You're not likely to find the LEDs that are needed to really light up the blade at Radio Shack. Personally I'd recommend a Lux III star, maybe even a kit to simplify matters. Under $19, and you have the whole kit you need including the optics to focus the light up the blade and an optic holder.

I also recommend the 1.25" blade holder. This will give you a heat sink for the LED and a nice solid blade holder for the blade to go into.

Then you can use whatever tubes you want. I'm building sabers for my niece and nephew using these parts, and they're great.
