DESCRIPTION
This is my #8 LED lightsaber. For quite some time now, I have wanted to build a double-bladed green hilt. I have also wanted to finally try out the new K2 luxeon leds. This hilt uses two K2 green leds, with a a very low BIN number, giving them a very bright green, almost neon. I built with hilt with 2 separate switches, for a separated mode.
The bottom two pics show were taken with no flash, hence the slight blur. The left image was taken with a light on just above and to the right of the right side door. The right image was taken with no local light in.
With two 36" blades attached, you can see just how long this sucker is.
