Triangle LED - Luke ROTJ Hero style - Anyone know of a source for them?

I planned on using pastorjedi's acrylic arrows, drill holes where the triangles go, and place the red and green leds inside the control box. Glue the acrylic arrows on top of the holes, so now the leds inside the box aluminate the arrows

I don't have any experience doing this, but when the time comes this is my plan. Since it's impossible to find the correct led triangles

Thanks Guys! I wish PastorJedi's arrows were a little taller, it'd be nice if they were able to recess into the control box and extend out from it and be lit from behind!

Hey Psab keel ! Have you tried to sand the KRSabers' ones? Again, it doesn't look like you'd be able to take off enough material to make them fit based on the blueprint of the bulbs.

I haven't sanded the KR sabers LEDS but they look as though there may be enough meat on them to get them down to the size you want. I used to file down LEDS for early saber projects and you'd be surprised how close to the leads you can get and still have the LED function.
 
I forgot that I have some LDM LEDS too if you guys want to buy them off me. Just PM me your full name and full mailing address and I'll get you a total with shipping. FYI if I don't get back to you right away please be patient because my Internet keeps cutting out. Thanks.
 
Hey Psab keel ! Pics and specs if you would please! I couldn't find the Arrow LEDs on LDM's site yesterday and would like to see what they look like.

He doesn't list them on his site but I contacted him and he was kind enough to sell me two pairs. Here are a few shots of them with a ruler so you can get an idea of the dimensions:

What the data sheet doesn't show, and that your AWESOME photos do show, is that the LED's Anvil and Post are way down in the bottom of the head and can totally be filed without worry of harming the LED!!!



This one from Panasonic (LNG312GKG) might work too, though the static color of the plastic appears to be off and it's only available in Green with Yellow-Green listed as its "Lighting Color"(though I don't know if that's a category from Panasonic, or if it's supposed to be the color Panasonic says it illuminates as) :( ...

These work for a elstree reveal. But the triangles on the original have sides of all equal length. These do not.
It's a really hard part to find. I've looked high and low myself
 
I think I got mine off eBay, but man, that was a long time ago. I wonder who has my saber now, lol...

Hey Gang! I finally bought one of the Panasonic (LNG312GKG)Triangle LEDs from Digikey.

Size-wise, it's not bad, the Anvil and Post are down far enough that you could sand it down to an equilateral triangle without worry, but the color is definitely Yellow-Green (chartreuse).

Here are some pics for ya...
