Thread: Electronics check before I buy (my first saber)

    Default Electronics check before I buy (my first saber)

    Hi all,

    I just wanted to check with you all before I purchase my battery and resistor. I alredy have a chain of 100 3.4V 20mAh BLUE LEDs built and ready to be powered.

    http://www.amazon.com/Amico-Wound-Ce...2+ohm+resistor

    2 Ohm 10 Watt resistor

    18650 3.7V battery

    18650 Power bank.

    The reason I have a resistor like that is because as many of you know, 18650s charge to about 4.2V max then they are fully charged. Please leave any tips, comments, and anything else, it is all greatly appreciated.

    Thank You!

    I hope that you wired a number of smaller Series of LEDs in parrallel, rather than one big chain, otherwise you may find the LEDs at the tip dimmer than those at the base.

    Or at least thats what I hear
