The Chameleon
« on: February 16, 2009, 09:16:25 PM »
Boy, am I glad I had a 3 day weeked this week. It gave me to have enough time to finally finish my first RGB saber. "The Chameleon". It uses MHS Parts, a Seoul 3.5w RGB LED, and a Master Replica Anakin Skywalker soundboard. This saber was a pain in the rear. But it was worth the hard work that I put into it. I achieved the purple I was looking for by adding a resistor to the Red and managed to get me a nice yellow as well. Too bad my camera doesn't pick up the yellow too well, but then again when to pictures ever do anything justice?

Here are some pictures:

Thanks for lookin'!

Me likey. I always have a thing for color changing lightsabers and this really is great. Just a question, how long is the saber?

The hilt is alittle over 12 inches. The blade is a 36 inch Ultra Saber midgrade blade.

I like the color changing, a lot!  Chameleon is a perfect name for a color-changing saber ;)

Without the resistor, you get a really pink magenta.....a little too girly for this fallen Jedi  ;)
