I will have the diffuser for the blades soon and will post how to build them. So far there doesnt really seem to be a noticeable difference between 5 or 10 degree.

hey tim, how soon will you be able to get that tutorial on making the led blades up? i am having a problem using that weld-on 3 and getting the tip to stay on. its not gluing up right, or im not doing it right or something.

Just barely dip the end of the blade into the glue. Keep holding the end with the qlue on it down and push the tip onto it. Wait a few seconds and then flip the blade so the tip is up and make sure it is centered correctly. This takes awhile to master but it works great for me.

forgive me if this is a stupid question, but PolyC means polycarbonite right? So these LED blades can take a beating? The reason I am asking is I plan on buying a few MHS kits for my martial arts demo team and the blades will be roughed up a bit. I have several lightech sabers that are polycarbonite blades, just wanted to make sure its the same thing. Thanks
