This will be my first saber so please excuse any ignorance on my part. I have a few parts coming in the mail and many more to purchase yet so if this doesn't work, no big deal, I'll just go back to my original plan. I am looking to wire a saber that has a 4AA pack (6V) powering a GGW CopperNova and a momentary switch with the green LED ring. I will also be incorporating a momentary-to-latching converter in this saber.

The first image I took from this forum long ago and seemed to me to be my best bet to build the saber that I wanted, the only issue is that it uses a single LED setup which comes from CSS's completed heatsink module product. While I'm perfectly okay using that product, I would like to see my blade with a bit of a stronger green. From what I've read, using a GGW will give me the result I'm looking for.
The second image that I made in autodesk, then exported to adobe PDF, then shamelessly screenshotted is my new idea that I'd like to implement. It is completely identical to the original plan except for the extra LEDs. I'm afraid I am stuck on how to wire the two greens and the white to the buckpuck. I'm not even certain that I am able to do so, even if I use the 6-wire version. Additionally, would I even have enough power from the 4AA pack to run this setup?
What it all boils down to is the blade LED. I need to get those wires to the momentary-to-latching converter somehow so that I can use the switch I want. I would prefer to use a buckpuck if possible as that is much simpler for me, if not, I'll need a bit of info on how else to tackle this. If there is any way to accomplish this, I would greatly appreciate the insight.
