Anakin Conversion Kit Questions

[Lord Maul]

wow, it doesn't look like you hooked it up right, i can't see all of the wires in your pics, i just see a bunch of wire stubs which isn't good.

That'll work, but it will be instant on.

don't know what i'm doing here just going with what I have.
My two Anakins were REAL EARLY Ultra Conversions way back when he first started doing these over a year ago. That's the way the wires were, this one was attached to a blue 1watt star luxeon. the other Anakin I had converted was to a red luxeon, I have switched that to a green 3 watt luxeon, but I don't remember what the wires on it looked like. I'm selling that one for parts since I cracked the stock holder and don't plan on having two Anakins. I don't really like the Anakin hilt.

i forgot to paint. i was trying to hurry up and get this done and send my 3 yr old to bed.


This one has a 3 watt white luxeon, an optics holder, 10 degree lens thing.

[Lord Maul]

you should paint that thing. i did with mine and it looks slick

hey maul what kind of paint did u use?

[Strydur]

The reason to use all of the negatives is not really to keep some sort of ramp up effect (which I have never noticed) but so you get full amperage to the LED. Its like trying to fill a pool with 6 hoses instead of just one.

I notice the effect and wouldn't go back to instant on. It's not Corbin's but it's better than nothing.

SilentBob, I don't know what he used but epoxy paint has worked for me. It's usually called "appliance paint".

cool, so when i take it apart again to paint, i will connect all the cut wires back to the negative, right?

only the blue and gray go to positive?
