Diggity damn thats nice.

This on ervs board. soemone put one togeather now, mesa wanna see video!

can erv's board handle 3 leds? or do you run it differently like with the MR's?

[xwingband]

Nope his board can't. It can only take 9V. That's too low for those LEDs in series.

Corbin's can't handle it either (at least properly)... you'd have to go to a non-saber driver like these: http://www.dotlight.de/shop/index.ph...1f50e44c5e89ee

so your basically going to have to rerout some power if you use an mr board?

[xwingband]

Yup, like Tim did. He tapped it at the half way point to give the MR a good voltage.

[vortextwist]

cool, I was wandering would that led mount fit into any of the conversioin kits? Maybe using 3 1 watt leds. Not really to get brighter but maybe a different color. say maybe using 2 blues and a red? Not sure how that would work but it's an idea.

Nice.

The blade looks very bright even in the lit (and sunlit) room.

Ohhhhhh.....................yeeeeaaahhhhh!!!

Frakin' awesome!!!

Think these will be available in time for us to build hilts for C4????

Well done Tim.
I suspect these things should do well. I'm glad to hear that the outer diameter of the Tri-Lux is a perfect fit for the MHS. I think that should make installing them much easier.
Now I have to decide what type of saber I want to install MINE in. It's been sitting here for a while now. 3 reds. I may try another combo down the road like a couple green cyans and a white, but we'll see.

Wow, that's bright! How do focus the light from the three led's with this set-up? Or did you just not bother with a focusing lens?
