    looks good LeMoel,

    Do you have more information on those LEDs? What's the current draw? 45 lumens each they must be drawing some serious Amps.

    Thats cool. I am glad you found something that works. Definitely share the love on those LEDs. I can't usually find something that bright.

    How does packing foam and nylon fair?

    Have you considered using additional LED's for lighted hilt accents? I've seen this done with EL, specifically on Parks sabers. However, using LED's might work as well.
