Thanks. Credit goes to LDM. Almost all the wiring you see on the board was done by him. All I did was Desolder/resolder the main led after attaching the aluminum reflector/heatsink.
Successfully hooked up the switch.... Sort of. Kept reminding myself to remember the resistor (which goes onto the positive lead, I discovered) and the heatshrink (remember heatshrink!) that I forgot to remove the nut and bezel on the switch. Whoops. Chalk it up to experience, I guess. Also wired the switch to be normally closed (meaning the button is down when it's off) so I might fix that when I put everything into the hilt. At least it lights up, which is better than I thought I would get. I'm pretty satisfied so far for my first venture.
Up next is sizing and expanding the hole for the switch and taking the old dremel too it, which can probably wait until tomorrow.
