I got the rest of my amber leds in the mail finally, a week late, so now I can finish the blade. So, I should use something close to a 4.5ohm 5 watt resistor?

you know you're from 405th when the workers at radioshack know you by name. (me)

The led current is 2.2, so 6vts - 2.2 = 3.8 right? well here's the chart. [attachment=10897:untitled.PNG] I'm not really worried about the brightness of the darth vader lightsaber, it's just a cheap toy, i just re-wired it for solder practice.

I finished my darth vader lightsaber the other day. i replaced the 3 red leds with 3 amber leds like in my older post, but now its finished. It's not red, it's really a lighter orange, my stupid phone camera doesn't know it's colors. Yesterday I found some crystal things from our...

Sweet, those are amazing! I love the crystals in the darth maul, it's awesome! :eek

Yeah i originally planned on buying one from them, but when i found i could make one myself, i descided to do that. that way i could make my own design for the hilt.

So, would it be smarter to use a 9vt battery or 4 aaa batterys? Oh i forgot to edit my old post, im gonna get the whole luxeon iii kit, i was looking at a kit different kit that had a complete blade with it, but then i seen the actual luxeon iii kit, so im getting that. i must've been looking...

nice armor, & if ur gonna stick with an iron man helmet, i would use sharkhead's file, its smoother & more accurate. i used the one u made & i had lots of trouble later, still havent finished it.

wow, loads better than my first build, which was an epic failure. looks good, & welcome to 405th!

Wow this is amazing! Even the jaw moves! This is the first jackal costume i've ever seen, i won't be suprized if this ends up in the elite forum! 5*

@thatdecade So, when i do get a luxeon amber led, what all do i need to get, because i'm not gonna buy the whole kit because i already have half of the stuff in it, & how do I hold it in place in my hilt? Oh & another thing, can you buy 1" white polycarbonate tubes at any store, like a...

Since i've gotten into starwars again recently, because of playing the force unleashed & seeing the trailer for the old republic, i decided to see what all starwars things i had when i was a kid, & i found 8 lightsaber toys i used to collect (9 if i didnt give away my obi wan saber) & put...

If anyone on here has lightsabers, feel free to post pics of them here, i love lightsaber props.

You should post a picture of your lightsaber here, i've never seen a pic of the white one before. That's not mine, its one that someone made with a luxeon 3 amber led that i found to compare colors with. but the hilt design on that one was very close to mine, plus they used the same color led...

My leds came today, but i don't think i have enough of the same color. I got a 100 pack, but it was more than one color that equaled 100. before i order some more, how many 5mm leds should i use for a 32" blade, just to make sure i order enough? EDIT: I'm gonna go ahead & get a lexeon 3 led...
