You can buy a luxeon conversion for your mag lite that just plugs in, then all you have to do is work out your blade holder.

I was able to move on in the Maglite project.
i used a Red 3 watt led, 2.2 resistor and 4AAA
battery. I ended up cutting off the end of
flashlight and using 3/4" PVC tubing one just
behind the led to keep it from moving. The
lens is glued into a 1" poly C tube which is
glued into the 3/4" PVC tube. I placed a 1" PVC
tube over the 3/4" piece. I painted those parts
black. to match the black maglite. I know I need to do
more to the hilt it looks too much like flashlight still.
I thought about adding grips but when i tried i didnt
like the look. So maybe i'll add some buttons or screw-on
accents. What those accents will be i dont know. I
havent taken pics of what i've done so far but will
tomorrow. I'll hopefully get them posted in the afternoon.

So i've changed the maglite a bit since my last post. feedback would be greatly appreciated pos. or neg. The rings i've added are for sink drains they're just turned inside out. i had them bunched together it looked ok, but it made the hilt's lower half heavy so then i had 7 on the lower half and 7 at the top below the emitter. That was ok. Then I settled on them being spread out like it is.

While it was plain before (not really a bad thing since it was black. It has a whole different look this way.

I'm suprised it wasn't mentioned before... what kind of case are you using for the sabers?
