While a ridiculously bright blade is a byproduct of the project, half the novelty is making a functional saber out of a deprecated and condemned technology.
To prove that something thought impossible, is in fact possible, however impractical.
If I ever get it to work, it will have left me with the technique and experience needed to make a saber out of pretty much anything.
At this rate it'll all be documented right here, so the entire community can learn from my exploits.
If I can conquer 250 degrees celcius, we'll never again have issues with heat management.
If I can power the incredibly greedy incandescents' 12V@1.7A, we'll have a limitless supply of options for higher power boards and LED's.
It's more than making a ridiculous saber, its pioneering and developing the obscure techniques needed to operate higher level components.
That's the part that everyone else should be excited about.

I did source the Platlight SSR-90, by Luminus. The only official retailer is their partner Avanet.
Supplies are extremely limited and they're on a 14 week hold but they're only $45.83 each for the whites here.
They have pure colors, and RGB's as well.
800+ lumens in Red
1900+ lumens in Green
450+ lumens in Blue
and 1000-2250 in white.
All diodes operate on 1-9A (lux scaling somewhat linearly), making them usable for almost any saber application once they're available.
Since I'm already working oh high level power sources, I think the true holy grail of LED tech is actually the CSM-360-W, running 3600-6000 lumens at 3.6-6.9A.
The drawback being fact that it's actually four 90's mounted on a single chip under a single dome.
Still... if someone could recreate the format on a star..... daylight in a can.

They are available and a few of us are already using them. You may find that after the white is filtered & reaches the tube you have no more light than these.
