    Yes, the Luke would be red if you swapped it with a Vader strip. On the strip LEDs the color is in the LEDs theirselves.

    I appreciate that, i just wasnt sure if the colour had something to do with the electronics somewhere else.

    Rhyen is right the colour is in the LEDs on MRs but FYI there is one exception in the MR Mace Windu which doesnt use purple LEDs but a coloured filter to attempt to create the purple hue...which is one reason its more of a wimpy mauve/lavender bluish in some of them.

    I have never had or seen a Mace in person and was wondering how they made it purple. Thanks for the info.

    Well sorry if I somehow insulted you.

    Personally I see no point in it. LED Conversion is little bit more expensive, but more brighter, can withstand much more dueling, and I bet it's easier than switching the LED strip.

    Currently there is no conversion kit for the luke ANH/ESB whichever it is, but with the Luke ROTJ Conversion kit and a little bit of creativity you can do it.

    Hello Rhyen, the mace windu has a blue LED strip inside which is a little duller than the rest, the strip is put inside a red plastic tube and then put inside the blade. This gives the effect of purple, Red and Blue= Purple

    No offence taken mate, sorry for being a bit sharp, i just need the tenner from the LED strip asap
    The guy who bought it off me just wants his LEDs red instead of blue, just for show i would imagine. I have just realised something mind, the LED strip i sold doesnt have the clash sensor attached so he might need to do some modification there somewhere? Any ideas or feedback much appreciated. Matt

    I will second what rafelma said- convert the saber to the color the "guy" wants.

    Try asking him- give the perks, the little extra $$$, and the duelability factor...

    See what he says.
