I have most of this saber covered but now I need to find out what the button or switch looks like. any one got any pictures of the switch for reference?

thanks

I've been hunting for the button too with no luck. I think I am going to go with a black switch, hidden in the black grip area.

Do-Clo done a slide switch in the grip for me on my one.
That seems to be the way most people do it.
Check mine in the gallery or on Do-Clo's site.

thanks guys. I'm using black ribbed tubing for the grip(I'm on a budget of £7.32)so I'll put it in there, U guys are life savers, my dads takin me to maplins electronics today so I'll pick up a white luxeon 3 watt there, they specialise in luxeons apparently,I will also get a 2.20ohmz resistor,my dad has some heatshrinks and a heat gun,.in the concept prop version of imp knight it looks like the button is a small chrome dot near the pommel,I also need some better reference pics cos CP only has a side view
Thanks

Kin, I work for them. We don't sell them anymore!
Only do blue 3w WITHOUT the mounts!

Everything else for the circuit we do, but not the Lux!

[kinchar bamin]

what! why?. I'm pished now

where else can I get them without ordering them online? wait!...no
thats a hard one

[Barmic Rin]

We stopped stocking them a year ago.
I managed to grab half a dozen when I found out they were discontinued.
May have a spare 3w white, not too sure.
I definitely need one for my nieces saber, but if I have a spare, it's yours.

We just started stocking LED on a roll, haven't tested it out for effect yet, but was thinking of giving it ago.
If it works, i'm hoping for the same effect as a hyperdyne blade.

WOW! thanks! if you have a spare the address will be in your inbox thingy, THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how much will it cost?

[Barmic Rin]

I'll check I have it first. Not 100% sure if it's white or green I have spare.

Pop into maplins still, for the rest of the parts.
Anyone ask what you're building, tell them that it's a saber like the Assistant Manager of Wimbledon's (I got pics in the company newsletter in may if they need pics!)

[kinchar bamin]
