Here is my hilt thus far...

1211151324-00.jpg

It's 1" PVC, 11" long from longest point on both ends. I really am having trouble with understanding resistors and connecting the "12mm Anti Vandal Momentary Purple Ring Switch" and "Red/Green/Royal Blue Cree XP-E2 CopperNova". Purple is what I'm going for. I have no knowledge of electronics and what wires, etc. to buy. With this already built hilt, what else do I need to buy? The sound module will come at a future date.

Here is the shopping list so far:

-12mm Anti Vandal Momentary Purple Ring Switch
-Red/Green/Royal Blue Cree XP-E2 CopperNova
-Star thermal tape pad
-18deg Tri-Rebel/Cree Star Lens
-8-32 x 1/2" thumb screw (Do you think it might be necessary to buy more than one since this is going to be installed in PVC?)
-LED "Corbin style" Battle blade 1" OD (40 inches) Quad Wrap Bullet Shaped

Just confused since all tutorials and most parts seem to be relative to metal hilts.
