I purchased this hilt with green LEDs. (part of a bulk hilt purchase) One of the exhaust ports stopped working a while back, one of the wires had been severed. I disassembled and repaired. Today I wanted to see what kind of LEDs were in it so I could order new red LEDs. I noticed the exhaust port LEDs had a negative post on the circuit board and three other posts each labels R+, G+ and B+. The positive wire is soldered to the G+ post. I resoldered it to the R+ theorizing it would change to Red. It worked. I then did this to the other exhaust port LED. Powered it on and the 2nd LED does not work. I thought I might have damaged it during soldering but wanted to make sure it wasn't a wiring issue somewhere. Multimeter showed voltage to the working LED at right at 2 VDC, the nonworking LED was above 6 VDC on the contacts on the board...so I know it is getting power however I am not sure why it is a different voltage from the power pack. The power pack is 2 AA 3.7 volt Li-ions.
Now...full disclosure...I can solder...can use a voltmeter...I understand basic wiring and circuitry...however when it comes to resisters, ohms and all that...I know zero.
Onto the main blade LED. I thought this was going to be a simple thing to find but not quite. It is a A007 Luxdrive. I found the red variant of the LED. Model is A007-ERED0-N2 however I have yet to find an online source to be able to just add to cart. I checked Ultrasabers site under parts, the only thing I can find is are the MLS module and the regular LED module, would either of these work?
As a reference
this is what is now in the hilt for the main blade.
TIA,
Ron
