MR An4kin conversion assembly.
Here is an Anakin conversion using the existing parts.
After disassembling the saber, I pull out the blade stop and cut it down so that the lens face will be flush, or just below the top.
In this Image I have also slotted some corners into the bottom side to fit the LED. In this case, a StarO white.
___________________________________
Here you can see the base of the StarO LED ground down at the corners and fitted to the blade stop. And also ground/filed to pass the wiring.

___________________________________
The heat sink has been slotted on the band saw, and filed down to pass the wires back to the PCB
___________________________________
The LED has been wired and the heat sink has been epoxied into place using "arctic silver" thermal adhesive.
___________________________________
After pushing the LED and heat sink back into the stock mount, I drilled down through the mount, and the heat sink. The 1/8" brass rod will pin the whole assembly in place.
___________________________________
All the wiring is then soldered together and tested.
This was done as Strydur shows in the Darth Vader tutorial, except that I put the resistor between the LED, and the shock sensor(blue and purple wires)
___________________________________
Once certain everything works, the whole saber is reassembled and finished.
___________________________________
This saber will probably be disassembled again, and all the parts put into a custom hilt for my nephew's birthday.
So, Three sabers built, and I have yet to build one for myself.[xx(]
If there is any kind of plan, I think there will be three(3watt) for myself by the time I am done. [

[edit]guess I should put a mirror in the blade...[
