Looking for source for triangle LEDs-for Luke ROTJ

[Anakin Starkiller]

So, I am looking for a source for some triangle led's (red and green)to make a Luke ROTJ control box. I actually don't need then to be led's, just translucent plastic that is the right size and shape. I know that in the past when board members have done control boxes they have had these available. Where do these little parts come from?

Any help would be apreciated and would really assist an upcoming project. Thanks

You can always do what I did. If you have those old light-up hasbro sabers (Luke ROTJ and Vader), just cut out a small triangular section from one of the telescoping sections. Since the triangles are so small, you'll never even notice them missing from the sabers.

digikey.com part # P627-ND is a green 4 x 4.5mm triangle LED

P318-ND is a red one

Looks like they'll only sell in packages of 10 for about $2 a package. I've ordered from them several times and they are easy to work with. Good luck with your project! - I don't suppose this has to do with a run of a "Super accurate Luke ROTJ lightsaber kit"?

Yeah this is what I used when i build my first Luke ROTJ plasma saber with working led triangles. Hyperdyne helped me getting them to light up.

Here's the lnik to other traingle leds by Digi-key.
