I have a mace windu saber,....but I don't like it much. I decided to convert it from purple to orange. I already have taken it apart, now I just need to figure out the size of the bulbs before I start replacing all 63 LED's (lot's of soldering). I just thought I'd share before I complete it.

Do Master Replicas really have BULBS in them? The screw kind, or are they just the diodes with two little terminal thingies?
How will you rip them all out?
I always thought those light sabers had those Electroluminescent (EL) tubes in them... take some pictures I am really curious to see what is inside!
Take pictures of the whole process if you can!

I'd be interested to see pics, too! Good luck with making it orange. Orange is cool, like this guy. >

LED bulbs are 2 terminal type. Remember there are 63 of them in there so they need to be small. I got this from an eBay auction (that I'm still debating bidding on) that has 14 of the LED holders for sale. This is a guy who sell modified MR's, but it has a good photo of the LED holder. I'll get some more photos of what I'm doing, but I'm leaving for San Francisco in a few hours, so it will probably be Mon. before I show you all the screws I took out of the saber.

I found out that they were making an Obi-Wan Kenobi FX lightsaber. It is open to buy now and will begin shipping this summer.
