Jtsteph white LED

I hope this thread answers some questions you might have about my white blades.
*I use a HP 5.1 MP R707 camera.
*My vader runs on 4AAA batteries with a 2.2ohm 5w resistor. White Led Lux 3w. No fancy driver board or sound. While Ani runs on 3AAA, 2.2ohm 5w resistor and the same White Led Lux 3w.
*Standard MR Blades
This is the color film I use. I think it cost under $3.00.

Cut the white paper off and unfold it. Then tuck it in the blade like so.

Here are the optics I used on my Ani and Vader sabers.

A look inside the Vader.

Blue Vader? (in normal room light)

Thanks,

That is ingenius! Is that a hole you actually cut in the tabs? I have a bunch of those just sitting around at home...

This seems to give great results.

Yeah, the hole allows more light in the blade.

Hmm... that's odd I believe it was tetmatek that said any sized hole on the discs here cause the white to just overwhelm the color. I wonder why this is different.[?]

Dang I use those for my flashlights too. Now I'm even more stoked about getting my led kit.

I have no clue. Maybe the optics?

Where do you get those optics?

Less talk, more action........
