Wiring Guides for Sabers

[Guest Darth Revan]

This is a great site for wiring LED sabers and has some good componets for saber making.

Links are not working for me.

corbinscomponents has merged with www.thecustomsabershop.com corbin is now doing R&D for them. Its a good place that sells quality parts.

So does anyone here actually do their own wiring!?!

[Guest Darth Revan]

I do. I have wired a couple of sabers for people and the electronics for my M41a Pulse Rifle (from Aliens movie) and my Shoulder lamp (from Aliens as well)

 

If you need help with LED oe EL selection, what resistors to use, and power supplies for lightsabers just let me know.

 

I can also help with other wiring questions

[Guest Cleverlilminx]

Can you write up a basic wiring tutorial then? With photos?

[Guest Darth Revan]

I am ordering a new saber soon, well in the next month. Once it is in I will do a tutoral and I will look around this weekend to see if I have parts to do a basic wiring tutorial.

[Guest Cleverlilminx]

Sounds good, just keep in mind it should be a "Wiring for Dummies" so folks like me can learn something.

I can help too. I stripped and rewired my MR Vader and put in a K2 Lux. I also have a 5W Lux I built from scratch from Home Depot parts...

[Guest Cleverlilminx]

By all means, I highly encourage folks to make tutorials.

 

Just add lots of photos and keep the steps/descriptions simple.

This isn't a tutorial per say, but it's a handout I wrote for a conpanel on lighting props. I've had some good responses from it and always welcome criticism:
