New LED modules

[The_Night]

any possibility we could purchase just the LED housing? if so how much would it cost?

I just saw the new modules in the store... $25!!! if i had enough money i'd get one in every color. I do have one question though. Will you be adding a feature to all sabers to have quick disconnects installed upon request?

We're not sure about adding that feature to every saber due to certain logistics issues.

As for the pricing, we tried to keep it competitive with other offerings while offering a superior product.  If you were to buy a Collimator Lens, Lens Holder, Seoul P4 LED, Star heatsink, and quick disconnect from TCSS, the price would be $21 and it still wouldn't hold the optic in place.

Yeah i know. I was surprised at how inexpensive they were! I've ordered parts from TCSS before and put them together as best as i could, but it definitely didn't top these.

Yeah, it's honestly pretty much the same price. I'm just curious about the unit without LED cuz i was doing one with a yellow LED i had to get seperate. But no harm in having a spare LED around

Ultra,

Would my Prophecy (which I bought a while back) look any better/brighter/cleaner using this new polished aluminum module than it does with the older collimator which it has in it now?  Is it worth swapping it out?  I have an RGB model.

Also, is there any data available as to whether the polished aluminum will oxidize or tarnish over time (and decrease the light output)?

Is there any data on collimator beam angle (in degrees)?  I think the TCSS ones are like 5, 8.5, and 10 degrees.

It looks like an awesome product.  I can't tell how you keep the star from shorting out once it's all buttoned up.  I have an SSC P7 that I would like to try and fit in there LoL.

Adding the quick disconnect option to the compatible sabers would be a really good idea. There are a lot of people who would love being able to swap colors with the ease it would offer. Especially for those withought to tools or the technical know-how to install the necessary hardware. Then there's people like me who are lazy hahaha!

Also for people who didn't have enough for the RGB option at the time of purchase, or didn't want multiple buttons. I personally like to stick with one button per saber and it'd be great to collect one of these in each color, and a few extras in my favorite colors, so i can mix and match whenever i want.

So how tall is this module? From top to bottom that is... I am making a custom saber and would like to know the dimensions. Thanks

I just Bought the Dark Shock and had some questions about the LED Module,
1. will work for the dark shock?
2. will it make it brighter than the orriginal stlye that it comes with?

There are 2 LED modules. One for non-MHS sabers (like Dominix for example) and one for the MHS compatable sabers (like yours)

The one in the video is the standard LED module, that fits "older" sabers. The one you have is the new Modular LED System (MLS) unit. You can see a top edge on yours, as it holds the module in place, where the first "older" one (the one in the video) has none.

There is some confusin on the US hompege, the new "Modular LED System (MLS) unit" is listed under "Accessories" and the one in the vid, can be found under "Parts & Supplies" simply as "LED Module "

To put it simply, you dont need this module (it's not right for your saber) and you allready have a "Modular LED System (MLS) unit" in your saber, that is probably the best US has to offer right now when it comes to brightness. I sugest you get another "Modular LED System (MLS) unit" in different colour or try Li-ion setup for bateries, my Consular is freaking awesome in blue (i have the "Modular LED System (MLS) unit" same as you) and red! I was glad how easy it is to swap the LED modules with quick dissconnects ! And the Li-ion setup provides me with maximum brightness till the batteries run out of juice. My Phantasm on the other hand, uses standard setup for bateries, and i cant belive the differance. The only time my Phantasm is as bright as my Consular, is right when i pop new batteries in it.

Maximum brightness in standard (non-li ion) cells is rather short, and you will find yourself replacing the cells WAAAAAAAAAY before they actualy die out, just to have max brightness with new cells! And replacing a cell, knowing it still has more than 50% its "lifetime" in it, but you simply cant use it cuz it cant be as bright as fresh cells, is a crime. A ripoff. I hope the bann regular disposable batteries (cells) with rechargables only !
