Thread: Tri Rebel Purple Blade Wiring Check

    Default Tri Rebel Purple Blade Wiring Check

    HI,

    So im looking into making a purple blade for my daughters lightsaber and this will be my first attempt. Ill be using a NBV2 @3.7v. Color seperation isnt a concern.
    Can i have the wiring confirmed before starting? Also, does it matter which positive pad I use for the wire going to the board? My diagram has the wire coming of the positive red pad.

    The LEDs will need to be wired in parallel, and resistored accordingly. both the blue and red (+) should be going to the board.

    So I revised my dia and if I'm understanding correctly the wiring should be like what i have pictured, hopefully.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Eliminate the yellow line, and the (-) on top should go straight to the board.

    Are the negatives fine in parallel?

    Yes, they would be fine in parallel.

    For what it's worth, you might find that you get a better shade / a more "purple" purple if you got your hands on a Royal Blue/Red/Green Tri-rebel or Tri-Cree LED.

    The royal blue LED has less green in it than a straight-up blue LED. The lack of green and/or absence of green brings out the more vibrant purple tones.

    Thanks for the input! I'm actually going with a RbGW
