AC adapter / conversion?

[DrDQ]

Good morning,

I came upon your web site the other day, and I am very impressed with the beauty of your lightsabers. I was wondering if you might have an AC option for your sabers?

The reason I ask, I am getting ready to remodel a hallway at my place, and thought it would be very cool to install wall sconces that looked like lightsabers running up one (or) both sides of the hallway, say a different saber every 5 or 6 feet. The hallway would then be illuminated by a series of lit lightsabers running the length of the hall. I've found several places that make beautiful custom or replica sabers (including yours), but all of them are battery-powered and, at least so far, everyone has told me that converting their product to run off an AC adapter is impossible. Obviously I'm not suggesting soldering an AC plug to a battery spring and plugging it in, but certainly a custom AC adapter that provides the correct voltage necessary would work? I don't know why this would be conceptually impossible.

In any event, have you done anything like this in the past, or have you ever had any purchasers who have done this mod on their own?

Thanks!
DrDQ

Howdy Doc, and welcome.

Have you considered emailing Deep, the primary sabersmith at Ultrasabers?  He might be able to tell you better how to accomplish what you want.  [email protected]

I assume this is what you're going for?

Morning,

Ah, thank you for the email address. I will drop Deep a note and ask about this directly then.

And yes, something like that is the idea. Although I envisioned it a little more spread out. That is way cool, btw - yours?

Don't I wish it was mine - I think the wife might hurt me.  No, just something I happened to see while visiting a site I peruse now and again...

For those who might be interested, Emory wrote me privately and informed me that they are happy yo convert the hilts into AC-only versions for an additional $25 per saber. Of course, you lose the battery functionality and the ability to wave them around menacingly...
