I have a Quick Disconnects question. I know you can't have FOC with a Tri-Cree color. If you get a Tri-Cree color with QD on your initial saber order will it come with the FOC disconnect? I would like to add a led with FOC later. If I loose the disconnect I would rather get FOC like I always do and swap my FOC led with a Tri -Cree led if I want later.  That way I can just tuck the FOC disconnect back in the saber for use later and have both options.

Best to check with US directly, but I would assume that it's just one lead wired off the board (presumably the main black connector).

I'm assuming that's probably correct. I'm thinking someone knows.  I may end up asking US.

Hey there. If your saber is originally built with Quick Disconnects that includes Flash on Clash you can latter buy a Tri LED, but you can not do it the other way around, and buy it with TRI and have Flash On Clash  later because it is not wired to the soundboard. If that makes sense.

Darn, I was afraid that was the case. Thanks!

Perhaps you could check whether US night wore the board for flash, even if the LED is a tri-cree? You're still paying for the QDs, just one less harness for them to hook up.

That's a good idea, I may do that when I'm ready. Shouldn't be that big a problem for them.

I thought quick disconnect was incompatible with flash on clash, which is a shame because I have a plan for a lightsaber that would use those.

From my understanding it is compatible if you are interchanging other MLS equipped for FoC.

You can use QD's with Flash on Clash. When you swap it with a non-FoC module, it works great, just without the FoC. What you can't do is ordering a non-FoC saber with QD's, use a LED module with FoC and expect the FoC to work Wink

It absolutely is, as many of my flash units have quick disconnects Smiley

In fact... (my most linked to topic by a mile Wink)

You can't have flash and tri-cree, though - one or the other.

I wish I had done that with Tri Cree QD sabers, but 90% of my MLS units are the TRI LED anyway, so no biggie now. Good to know for future reference, though. Thanks and it's my pleasure to award you a point, PKIA! Have a nice weekend.

Ooooh this is very interesting, thanks guys. I'm planning to make a curved scorpion and I want to be able to switch between red and blue, both with silver FOC, so I'm definitely going to talk about this with US when I make my order. Great information here.
