Congrats on getting this done. I see you stumbled upon a lesson I try (sometimes unsuccessfully) to teach all who start out.. start out "small" and work your way up. As you found out, it's easy to draw it all out on paper, but not so east to cram it all into a hilt, and the more you cram in, the more that can go wrong.

Besides, these days, a simple Tri-Rebels or Tri-Crees give off plenty of brightness for the power consumed, while not blinding you and burning your hand too much. You'll find that most experienced sabersmiths and builders have basically stopped using LEDEngins for that very reason.

Wow, I don't know how I missed this. Great build!
