If you don't mind me asking, I was looking again at your tutorial for PVC sabers for children. You run a Rebel star at 350ma off 2 AAA with a resistor. TCSS says amber lux rebels should be run at 700ma. Like I said, I'm brand new at working with LEDs, and I'm wondering if running them at half capacity shortens the life of the LED or has any other adverse effects, other than a dimmer blade. Your picture at the end looks pretty bright.
I'm probably going to be making a PVC saber soon for my son, and I'm wondering if I should go the same route with his when I do.
Thanks again.
