LED blade question

[Jedi Magus]

I was thinking, I have used Solid core, side light, fibre optic cable before. I know it comes in 3/4".

I was thinking it might make a good blade, by running the solid core in a Poly C tube like the EL blades, but with a good LED underneath.

The end LED/Optic cable holder might be a bit hard.

The cable i used was with a BIG projector box to run it, with Halogen lamps for use in a night club.

Has anyone Played with this idea?
Just wondering, because i cant afford to make one just to test it right now.

Im so confused by all the LED VS. EL VS. power VS. brightness, discussions going around, I just want a good and bright blade.

You ought to read the lightsabre blade forum over at ASAP . It has tons of stuff that people have tried before.

From what I recall it has been tried and doesnt really work as even the most powerful luxeon led doesnt light up the cable far enough.
