You can run the LED off of a MR sound board. That is just like a conversion. you don't "need" a driver.
As for if the store has one, why don't you poke around in the LED specific section?

Hey x-wingband; So are you saying if I bought a sound board like the rotj lukes just to say;and I bought a battery pack and a speaker and a lexeon blade holder with my blade and a switch ;that's all I need to get that bad boy working? Also what kind of battery pack would you suggest? I'm also wanting to put in an orange lexeon light.thanks for your help!!DaJoQuim
you can buy the luck sound board here along with the pommel if you want that. browse around here for the rest of the stuff. and here is where batt packs are
have fun

Yup, that'd be it, if you want to go the simplest rout for sound. There's a wiring diagram in the wiring forum.Originally Posted by DaJoQuim
For batteries... stick to as close as you can to the normal MR voltage. If you mean for orange a Red-Orange or Amber you could even go higher to 6V. So that'd be 6V from 4AA (normal alkalines) or 5AA rechargable. That maglite has plenty of room you could add more packs if you want better run times.

you get a heatsink with the blade holder.

Oh thank you very much for the info. I'm really excited about this project!!DaJoQuim
Well I've bought over half of my parts from this store today;which;I'm chosing an amber lexeon.Next week I'm ordering the rest of my parts from this store;so;as they say here I go my friends haha.I'll post pics of my finished saber when I get it done!!BTW I'm useing a rotj soundboard from this store.
sounds great my friend. I'm glad to see your project moving along steadily.
I was going to move ahead on my vintage 1950 heiland, but since I just dropped $400 on the sabers that Master Tiin was getting rid of (JSS Hero Luke ROTJ and JSS Anakin AOTC w/ LEDs in hilt), I have to put it on hold just a little bit. The "Emperor" (my wife) says I'm exceeding my budget. LOL...
I'm really anxious to see that saber at Star Wars Weekends this year. Not sure which of mine I'll bring down.
Well Dajoquim, I look forward to seeing this bad boy. I had taken your recommendation to come here on this forum, but to be honest to see how you were received in the first couple of replies to your simple post with questions, I'm kind of hesitant to even post anything here.
Don't want to get nailed by any goose steppers for simply asking the wrong question.
Take care my friend and I'll see you at FX-sabers.com
Welcome Raijlin,
I wouldn't worry about what others say. It's nothing against DaJoQuim. We just don't feel right telling poeple where to get something outside of the store when Tim offers it.
BTW, after what you said to Hype at FX-sabers, you're a-ok in my book.
