There is no purple luxeon. That's why we need filters. The LED will have +'s and -'s on them.

Sorry guy the Luxeon does not come in purple, you will have to use white with a filter to make a purple saber. The led has the solder pads maked positve and negative so it is easy to tell them apart.
The other option for a purple blade is to use uV leds to get a purple color, check the thread index and look for purple led I posted some pictures and diagrams there to make a purple blade.

ok so then how do i get the blade to look purple? should i get a white lux 3 and use the color disc or should i look for something else?

That is your only option, a white led and a filter (discs, those index tabs, etc...).

I'm fast like that.[
I completely forgot you could use Do-clo's UV setup, but that might be much since you said you've never soldered.
