Title: light up power on / off button Post by: jcm007 on October 08, 2012, 07:41:13 PM For my next saber I thought it would be cool to have one of the light up power buttons that shone in the same colour as what ever colour beam I select. What part do I order? To get them to install that instead of the stock switch
Thanks John Title: Re: light up power on / off button Post by: Darth Servius on October 08, 2012, 08:14:34 PM It's under the Sound section when choosing you're saber your saber. Just select Obsidian USB sound with either Red, Green, or Blue AV (which stands for Anti-Vandal) switch. Red, Green, or Blue are the only colors you can choose from, or you can get a non-illuminated AV switch which is what some people do when they get an off color like violet, orange, yellow etc.

CG = Green SRD = Green AB = Blue GB = Blue AS = any color BR = Red FO = Red VA = Red DVA = Blue BH = Red PO = Red EG = Green SY = Green Title: Re: light up power on / off button Post by: RogueLieutenant on October 08, 2012, 08:43:11 PM I've seen the switches and they look cool. (don't have one on mine though) but I've never understood why they're called Anti Vandal. Can someone explain that to me?

If you look at the guarded switches, the button is surrounded by a guard to perform the same function. The AV switch is easier to touch and has a more flush profile. I like them on silver hilts for consistency.

I like them on silver hilts for consistency. couldn't have explained it better So quite literally, they prevent vandalism. Just the way i like to think of it :) Title: Re: light up power on / off button Post by: temu on October 10, 2012, 12:12:23 AM I'm working on learning enough to build a saber.. once comfortable.. i have a nice purple anti-vandal switch to go with a nice Dark purple setting from my RGB.
