I'm tapping the collective hive mind of this forum for this. I already have a 6w deep blue LED module on order and I'm already looking at getting a 12w in a second color for more variety for a saber that I haven't even built yet. Sadly money isn't as free as I'd like otherwise I'd just order all of them. Right now the front runners for me are Lime, Blood Orange, and Amber. Pictures are highly encouraged. Especially pictures of colors that I haven't listed here as the pictures on the site don't always capture it. However, pictures of the listed colors are always welcome too.

I ordered a 12 watt yellow led, for exactly the same reason as you. The reason I ordered the yellow was because it consists of amber and green LEDs. I separated the negatives, wired and extra switch, and now have miktoole colors on one hilt for the cost of an led and a couple bucks for a switch. I've been thinking of scouring the internet to see what I can find in small three wire quick disconnects. Then I'll leave the wiring the same, buy more LEDs, and have tons of options. The two photos are both colors obtained from a yeow 12 watt led module. Resistors removed, negatives separated.

My brother has an Amber 12W champion Guardian and I love this color! I never believed that this color was gonna come out the way it did! On pictures it looks more like a yellow, but when you hold it in you hand, there's no place for doubt: It is Orange!

I didn't think I would like the amber, but the more I see it, the more I want it.

I agree. I'm really digging the amber. And now it turns out that I'm probably going to have to build a pink one too for my god-daughter for her birthday.

Have you considered quick connects?

I'm doing quick disconnects for pretty much everything that I can get away with. I have several JST connections on their way already and I'm planning on buying just the plain connectors and a crimp tool to make my own since it's obvious that I'm making at least 2 more sabers.
