Whoa. Lets keep our cool. No need for language. When we are slandered, we answer kindly.

Again it depends on how you wire it. I know Makoto has managed it. I am sure we can figure it out.

If you wire the two strips in parrallel to each other it would be the same.

I'm back after some months. I made a "kid-safe" LED saber from the materials I had. Keep in mind this is just a very crude first model- that's why the blade is massive and the handle is a PVC pipe. The thing is literally designed to be a lamp you can hit people with (and it is for the most part safe, both for the victim and for the blade components- as long as you don't go overboard).

The consistency of the LEDs when not in their PE foam sheath is very good. I know I've already mentioned this before, but I'd like to reiterate that everything I've ordered from Hebeiltd's American distributor has been nothing short of impressive. I recommend the 4.5 mm LEDs.
