Thread: Super small batteries?

  1. #1

    Default Super small batteries?

    This may be a bit off topic but it is in regards to lighting a lightsaber soooo....

    I recently bought the 1/4 scale Darth maul toy (which is incredibly awesome). I want to light the sabers w/ some mini leds. Is there a tiny watch battery that could power a mini LED?? If I have to go the wire route I was going to recast the saber in the hand so I could run the wires through the hand down to the base and a switch. Would be cool to make it w/ out wires though.

    i dont remember where the post is exactly, but look for a thread talking about a Green Lantern ring, in that thread there is a link explaining how to make a ring that lights up with a small LED, you should be able to use that as a basis

    3v "coin cell" batteries are perfect for mini-LEDs. No resistor needed, either, generally.

    LED throwies. lol

    You can go to wal-mart and get a pen/laser pointer combo. Use the laser pointer part to put in the mini saber.
