decent purple from fx construction kit mod?

[Zook]

what value resistor did you end up with,

i spoke to the manager of my local maplins electronics shop and he told me that a pot is not sesnitive enough to use for resistence this small.

I am sorry I dont remember. I wrote the values down after I got the color I liked but I cant find it now. I may pull the hilt apart some time and see what it is. Still though the color I like (actually what my little girl liked) may not be the same color purple you like.

I'm guessing somewhere between 3 and 5 ohms.

that sound about right. i was looking at your tutorial on upgrading the construction kit on youtube, and you said that you used one between 3-5 i think.

yeah i have been really interested in the idea of modding a construction kit. so i think i will try it. although i don't have much faith in the stock led that it comes with, so i might put a better one in there. (uless anyone can reassure me that it is perfectly bright enough.)
