    Or you can learn Ohm's Law and do the calculations yourself.
    Great thanks for that I will! Do I need any extra wires?

    It's always cheaper to do it right, than to do it over, and if you do it wrong, you WILL want to do it over.

    Having some extra doesn't hurt.
    The above statements GREATLY depends on what battery solution as well as what sound card you plan on using to run your saber. Limitations will probably apply. Your mileage may vary. Any visual impairments are the sole responsibility of the saber builder/user. - Forgetful Jedi Knight

    In my experience, you can NEVER have too much wire in your shop. In various colors, gauges, and flavors.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    Is this right? http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz?VS=3.7;VF=2.4;ID=700

    So I found the right Li Ion pack in JQ sabers. But what will I do about the charger? I have a EU Plug (UK and USA dont fit), can you plugg the charger in a converter? Or should I look for a charger somewhere else?

    Voltage is:
    Sweden is 230 V 50 HZ Europe
    United Kingdom 240 V 50 HZ UK

    Resistor is correct.

    It looks like this: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/37...plug-P890.aspx will work if you get a US-to-Sweden plug adapter. It handles 100v-240v according to the description.

    So here is my wiring: image.jpg
    There was no 2.2ohm 2w resistent will 2.2ohm 5w work?

    I see sweet i think am ready to order now yay

    Thanks silver

    Yes, the 5W version will work fine. Wattage is a minimum, so you can always go higher but not lower. Higher wattage resistors take up more room in your hilt, so don't go crazy with 10W versions unless you have no choice.
