Specs : "The Senate" : a lightsaber hilt by JQsabers - US 2.5 sound pcb - Luxeon III royal blue - 2 accent led's 5mm clear blue - custom removable battery pack/speaker combo : 4x1,5 AAA = 6V Build log : Included in the kit : The switches (1 momentary and 1 latching), switch mount ring, 5mm led switch caps (1 green and 1 red), recharge socket, 28mm O-ring, kill plug, emitter plug, speaker, custom main LED heatsink. Not included : Blade, main LED, battery pack,/holder and main LED.

No recharging solution since i wanted to change batteries on the fly, making it ideal for trooping. Secondly, the only decent sound pcb i had available at the time was US 2.5 so the latching switch was not necessary and was replaced by a 5mm accent led. Starting on the battery pack proved to be a bit of a challenge since the inner diameter of the hilt measures 28mm (4mm smaller then MHS parts). The only setup that could fit and was cheap, was a common AAA battery setup. However, when researching which battery packs were available, a 4 x AAA battery pack to get 6V did not exist with the dimensions i needed. The only pack i could find was a 2 x AAA batt. setup that could fit. I decided ...
