Can you wire a Tri LED to a MR Vader Saber??

[Thousandlegends]

Hello all....
I have an old Master Replicas ANH Vader FX Saber that broke, is it possible to wire a luxeon or Cree tri led to that saber's board? Would it have enough power to run three LEDs?

I am thinking of putting a red/red orange/white or a royal blue/red/white tri LED or something like that... I want either a red-orange color or maybe a purple, don't something interesting like that.

I would also be using a lithium 3.7v batter pack with that which I already have.

Anyways let me know what guys think... If this would even be possible or not to do

Found an answer....
I believe I can as long as it's in parallel. What I'm not sure about is whether or not the Vader can take the 3.7v input source or not... Truthfully I don't know much about these boards?

You could always run a Buck Puck on it just to be safe.

not quite. A buck puck need at least 5V to run properly.

Yea I figured the buck wouldn't work...
I run a 3.7v lithium in my mace conversion saber without a problem and am running a soule p4 in it.
I wasn't sure about the voltage of the Vader but suppose I could look at the battery pack to be sure

I am going to rebuild the hilt of the Vader since it's all messed up and hope to run a tri Cree in it.

I want to order the led from this week hopefull from TCCS but wanna make sure it runs or wasted money, we'll never wasted as I will use it but still.

Here is a pic of the battery box open as much as I can without destroying it.
It looks as though it may be a 4.5v source... You can see the orange wire connecting the (+) and (-) of battery 1 and 2 and then you have the yellow wire connecting to the (+) of battery 3 going down to what looks like the contact of battery 2 on the (-) Red wire which is coming off the (+) battery source and the black wire coming off what seems like the (-) source and then brown wire which is either the ground or it has to do with the speaker in the rear of the box, which is what I would assume.

It just depends on whether they wired the speaker directly to battery source or not, but there are three contacts on the battery box so I would assume one has to do with the speaker and the other two are battery... So my assumption is that the brown wire goes to the speaker (-) and the yellow is also connected to the battery and speaker positive or something like that.

let me know what you guys think and I can post more pics if needed.

I may just take it apart further as I don't think I will need the battery box anymore so if I don't then I will just break it apart like I did with the mace box

alright so it looks to be a 4.5v source it is as I said the orange wire is connecting the (+) and (-) of battery 1 and 2 and there is an orange wire connecting 2 and and 3 also and the (+) and (-) the black wire connects to the (-) of 2 and the rtes wire to the (+) of 3 the yellow and brown wire are the speaker, brown (-) and the yellow (-) being wired into the (+) of the battery. That about covers it so there you go, it appears to be 3 batteries wired in series.

IT sounds to me like it's the same setup that they have basically used in the past, so it's really only going to power 1 die fully.
