why are you buying so many leds and heatsinks? if this is your first saber you should probably stick with the basics.

Probably just want's color options.. might want to go with the white led and the discs sold here

NO!

Having multiple LEDs and heatsinks on quick disonnects probably isn't a bad idea, you get the best colors and brightness that way.

You don't need to order 5 heat sinks, because one will come with your blade holder, so just order 4.

But you will need a different battery holder for the Lux 3 LEDs than what comes with the Lux 5 LED kit.

I also don't see an MPS Insert or Clip for your Pommel.

I have 5 different colored Lux 3 LEDs on heat sinks with Quick Disconnects, so I don't see anything weird about that. Except I didn't order them all at once.

I was just saying for a first saber (to get the feel for things) if he wants an easy option..

But as always..fender is right

I decided to order all the heatsinks and LED's because I figured that I could have all the colors i wanted in great quality if i used a quick change system. I do plan on ordering the color discs to use on the white. Also, can i run a Lux V off a 4AA holder?

What kinda batt. solution you gonna use?

4aa is 6v alk. batts, the LUX V runs at 6.85vf at 700-1000 ma. so it would be under-driven voltage wise by 1v.

Seems like he totally ignore my post.
