VERY happy to see a thread for this, since I was thinking of doing this exact thing.
(I mean, 30 bucks for a pretty damn good base? I'm sold)
I'm not sure how possible it is since I don't have my hands on one yet but, I was thinking of going and modding the emitter so that it could fit a typical 1in OD blade (Im assuming just finding a way to seat a 1in ID coupler where the current emmitter is?) and better vent blades. It's not like I need it to be that strong since Im never gonna be dueling with it, but enough that a better main LED setup would be good for, like for cosplay purposes
