jedi needs help!!

[zenstep]

Im fairly new to this scene and would really appreciate a second opinion..

Im building a stunt saber only (no sound).
My goal is maximum brightness using x1 7.4v Li-ion 2600mAh 18650 Battery Pack..

I need help selecting an LED (probably from LEDsupply.com) not sure if i should/can use a quad star or tri?

I need an LED that can fit in the standard lens holder (I'm assuming)..

Ive been informed that a lot of current is wasted using a buck puck? so my preferable alternative is to go with a 5W resistor for both added current and longer battery life.

ive already selected a switch.

would really appreciate a personal response or even live chat from someone experienced.

Your best bet is a tri star with appropriate lens. Both are available here at TCSS. On top of that, unless you plan on opting for a soundcard later on that can make use of a 7.4v lithium pack, you'll be fine with a 3.7v 18650. It'll have enough current for your tri LED.
