Finally building my first LED saber.

[MaverickJsmith]

Hey folks. I'm finally making my first LED saber. It will have an Ultrasound V2 and a Royal Blue LED. This saber isn't an MHS saber, It's an older saber I got some years ago, in the EL era of lightsabers (insert spooky sounds in the backround). So I'm converting this saber to LED.

I have a few questions.

I've combed the forums for a very long time, absorbing all the endless knowledge that is contained therein. Now, I need some opinions.

What LED type should I go with? Lux III? K2? P4 with a filter? Is a Lux V worth it?

I've noticed that the lens holders and maybe the lenses as well are out of stock. Where could I find them?

I need something to mount the speaker in. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make a speaker mount?

The inner diameter of this saber is about 1 1/8th inches. To my understanding, the AAA battery holder will fit, is that correct?

Every bit of info you guys can give me will help a lot. Thanks for listening guys
