One of my buddies bought me a dark initiate v2 with sunriders destiny color. I already have one with sunriders destiny color scheme. I have been looking around for a long time and have been coming up blank..
I want to put a red LED in there. Can someone help me understand all the steps I would have to go through to change the sunriders destiny LED to the red LED? Thanks in advanced.

You'll need to remove your old LED by taking out the blade and hitting the emitter on your hand. Cut the wires attached to the LED unit. You need to add some resistors to your lines so that you lower the mA from 1000 to 700. If you don't want to fool with resistors, just put a buck puck in the saber and you'll be ready to go.

You could order a BR LED unit from Ultrasabers but you'd have to cut the old one out and solder-join the new wires just like they were before. If you added quick disconnect connectors, you could swap the SRD with BR at will.
I'd recommend getting a V2 staff coupler too since you could pull off an SRD staff with what you have. All I see are options there... You're not a jerk for wanting to mod... either that or we're all jerks for modding our stuff

Actually i was contemplating making a BRD pike. I think it would be pretty BA.
:-)
Or maybe I could just get a coupler and make a double-bladed SRD :-P
so many options...

Actually SRD uses an RGB LED, so you don't even need to get a new one, you can just "turn off" all the Green and Blue. I'm not 100% sure of how to do this, but I'm sure you can find it on the internet.

Here's how I did it with Emeral Green. I now have Emerald Green and Consular Green in one MLS.

I would guess you would go into the wiring and find some sort of switch. if you want to go perm sith with it, you could probably disconnect or cut the wires leading to the blue and green wires, and putting wire ends on the cut wires. but, as im only 15, I have no clue what nonsense/wisdom im saying
