Long story short, I supported ASP way back when it was on Kickstarter, but I only chose the old $150 tier at the time since I didn't have enough money at the time for a full fledged saber, figuring I could hopefully buy the electronics to put in it later cheaply. So I have the basic saber components (hilt, emitter, etc). Fastforward to now, and I'm browsing the store and half kicking myself because 1. I don't know what I need to get stuff to work, and 2. Prices look a lot higher than what I figured they'd be
Basically, what I want for my lightsaber are lights for sure, sound would be nice, rumble I don't care about since I don't plan on beating anyone with it, but at the same time I wouldn't necessarily want to add sound or rumble unless it's cheap (which doesn't look like the case). So in browsing the store, I'm guessing I would need at least these three items to get lights going along with a battery:

https://saberforge.com/collections/plug-play-electronics/products/aspswitch?variant=34947230282
But that wouldn't give me a led color for my lightsaber though would it? That would just basically make it a glorified flashlight, in which case what would I need instead? I have a blade that I got as a preorder, but it's just a clear one.
If I want lights and sound, I guess I would need - https://saberforge.com/collections/plug-play-electronics/products/champsled?variant=34947221322 - instead of that stunt one along with the switch and led? Which is kinda the whole more than I want to spend tbh.
So yeah lesson learned, next time starve a bit more and get a more complete package I guess. But if anyone has some help or guidance that would be great, I am 100% not an electronics person so that's why I'm looking more at the PnP over the raw parts that I wouldn't have a clue how to get working without probably electrocuting myself somewhere. Thanks for any advice!
