Hey all, Im getting started on my first saber (), and Im fairly confident about the assembly and such, however I found that selecting correct pieces of electronics to order was quite confusing. I think I have it figured out, but I would really appreciate it if one of you smart people could look over my pieces list and make sure they are compatible and wont, say, spontaneously combust my LED the minute I turn it on

The LED: a single Cree LED on on one of those fancy boards: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Gr...ova-P1000.aspx

The lens: If I managed to get this one wrong ill mail myself to Antarctica.http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Co...ngle-P537.aspx Also the holder: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Cr...lder-P999.aspx

The battery holder: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/4A...ctor-P724.aspx (Im a bit unclear about how to attach the wires to this, should they be soldered?)

The switch: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/SP...tton-P255.aspx

The BuckPuck: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Bu...wire-P363.aspx Im hoping this is the correct MA.

Finally, the wire: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/24...pool-P737.aspx Like I said, im not sure how to attach it to a JST connector, Ive never done it before.



General questions: Is there a decent substitute for soldering, or should I just buy a cheap, $10 soldering iron?

If I do buy a soldering iron, what type of solder is preferred for lightsabers?

Does anyone have a picture of a tri LED compared to a single LED in brightness?

Thanks!
