I have converted 3 and no I didn't. I have heard people using them for diff stuff but I don't have the patience. I did keep one blade for my kids, put some wires on, hot glued the bottom of the blade (so the led strip didn't fall out) added the switch, batt pack and stuck it into a broken maul hilt I had. they love it, but was a bit heavy. I am working on makeing them pvc led hilts.

Here's my list of converts:
Vader EpV - 3w Red Lux
Luke EpVI - 3w Green Lux
Anakin EpIII - 3w Silver Lux
double Maul EpI - 3w Silver Lux
Done by Ultrasabers. I like the Vader, though I need a new bored. The Luke is kind of washed out, needs a mirrored blade. The silver ones I am not happy with. Ultra did a great job on them, but I personally don't like the filtered light. It's very washed out, and adding more filters to bump the color up a little only darkens the middle of the blade. I'm considering Hyperdyne and Plector Labs right now to fix the Anakin, then the rest down the road for total conversions.
My sabers did not return with my LED strip, which I don't want anyways...no use with all the busted LEDs...

Cyr Drakis is you go over to thecustomsabershop.com and go thru there tutoreals you can take the hilt apart and replace the led with a color other than a white led.

I'm going to be 15 min from Ultrasabers when I go to school in Tempe, AZ in August, no sense busting I disagree on it no when I can just use my Obi-Wan for now. Also, I think the board is busted because the sound doesn't work anymore.

Take the battery pack out and see if the batteries are not set in place all teh way. the contact pins also play a role in the sound going out also.
sometimes ya just need to take the pack out and put it back in or take a piece of oring to push the battery pack down more so it gets the full contact.
