Just a guy with a lightsaber, and some questions.

Hey folks, newbie question:

I've had my Initiate V4 stunt for a while and am finally going to start fiddling with the electronics. Naturally, I'm hesitant because I don't want to break anything if I don't have to, and I can't seem to find anything specific on how to remove my LED, being that this is a solid hilt without an MHS emitter.

Would I just remove everything from the pommel upward (battery pack, switch, LED)? And if so, how is the LED affixed inside? I know the switch is glued in, but is the LED just free floating or will I have to rough it up to remove it?

Thanks!

Hey Dex!

The LED in the V4s is free-floating and should slide right out.  the biggest issue I can think of would be the choke points, it may need to slide out the emitter.

Fantastic, thanks Karmack. Now all I need is the courage to snip the wires and pry that switch out, haha

I already did mine. If the switch is removed it should slide out either direction. If the switch is installed you need to shake it out the blade holder. You can shake the whole aluminum housing assembly out then you can either snip wires and  change the whole assembly or unscrew the bottom from the housing and swap just the LED star with a bit of soldering.

The ones i have taken apart with resistor setups have had a resistor that would be suitable for any of the  single colors.
