is it just my imagination or did my reply to this thread vanish along with a couple of others
sorry if pointing out a mistake upset someone, but this mistake was leading the thread in the wrong...

its worse than that as the AAA batteries will be connected in series to give the 6 volt so only 1150ma total
have made lightsabers using 3 AAA batteries but these have been pvc hilt sabers for kids...

I am posting this from England so not sure this is the same in the US
over here we have two pvc waste pipe diameters 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" (these are approximations as we use the metric system ) to...

try connecting one lead to the bottom led (hilt end) + and the other to the top led (tip end) - this may help

if only
I wish I could get 6800 amps in a lightsaber ............it would be bright (surface of the sun bright)
and I think with that much power I could make a real one ...........melting plasma...

I check plecter labs web site most days had started to give up as most things are always sold out
don't think I have checked it in a...

don't think I have used one of these rebel leds but have always found that about 3.7v or 3.8v was needed to get up to 1000mA on all others I have tried ..........would try some of these if the...

yes about 4.1v for the battery(source voltage) you can use less 3.7v to 4 v but the led will run over its rated voltage until the battery voltage drops
if you have the luxeon rebel star in green in...

in most descriptions for leds you get a minimum voltage, maximum voltage and sometimes a typical voltage

example ..... for a green led you could have 3.2v min 3.8 v max 3.6 v typical
3.2...

0ne inch is 25.4 mm
blades from custom saber messure in at 25.4 mm or 1 inch bare polycarb tube I have brought from italy and spain are slightly smaller at 25mm
there is some times a small lip...

wet sea salt crystals placed on bare alloy leave for a few days in a damp room or damp down now and again with a water spray bottle
should leave small pits in the alloy . if you do this before...

try to use higher capacity resisters then needed use a 5w were a 3w is required the resistor may be larger but it will run cooler and any heat will be spread over the larger surface area
if the...

silly question but is this switch one you got from custom saber or from ebay/amazononline because a lot of ones online are 5/6v or 12v

in parallel the voltage stays the same as a single led but the current(amps) get added together

example in series ...... 2x red led 2.1v /700ma =...4.2v 700ma (0.7amps)

example in...

just got 4 bladebuilders to strip for the sound boards the light sabers turn on ok but you get the clash sound when you swing it and led flashes (foc) and the motion swing sound when you hit it...

my last string blade had 105 green leds (same voltage as blue) was to be 110 but when I tested my links of 20 found a blue one in the link and by the time I had removed it I was down to 105 (sealed...

sorry not trying to hijack this post but got 4 blade builder lightsabers to use the sound boards . they all behave strange .... on them you get random clash sounds and light sometimes even when...

not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but here goes
I recently got hold of 3 Hasbro blade builder toy sabers from ebay (surprisingly cheap) to strip for the sound boards ...

if its ok on this forum give us your address and I will post you one I got a couple extra ( I always seem to get more than I need for my projects)
you will need to change the led over yourself to...

cant help you with the 3d printed plastic strength ( am getting a 3d printer via a weekly magazine comes in 90 parts I think am up to about part 55 I think starting to regret doing it this way cant...

years ago made something like this (actually nothing like this it was a light up base for fibre optic flower display but it was a similar problem/shape)
how about if the bottom of the part is flat...

Unless you are using red/yellow/orange leds your going to need around 3.4 to 3.6v (and that's not accounting for any voltage drop from the resistance of 130 leds
also 130 leds run at a average of...

if AA is the size you need then yes
the ebay listing is fairly clear but the dummy batteries/cells themselves are not so clear can not understand the need for the fancy labels on what is just a...
