Hi all,
Much like the title implies I'm looking to build a MHS saber that is a torch instead of a saber w/ blade or prop
I work full time in security and for night shift I need a torch so why not have the coolest torch around.

I am having trouble finding info on actually building one.

How bright are the LEDs, could I Just use the ones on this site, will I need multiple, do I need to go elsewhere.

lens installation, securing the reflective cone around the led and things to focus if necessary

battery life. How long can you get from a single charge. This one isn't an issue as I can buy multiple batteries and a charging station.

Could anyone supply info on the above.

I've almost finished designing my saber and would like to start on the electronics asap.

I hope to document the process for like minded individuals.

Thanks for any input. Feel free to post ideas that may help or that I should add.

Regards,
Bambussa
