 65 ohm resistors... to go along with my 5mm 1.8volt...

what exactly is the negative side? and will butt connectors work instead of sodering the wires?
Ok it is a small red led that can take up to 12 volts and a resistor is included... there is a red and black cord coming from the small led... and pictures below stating the ones in my hilt , so do i...
yea sorry i had an error my pics were too big... will size down tonight
Hello I have an ultrasaber vagabond lightsaber that i have customized and i was wondering if i could wire another small led light inside the saber... if so size is not a problem i just need to know...
i have single wrap tcss film already if i order another single wrap will that be equivilant to double wrap or is double wrap diffrent some way?
shoul that make my blade even out, do i need more blade film and clearphane too or what?
ok i cut the tube down to 36" and it shines a little better now, but it still the bottom is way bright and the top is bright and then the middlish top is just way too dim... and am i supposed to be...
well on the tip of the blade i had aluminum duck tape... is that bad? and for the cellophane i unrolled just as long as the saber was... idk what pple mean by 3 or 4 feet... width on the cellophane...
I just made a 3/4 40" thin walled saber and the bottom is good and very tip of the blade are good but the middle sucks... can anybody help me make the middle brighter? i have 1 layer of tcss blade...
a shroud? how would i get something in there to cover the dispersed light up without covering the led itself?
If i made a new hilt and i made that hole or whatever... what would happen if i cut the hole too large and had the hole above the led? would the power of the led go off of the blade and just spread...
