Duke Level 3A for C. Adams

Duke Level 3A for C. Adams

This is the very first of my Duke installs.  It is the Level 3A (CSv2, no FoC) trim level.  I went ahead and made the trigger functional (on/off) with the Aux switch hidden next to the CT wheel, but other than that the install is exactly the same as the Dark Duke Concept (which was the POC install for all Dukes).  Very bright, the final venting configuration makes them nice and loud as well (much better than the original POC).  Enjoy.

Particulars:
Duke Hilt
Machined Venting
CSv2 w/Sekrogue's Dooku Remastered
3W Red blade
20mm 1W 8O speaker w/~1cm resonance
3.7V Li-ion, 2.1mm recharge port inside pommel (remove to charge)
Custom Duke Optics module

It is not how I personally prefer it because it is not as sturdy that way, but these Dukes are clearly not 'duelers' anyways so I figured,"why not?"  :))

OMG that is exactly where I want to be putting my activation switch (the red trigger) lol. When my Duke is ready for install, I may have to send you PM lol.

Love what you have done with the saber, I love the Dooku saber anyway so I suppose I am always a little bias when I see one lol. Great job as always GG :)

I  gotta say, those 3W reds that LDM uses are AWESOME! Brighter than a Tri rebel doubled up, and more evenly lit. I really was impressed. Nice one Marc!!!

They are a very solid Red LED.  I really like having a 3W/die RGB that I can use for FoC sabers and provides legitimate brightness.  I don't hate RRx Tri-Rebs, but this is a more flexible option that costs me a few $ less per LED.  Heck, I did one with a blue blade the other day and nearly blinded myself, lol.

Very cool, and I echo all the others on the trigger activation.  I wouldn't be dueling with this saber either :)
