I’m new to the build scene so forgive me if I don’t ask the right questions. Looking to upgrade my champion saber with the Igniter 2, I want a color-mixing LED, a second LED for the crystal chamber which mirrors the profile of the main, and a third LED dedicated to FoC/shimmer. Not sure which LEDs to get though, I was thinking NEC’s Z6 would be good for the main and crystal chamber LEDs and the Cree XP-E2 could be hooked up to an accent pad for shimmer/FoC. Can the Igniter 2 handle this?

Your FOC and blade effects can be handled by the main LED. The Igniter board will allow you to so all those things. For crystal chamber, if you want color changing, you'll want either a single RGB accent LED or wire 3 accent LEDs, one each of Red, green blue. You'd need to wire those in parallel with the main LED to get the same xolor.Mix as the blade. Now, depending on your saber, you may or may not have room for all that.
