Here are the parts I hope to be able to use in my first saber.

I originally posted this in another thread of mine discussing the saber sound card I had purchased might be d amaged.

I realised it might get a better response if posted here.

I've compiled the list. Keep in mind this is for the SaberSound card:

-Max input 10v

-Direct drives 3 watt leds at 1000mah with 6v input

-Can direct drive up to a LUX V

Please let me know of what I've missed. As I'm sure I have.

My wallet empties with this:

7" Fluted with guarded style switch hole
Screw on LED blade holder style 1
Double ended male threaded connector
3" Fluted double female threaded connector
MPS Pommel style 4
MPS Insert style 7
SPST Momentary Guarded switch with blue button
Premium Speaker
Shouldered 1" thin walled blade tip with reflective disc
Mirrored adhesive disc for Stip3/4Thin
1" Thin walled Polycarbonate 40" long
Blade film (Quad wrap +$9.00, 1" Thin walled)
Luxeon III Star (Cyan)
Luxeon III/V Lens Holder
Luxeon Collimator Lens 5 deg viewing angle
Luxeon Collimator Lens 10 deg viewing angle
Luxeon star heatsink
4AA battery holder
10-32 x 1/4" set screw


Now a few questions/comments:

I've omitted a resistor because it states the board can direct drive the LuxIII. Would I need one anyway?

Is there any advantage/disadvantage to 4AAs as opposed to 4AAAs?

What exactly is the service for being able to accommodate this particular switch into the hilt? Is it just a matter of making the hole bigger? Because I can do that.

I chose another mirrored disc because I intend on using the smaller diameter so some light can escape the tip of the blade.

I chose both lenses because I don't know which I'll like.

I can drill and tap the blade holder myself.


Thanks for your time
