Like the title says, is it possible to change / replace /swap out the LED unit in a pre-assembled saber?
And no, it's not a quick connect type of LED.
But before anybody replies, I know that I can return the saber for repair, but I honestly don't want to have to wait another week or two for that to happen since customer service hasn't replied to my e-mail yet.
I also know that my saber hilt (Bastion; champion tier w/ Viridian sound) has its LED unit (?) held in place by a set screw, towards the bottom of the emitter, just below the blade set screw.
I realize any type of mod will void my warranty, but the LED that it came with (not sure what type it is) gets VERY HOT (posted about this issue already here in 'Open Topics") but I'd like to have a bright, single color, purple LED installed in it.
I'm also not sure about what sort of optional LEDs there are and I don't want to buy one from SF.
If it's possible, how difficult would it be to swap it out for another LED but one that doesn't make most of the hilt, very hot? (in-between the bottom of the blade set screw and down to the recharge jack)
I honestly don't know if it will resolve the issue or if another, just as bright, LED type would even work and if it would remedy the heat issue.
Has anybody attempted and succeeded in doing something like this?
