"Sometimes I amaze even MYSELF."

Never come across this before, my latest Frankensaber "THERMIC" came in today, and I was considering swapping out the (what I thought was) silver/white LED with a red led from a different stunt saber.   I pulled out the LED housing and was surprised to find about a dozen wires going to the LED.  Upon closer inspection, its not just a white LED, it looks like RGB, but I only have one activation switch.  Seems like overkill on wiring effort for a stunt saber....

Anyone seen this before?

It appears to be a fully wired RGBW quad LED. There are 8 wires going into the housing and I don't see any hint of amber in the pic shining on the table. It's a good way to do giving the light a bit more richness and fullness in a blade than a regular white LED. lucky draw that one.

I guess so!  I was planning on swapping it out for a red LED, I guess not now.  That's more wiring than I'm comfortable messing with.  There's also not enough slack to get the LED housing any farther out.

Yes that does make it more complicated and challenging, but in have reason to believe with patience you could do it...

I'm sure I don't do anything anyone else cannot learn to do and I made this work. 8 high power LEDs. 4 lit AV switches and two speakers and sound boards. One assembly of TCSS parts. Oh and there is a lit exposed electronics chamber in the lower half. 

You can handle an RGBA to Red to get that saber so its truly yours.

It looks like it belongs between my fighting Aeons.
