    Nice! yeah, it would be a shame to drill into it...
    do you use an LED driver?

    did the calculations on the calculator you sent and this is what I got...

    but thats just for the blue led...theres also a white one with a different voltage...do I just add them all up?

    You can run the LEDs at 1000mA. At 350mA, your blade will be much dimmer than I assume you are hoping for.

    Your build list stated a tri cree B/B/W which, according to the spec, can be driven at 1000mA. I've recently installed a tri cree R/B/W running the blue @1000ma with a 0.47ohm resistor. If your LED star came from TCSS, I'm pretty sure it can handle it

    Nice! updated the specs with what you stated at 1000mA and it says to use a 2w 1ohms resistor

    silly question, but is that 1 resistor each LED? because the white LED has different specs...has a forward current of 1050mA
    and the blue is only 350? but has a power rating of 3W
