Obi-Wan must be blue or cyan!

Just kidding. Use any color you want. The board will drive any Luxeon III pretty well. Red or Red/Orange will work great!

The blue should "look" brighter than royal blue because royal blue is closer to ultraviolet in the color spectrum. However, royal blue still looks great and is a more saturated looking blue. I like...

Xwing will be making more soon. I signed up for one and hopefully more in the future.

Hey Novastar,

You need to get a few LedEngins (green, blue). They're about $10 and similar specs to a P4 or Lux III. I think I got mine from Mouser Electronics.

For the multi Rebels, see this: http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=15083.0

Xwing makes his own and can get 3 to fit "under one roof".

What you're doing is basically blending 2 leds...

I though you'd all like to know my opinion of my very first LuxV.

I must qualify that I'm used to Lux (single) Rebels (royal blue and green) and LedEngin 5Ws (blue and green). Plus some Lux IIIs....

Exactly the same setup as the nylon. LED strip in MR foam tube with cellophane wrap inside the (nylon or UltraEdge) tube. Seems like the nylon diffuses a little better for me but I don't doubt yours...

I think the nylon works better than the UltraEdge. The UltraEdge was less even / showed more spots. The nylon tube is very even. They are both just as bright. I used the same Makoto LED strip and...

"mA" is current but "mAh" is a measurement of capacity. It gives you an idea of how long it will last. AA and AAA batteries have the same voltage but the AA lasts longer than the AAA because it...

I'd say the Rebel is very bright. The royal blue is not as "bright" as the normal blue but is such a nice hue of blue. With Corbin film and gift wrap it is very bright and even. I don't know how it...

Yeah, you could do 2 led ladder strips and stagger them. It would be brighter but at what power consumption? You'd need 4000mA of current and a huge battery or something ridiculous like that. Might...

Hi Eandori,

I know Makototsai uses both the RGB leds (multicolor) and the single color leds. I have one of his single color led strips in blue.

So, maybe his single color led strips would be...

You gotta use foam. Foam from an MR blade works pretty good.

Maybe there is somewhere you can get white polycarbonate tubing for the outer blade instead of nylon?:D

To answer Matt's question, the button that Tim/TCSS sells is the functioning red button. Not just cosmetic. It's just like the original Graflex button.

I bought one. You just need to extend it so...

This is a functioning red button switch for an original (or replica)Graflex flashgun. It's not just a cosmetic knob or something.

Very nice!

Although, I personally think the MR Anakin makes a good conversion to ESB because of the control box location and the "textured mylar tape" look (as opposed to the smooth tape look).

Sorry I forgot to take pics the last time I opened it up. I will next time though.

The guts are on page one. You just need to cut the chassis the exact length as the blade holder so it will fit perfectly (I used TCSS Maul MR conversion blade holder). You could even use a little...

Yes, I cut them off with a sharp knife. It will fit inside a prescription bottle now.

It looks like this now:

I will glue the...

I removed the leads and am planning to attach them in the lower space (maybe glue them). I don't recommend using the copper wires directly since you never want to pull on them too hard. You'll never...

I actually used strong double sided tape to attach the speaker to the battery pack. Of course I had to break the original battery pack to do this. You don't have to alter that battery pack if you...

Yeah, why not. Something to keep you busy...

I think I'll take mine apart and change it to a Lux III Cyan bin 1 that I have. Some of these FX boards are pretty kick butt when it comes to current...

I don't like the "new" improved things they did to the Obi and Anakin in Episode III. Aren't these supposed to be the sabers in ANH (Yeah, I'm old I guess). Anyway, just like I did to my Anakin, I...

Hey, I just used a TCSS Maul conversion blade holder and cut the black plastic chassis the appropriate length. Taped them together with masking tape. Works great.

I put my Makoto led strip /...
