"Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before... you want blindingly bright, super loud, running 1138 blinkies off of the cheapest sound card you can find AND you want all of it to run on a battery the size of a dime, and run for a very, VERY long time. That one cracks me up every time..."

The above statements GREATLY depends on what battery solution as well as what sound card you plan on using to run your saber. Limitations will probably apply. Your mileage may vary. Any visual impairments are the sole responsibility of the saber builder/user. - Forgetful Jedi Knight
In my experience, you can NEVER have too much wire in your shop. In various colors, gauges, and flavors.

Is this right? http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz?VS=3.7;VF=2.4;ID=700
So I found the right Li Ion pack in JQ sabers. But what will I do about the charger? I have a EU Plug (UK and USA dont fit), can you plugg the charger in a converter? Or should I look for a charger somewhere else?
Voltage is:
Sweden is 230 V 50 HZ Europe
United Kingdom 240 V 50 HZ UK

Resistor is correct.
It looks like this: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/37...plug-P890.aspx will work if you get a US-to-Sweden plug adapter. It handles 100v-240v according to the description.

So here is my wiring: image.jpg
There was no 2.2ohm 2w resistent will 2.2ohm 5w work?
Yes, the 5W version will work fine. Wattage is a minimum, so you can always go higher but not lower. Higher wattage resistors take up more room in your hilt, so don't go crazy with 10W versions unless you have no choice.
