Color changing LEDs for hot tub?
I know that there are some color changing topics here and even one with the Lux LED; however, I have this light in my hot tub and was wondering what you more experienced builder thought about it…
It plugs right into a typical 194 automotive light socket with a 12v power source (that may be a problem right there) and is controlled by toggling it on and off.)
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">10 lighting modes:
White; Spectrum Slow Dance: fade through all colors; Sunburst: yellow and orange glow; Blue; Red; Green; Magenta: pink, blue, red glow; Tidal Fade: blue and green fade; Afterburner Fade: red, orange, pink, yellow, purple fade; Color Burst: strobe effect change through all colors
Note: Not for spas with dimming systems. 24 ultra-bright LEDs rated to last for over 100,000 hours.

(Sorry, I can't get the demonstration to transfer from the other sight, and I don't want to post a link to the store W/O Tim's approval.)
It’s pretty bright in my tub, and mine has only 9 LEDs but I don’t know what it will do in a saber. But rest assured I WILL be trying it! lol
The dimensions of mine are aprx. 1 1/4"W X 3/4"H

Sounds like an interesting concept but I would worry about heat. 12 volts is 12 volts so that is not a big deal, but those units are designed to be under water which is part of the heat transfer process. I have one that I use at Halloween and when it is not in the punch it gets way hot which would not be good for the cofinement of a hilt with no air movement.

Good to know. I guess the only other issue may be cost. I could pretty much get a whole TCSS MHS kit for what the hot tub led cost me and with the white LED and discs plus imagination I can get ALOT of colors. I just couldn't do the cool effects. I know there has been some talk on here about the RBG LEDs but I am still waiting to see how the battery consumption goes since my primary dualing partner can go at it for over an hour easy non-stop. Oh to be 6 years old again[]

Yea that's about what I paid when I got mine so for 25 bucks ya can't go wrong. It will prove to be a interesting expirment, keep us posted.

Yes, how long you have it on is a big issue. The sabers I sell on ebay I designed my heatsink to work for quite a while but most people don't run sabers for more than 10 min.
Is that your lightsaber or are you happy to see me?
