Cool, I can try that.
I will poke around see if i cant figure out which resistors I will need to use. Thanks!

I did not know that, thank you. PLI would be cool, but I assume it requires a more intimate technical knowledge than I posses.

If I just treat them like standard accent LEDs (if the saber is, on...

Title sums it up. I built 3 stunt sabers (no sound or swanky electronic-wizardry) with help from all you lovely people here and I am back for more!
I watched madcows video on YouTube...

Good news! Got my parts and put it together and now it works! Thank you guys so much for your help.

I just ordered a buck puck, to see if that might help simplify things for me. I will try and upload pictures of the wiring once I receive it and hook it up.

I really appreciate all the kind...

sooo i just took it apart, desoldered everything, and then put it back and it still is constantly lit up. Can anyone narrow down where the problem could be? I would assume it be the switch but, like...

hey sorry to bug you but i have a follow up question. It worked great for a couple days but then I turned it on and it stayed on. Switch and main LED even though the switch was in the off position. I...

That was exactly what I needed! I just finished the wiring and it works like a charm! Thank you for that diagram and your patience!

Pictures for those interested

So if I use a resistor (minimum of 700VA) instead of a buckpack, the Negative wire would go switch-resistor-negative terminal on the main LED and the postive wire would go directly from the battery...

it certainly is. I will change that out thank you!

Hello!

So I completed my first saber last Thursday with parts from TCSS and their incredibly helpful YouTube video on assembly. It was the most basic saber, 4AAA batteries, standard latching...
