    She's done. After 32 months from my first TCSS order for this saber, I bring you

    SPECTRA

    The colors in Spectra are the order of colors on the rotary switch :dft012:











    I didn't take pictures of every color, as the blending was right for a lot of them. The red LED is the one at the 'top' of the triangle, so it doesn't get a good view of the optics. As such, the purple is a bit blue and the orange is basically all green. Oh well, I really just wanted the red, green, and blue features.

    Hey LM. The wirework on this is awesome. Do you have a pics of the led wiring, I'd love to see how you've done that.

    Also looking at the BDC switch there are only 4 wires, 3 go to the CC led and one goes to the main led, is this right?. If so, is the wire that goes to the main led the positive which is then spliced to go to the positives on the main led with the negatives from the main led going to the board????

    Brilliant build Maul. A 'bar raising' saber. I was of the understanding that the CF board detects LED voltage on boot. how does this effect booting on green and then switching to Red? Did you have to overcome problems like this?

    The wires from the BDC switch are set up as 3 positives and one negative. Those leads get spliced in two, each LED has its own 4 wire quick connect.

    Clockwork, I haven't had any problems yet.

    Thanks for the compliments guys.
