Anybody had any more luck finding optics? I thought I'd found some, but (once again) they turned out to be too large to fit in a saber.

No luck here either, I'm afraid...
But--I haven't really been "on the saber thing" for some months now.

hey nova... is there a way to mount one of the LEDengin 15watt LEDs? ive just been brainstorming it would be a great presentation item for my club...
DJ If you really want something brighter than the perfectly acceptable Seoul P4, then use a LEDEngin 10W or a Cree MCE. They come on stars and regular optics should be fine. All you have to worry about is how to power them. The 15W is more trouble than its worth.Originally Posted by DJMoonbass

I'm going to have to agree with Vargose. Also... as always, you want to start simple and work up to something more innovative.
It's pretty hard to just "jump into uber" anyhow... with most anything in life actually.

Got some optics that should fit (some user here has used them in a saber, don't remember who) apparently even though they are for the cree xre q5 they work on P7's

Awesome! Looks like I have an order to place. Thanks. (Right in time, too. Someone was screwing with my saber and they've managed to kill it somehow.)
As for why look for something brighter than the P4? I've got my heart set on a yellow blade, and even with a wide selection of theater gels, I haven't been able to get a good, reasonably bright yellow.

Yeah. Got two 'sampler' packs from a local theater store, and a 1" hole punch from a local scrap-booking store. Went through about 12 gels before I found one that looked ok, but the tip is still too dang dim.

if anyone was still looking into this I found this, don't know where to buy it up thought I'd through it out there.
