Soundboards:
What is the top of the line sound/light board? Can it be purchased in large quantities? 100+?.. cost aside.
I've heard names such as crystal focus, petite crouton, crystal shard obsidian USB.
Crystal Focus is the best. Petit Crouton/Prizm are next tier down, Crystal Shard is a Sabersmith only board that is next tier down, and Nano Biscotte is the most basic tier. and then waaaaay below the bottom tier is the Obsidian
What soundboard does ultra sabers and saber forge use?
Not sure about SF, but US is the Obsidian which as I noted above is garbage. Like others have said, these two have bad reputations, look around at different groups on FB for details cause nobody here likes talking about it.
LEDs:
What is the recommended LED for maximum brightness?
Just judging on Brightness Creee XP-L is the brightest, but it is also just white. Cree XP's in the other Colors are next brightest, a Tri-Cree in a single color will be marginally brighter than a single led in that color.
Is it possible to have all colors in one LED without sacrificing brightness? If not, what are the possible combinations / if yes are there any sacrifices?
No. Its all about the tradeoffs of infinite colors vs absolute brightness; if there were a magic LED, everyone would be using it. Tri-Cree R/rB/G is recommendation for color mixing LED
Are all saber related LED's the same diameter? is there a standard?
The LEDs are all star-mounted, and at least all the ones I have encountered are about the same size. If you look around you'll see others have taked LED stars not specifically made for sabers, which have a slightly larger diameter, and modded them to fit in a standard heatsink.
BATTERY:
Please recommend your ideal battery considering these factors (Small diameter, any length, long life, highest power output (brightness), compatibility with your recommended LED and soundboard.
7.4V li-ion battery pack works best for CF, but it can be modded to work with a 3.7V li-ion pack (smaller) if necessary sacrificing some audio power I believe. Just get the highest mAh value you can for the Voltage you decide on
BLADE:
In order to use a 3/4" blade does the lightsaber itself need a 3/4" hole? are any other companies such as saber forge and ultra sabers offering such a hilt?
You can get an adapter for your blade to fit the 1" Blade Holders, they sell them in the shop. No, not that I am aware of. the 1" blade/blade holders seems to be an industry standard.
Why have the majority of saber owners elected to use a 1" blade?
Because thats just the standard
Is the 1" blade not "fat" in comparison to the 3"4" blade?
I do not personally think the difference is significant enough to bother with the thinner blades, but other people will swear by the 3/4"ers. Its all really personal preference, but like I said, 1" is the standard.
Which blade is closer to the diameter of the lightsabers in the recent star wars movies?
No idea, I never took the time to measure the diameter of his blade the last time Qui-Gon came to my planet...
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Using your recommended LED, soundboard, and battery please outline each factor of compatibility necessary for consideration. Please include specific details for each part.. using terms such as charge, voltage, current and diameter / dimensions to outline each parts specifications and compatibility.
Nah, I'll leave you some reading to do lol
