Hello everyone,
A while ago (March) Tomenosuke offered a relativly expensive solution for the "problem" that the Green LED's on the Tomenosuke Blaster don't light up (which is ok since they never light up in the Blade Runner Movies. Those official Tomenosuke Units were sold out in minutes (also they only offered 20 pieces) which given the high demand is just odd. So many owners just want their green LED's to light up on their blasters or even use other Colors, the wiring and cable job on this is hard to do and if you don't have quiet hands you will struggle to do so. Also there is the problem of connecting it to a battery. Oddly enough however Tomenosuke themself posted this on a commeng on their own Facebook page:
I did a little research on where to buy those fishing lights and at first i only found ebay listings for 35+ $ for ONE of those lights, which would make 70 for 2 plus shipping. "Ughh" i thought to myself after all Tomenosuke did not overprice those units so much. But hold on, hold on, i found a store where the lights are relativly inexpensive (4,05€ a piece) plus shipping. Which is about 20 Euros to Germany at least.
Just search for Milight 316G Mini LED Green on their site. So i ordered 6 of them, and will replace the LED lights on the Tomenosuke and my 3D Printed one. The Store (i don't really know if I'm allowed to post links here...) is called hobbylink japan and they ship worldwide. The lights are also available in different colors (red, green, blue, yellow...) just look them up. I ordered a bunch of them and will post my experience with them, how they fit, work and generally if they are worth the effort. And maybe this helps out a bunch of people on the forum. What i find odd though is that Tomenosuke gives the advice themselves. Why would they do so when they can make a shitton of money selling their lightning rods?
Cheers,
