I really wanted to make a custom saber for myself that lights up. I decided to go simple this time. This lightsaber has three high brightness LEDs for lighting. In future I want to buy a kit and make a neopixel, but this isn't bad for now. I want the blade to be very secure so it is not removable, I made a second saber without the blade as a belt hanger.
I wanted to get a good picture of it all lit up so I built a four foot by two foot section of death star wall out of plywood. There is no photoshop in the image, that's how it all looked to the camera. All in all I'm pretty happy with the "money shot" picture. Take a look and let me know what you think.
