    Default el lightsaber powerdown

    does the el lightsaber with blade have the power up and power down feature and what does the inverter do?

    Hi,

    No. It goes On and Off.

    The inverter converts DC Voltage from a battery - usually 9 to 18 volts - and converts it to a High Frequncy Alternating Current.
    Example 12 volts DC becomes 250 volts 4Khz AC with a very low amperage (I feel deja vu, must be a glitch in the Matrix).

    I'm just guessing at the voltage output of Tim's inverters.

    AC current is required to excite the Electroluminescent coating on the wire.

    Thanks vadeblade but all of that is in the FAQ and EL description...

    <blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">From the FAQ


    How do I get that up/down blade action?
    This is not possible with EL. It is possible with an LED if you use the 3W driver offered in the store.[/br]<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">

    <center>Read the FAQ or x-wing won't be happy.
