flashing leds on the cheap

[Relan Tarel jedi kinght]

Ok so we all like the flashing leds in the pommel right. I don't have all the stuff to do it right, yet. So..... I got bord and started playing around with some junk I had laying around. Here's what I came up with. I found the little led and battery pack that came out of one those light up squish balls and a Rivit backing

Also you can see I replaced the covertech knob with a belt clip (also temporary) Untill I can get the right one maby a nice b ass or copper d-ring

That is awesome, man! Fantastic idea re-appropriating non-saber parts into effective ones! Please accept a point for your troubles!

that looks about the same as the bllinking pcb i been using from led blinky rings, they really can be used for quite a few things. Currently working on a permanent lockup mod using one of these babies let u know my results when i get done

Right-on ninja, I've also concitered jow to make it perment seeing as it has its own power sorce ( 3 small watch batteries ) the wiring wouldent be the problem its figuring out the right resistors. And then deciding if I want to make it a constant flash or keep it as is ( contact activates flash)

Just found a cheap flashing Red LED at Radio Shack for 5 bucks, just cut the batter pack off and add a DynaOhm resistor and you have yourself 7 dollar blinking LED.  The LED is also 20mA so the DynaOhm works perfect.
