Hey guys, i was waiting on stuff i ordered for my halo armor, so i decided to start another project, so i made a lightsaber, and i think it turned out very well, and it was incredibly fun to make! plan on making a set of 4, and i may make a tutorial, anyway, heres the pic of the near-finished darth vader lightsaber, and yes, it will light up like the FX saber, i just need the correct lights to do it, (im not sure what to use for the lights, any ideas?) The last pic is photoshoped to have a lit blade, a scar on my face, and the backround (obviosly). Sorry for any low quality pics

I believe they use leds so when you turn it on each segment goes and it lights upward...
yea, i was thinking i would use a luxeon LED unit, wich is what a company called "ultra sabers", and its powerful enough to light the whole blade and they sell them at a website called "the custom aber shop", wich is were i got my blade supplies

proton saber? im afraid i havnt heard of that. I have an ultra saber, wich is powered by a luxeon LED unit

A Proton Saber is my own design..
I merged a light saber, with a Ghostbusters Proton pack. Its not a "blade" but more like a "whip" Like indiana jones.. Better yet, like Ivy's sword in Soul Calibur.

It stays relatively short while idle, but extends during whiplashes. Then retracts back.

I'm no pro at this, but you can also use EL wire I think. Nice work. Anakins?
Yea EL wire wuld probably work, and good guess on the saber, but, this is Vader's, i acctually do have an Anakin/luke saber in the works, (Luke used Anakin's old saber in episode four: a new hope).
im making a set of 4
1. vader
2. luke/Anakin
3. Obi wan
4. my own custom saber
5?. Yoda?
