if you want sound later on you can wait till tim gets more lukes in or you can buy a broken mr from ebay. the luke module lends itself best to the conversions, and can be used with a 3w or k2 as both the lux driver and sound. using an mr module with a 5w is a little more tricky, but still easily doable.
there is also the option of a buckpuck driver or corbins board for lux drivers. sound there are hasbro boards plus erv's and ultra's upcoming driver. erv's board is the best available and will work with any lux and provides programable sound, but some ppl cant afford the 150.00 price tag.
i guess i should ask mostly what color you want your blade, and then i can point you in the direction you wish to go on this project and help you design your wiring layout.
