Help with MR Anakin version. Put Led

[gertakari]

Hi,

I have seen "05 MR Anakin Conversion tutorial" and I have a few questions. [ http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com...its-available ]

Original Parts List

MR Anakin Lightsaber
Conversion Kit http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/MR...-kit-P248.aspx
Lens http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Lu...-angle-P4.aspx
Lens Holder http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Lu...older--P7.aspx
Luxeon III LED or P4 LED
Thermal Tape http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/St...-pad-P483.aspx


I want a blue or royal blue blade, but P4 LED is only green or white and Luxeon III LED is not avaliable for sell. Can I used LUXEON REBEL in his stead?

Then I need to buy:

Conversion Kit http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/MR...-kit-P248.aspx
Lens 8.7 deg http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Co...ngle-P537.aspx
Lens Holder http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Lu...lder-P536.aspx
Luxeon Rebel LED http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Lu...Star-P523.aspx
Termal Tape http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/St...-pad-P483.aspx

The next question is about the blade. I need buy a new polycarbonate transparent tube. What material should be used to diffuse the light?

Cheers!

Hi,

Gift wrap paper is the best option for me, and the easier one. just roll a few sheets inside
[spanish] El papel de celofan o de regalo transparente es la mejor y m?s f?cil opci?n para mi, enrolla un par de pliegos y m?telos dentro.[/spanish]

Thanks Arsies for your response,

Do you know any place in Spain where I can buy the polycarbonate transparent tube?

Then, Is this pack correct? I have a doubt with the compatibility between Conversion Kit and Lens 8.7 deg. The original tutorial recommends "Collimator Lens 5 deg viewing angle" but the store website recommends "Collimator Lens 8.7 deg viewing angle" for Luxeon Rebel LED.

[spanish]lo puedes comprar en Industria de la goma o lumetalplastic, la segunda es m?s barata pero tiene pedido m?nimo[/spanish]

You can buy it in "Industria de la goma" or "lumetalplastic", second one is cheaper but has minimum order

[Spanish mode ON]
S?, con eso tienes todo lo que necesitas. No te preocupes por lo que dice el tutorial sobre la lente, porque los leds han evolucionado mucho desde que se hizo, y los rebel van muy bien con la lente de 8.7.
[Spanish mode OFF]

Yes, that?s all you need. Don?t worry with the tutorial saying you need a 5 degree lens, leds have evolved a lot since it was written, and the rebel leds run pretty well on a 8.7 lens.

Thank you again,

My last question is about Led driver. Can I put Led driver (1000ma max) between LED and MR conexion? Has the MR circuit internal driver? Because If I connect the LED such as the tutorial => direct drive => low light, I think.

I have in my house drivers 1A of LED flashlights

LED ------- DRIVER 1A--------- MR Lightsaber Conexion // VS // LED----------------------MR Lightsaber Conexion

[spanish] ?Es necesario poner un driver adicional para alimentar el LED o el circuito del propio sable ya tiene uno?. Si hago las mismas conexiones que en el tutorial, se conecta el led directamente a los cables que iban al sable y, por mi experiencia con linternas LED, si haces una conexion directa (direct drive) la luminosidad del led es mucho menor que con un buen driver.

Las placas MRFX dan alrededor de 1000ma cuando se usan de la forma que dice en el tutorial, as? que el led de dar bastante luz...
[Spanish mode OFF]

MRFX boards should give around 1000ma when used as shown in the tutorial, so it should be plenty bright...

[gertakari]

Ok.

Thank you for all
