    You could possibly replace one but I have never heard of anyone doing it.

    YES they can be changed by desoldering the connections and resoldering new LED. i am eventually replace one of mine with the larger leds.

    You could always check ebay also. I've seen MR blades on there recently.

    ou can resolder them, but it might be easier jsut to get another blade and not duel with it, keep the broken one to wack ppl with

    So do the leds actually get burned out like a light bulb? I thought it took thousands of hours to do that. Or do the connections just get broken? If the connections get broken do you just have to solder the connections to fix the blade?

    I was going to ask about buying the dingy floor model at best buy and fixing it up, but it was gone today! Maybe it will be back...

    Can anyone bum a deathstick?

    i removed all 64 resistors from an mr blade and soldered i wire between the two solder points. does anyone know what could happen from doing that? so far it has been working fine and is a lot brighter. i figured it just shortened the life of the led but i don't care because it is getting converted as soon as tim's kit is ready for the luke rotj.

    it will just shorten the life, since you are giving too much power to the leds
