Hello all,

What can i do in order to change the color of my saber from fire orange.
send it back to ultrasabers is out of question.

I can do any electrical changes inside the saber if needed. links to compatible LEDs products also will do for me.

please help  Cry

Which hilt do you have? Its pretty simple to order an Led module with quick disconnects and change the Led module yourself. You will just need a soldering iron.

 I have a v3 dominex that started as blue, but is now red, and also have a green module for it.

Depending on which hilt you're running,

And while I can't link to other shops, these heatsinks will take just about any LED mounted to a 20mm star.

You get orange by mixing red and green light, so at the very least you have the option of re-soldering the wires to give you either a red or a green blade.

My understanding is that all mixed colours are produced using an RGB LED unit, so you may also be able to change the wires over to get purple (equal red and blue), pink (red and resistored blue), blue, light blue (blue and green) and so on.

I did this with a purple 'sabre I had to get pink - http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=17749.0 for some details.

Otherwise you can order a replacement LED module, as Wolfknight and Kouri say, and wire it in yourself.

Fire Orange isn't one of the premium/mixed colors. I've never seen it in-person, but I think it's made with a single Cree Red-Orange or Amber LED unit.

Ignore me, then - a replacement LED will be necessary. Thanks for the catch, Kouri!
