Question about converting EL to LED
I have a saber (from Guy at the Saber Works) that has EL electronics in it...
Well, I see that the LED sabers are VERY awesome looking (compared to my EL)... So, I want to convert my EL saber into a Luxeon LED blade.
I can get the kit here and everything, and it shouldn't be hard to put the electronics in the hilt, my question is, will this even work (saw something about the blade width being different from EL and LED), and has anyone done it and can give me some pointers to look out for.
If it would be difficult is there any place that will outfit (convert) a non MR EL hilt?

Yeah, here is a picture
(Note, that is not my blade, so if you or anyone else knows a way to get the EL blade that bright, that would be excellent)
I do use a 9v currently... I'm guessing you would up the voltage by changing to a multiple AA battery housing?
I want to change from an EL, because I love the nice bright white core look of the LED. I already have the electronics for EL, and have considered just leaving that as it, but I love the look of my saber and think it would be great to have the white "film" core on the blade.
Thanks for the reply,
Tony

really it just matters if theres enough room on the inside. cuz, youd have to have room, size wise for the blade holder, sound board, if used, and batt pack.
might could get it in there without sound. but i bet youll have to machine out the blade holder end some for tims holder to fit, and thats with him machinin as much off the outside as he can too.
dont know how big the diam is on the inside of your handle.
