    Lens Question

    I recently soldered up most of my saber, including my red P4. I tried to get the optics on, but I can't. The lens holder won't fit onto the star because of one of my solder joints. (The pad was in...

    Nice saber! It's about 3-4" too long for my taste, but I still really like it. That brass PC'd double male really gives it an elegant look. What LED are you using?

    Resistors can be wired in either the positive or negative side. I have a habit of wiring mine in the positive side, but that's just personal preference; you can put it on whichever side you want.

    Awesome saber- kinda like mine (in progress) with the 1" PVC and the 1-1/2" tube (mine's metal, though.)

    And I also made a stand out of LEGOs...but it was for a LEGO saber.

    You won't have much workable room in the new design, with about 6 inches of choke and only half as much normal space. It won't be possible unless I'm understanding the design wrong. If you changed...

    Agreed, go with the red/orange Lux III. A bin 1 P4 is the about the same shade as a red/orange, but not as bright. If you're going to order from the store here, I'd suggest getting a P4. As for the...

    For the best result, try and RGB LED and play with the resistance on the red. The easiest method would be to use a white P4 with filters, either the ones sold in the store or Lee filters. I wish you...

    Try 1-1/4" copper pipe. The OD is about 1 3/8", which is slightly larger than 1" PVC.

    Try a Luxeon 1 with a single 18650 cell with, like Skott said, a smart-charger. You'll defiantly need a resistor, as the 18650 puts out 7-8 times more mAh then what a Lux 1 can handle! Hilt wise, try...

    Are you just going to customize the hilt, or convert is to a luxeon saber?

    Oh, well I guess problem resolved. :) I'll go out and get a couple other LEDs and save the accent LEDs for another project. *HintHint*



    I think I'll try that.

    I'm using two of the "Red LED Indicators" (the kind with the bezel) sold by the shop powered by 3 NiMH batteries (3.6V) with an 82 ohm 1/4 watt resistor.

    I'll have pics up soon. :)

    Accent LED Brightness

    I've been testing my parts with a breadboard, and wanted to see how my accent LEDs would light up my milky quartz, which I've heard diffuses light good. When I put my crystal up to my LED, it hardly...

    Sink tubes are too thin to tap through, so you'll have to use a nut. To mount it, I'd suggest getting 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" adapters/polywashers. It's a snug fit, but you will either need glue or screws...

    Does the voltage of the resistor really matter since voltage equals current times resistance? Also, what would be an approximate runtime for my saber?

    Double Resistor for Red P4

    I just got my saber parts in today, (yay! :D) but I was told with my 1 ohm 2 watt resistor I might blow up my P4. Source voltage is 3.6 volts. I was wondering if I could double resistor and use a...
