Could a saber that's built around a flashlight work?

So I've done some brainstorming, and I think I might be onto something. I have an old mag-lite xl200 that puts out a rather large amount of power, and I think if I find a lens for it, I could theoretically build a pvc hilt around it and build a homemade saber. I would of course use a US blade, and fit my hilt to that size. The reason for this, of course, is as of now I have no clue how to solder. I just want you guys' opinion on the possibility of it. I've also done some searching on the forums and can't really find any definitive answer to this question. I know it's been done in a smaller, cheaper, and overall bad looking way before but I'm talking about a good looking saber. With color discs of course.
If I'm posting in the wrong place please tell me!

If there isn't going to be a soundboard you can buy the cheapest soldiering iron you can find. If your putting in a soundboard your going to want a ESD safe one so you don't ruin your soundboard.
I think that sound like a fun idea other than most flashlights are really heavy. I guess if your going to switch out the batteries for double A's it would work better.

Yes, it's possible. I saw a video on YouTube where someone built their saber around a flashlight. Bear in mind that that's basically what a stunt saber is, a flashlight with a colored LED. (unless you order silver)

I prefer to stay close to neutral.

Heck, that does sound like fun. I hope you come back with some pix and stuff, because that sounds awesome.
I know that there are adapters made by a... *ahem* prominent manufacturer of MHS parts. You may have guessed who. They make emitters and MHS/MPS pommel adapters for both C- and D-cell classic MagLite flashlights.
