FX lightsaber broken light

[Mandalorian_95 ()]

Hi, if the light from a FX lightsaber is broken at the middel of the blade, is it possible to buy a new blade without the hilt? If so, wich is more expansive a new lightsber or a new blade? Thanks!

the only way to fix it is to remove the old blade; install a bright LED in the hilt (so it shines out like a flashlight);
and then use an 'empty' blade to catch the light from your "flashlight" hilt.

they call this "converting" the saber.. from a stock force-FX , to a single-LED in the hilt.

it's usually cheaper to buy a new force-FX -- but there are advantages to the 'conversion' -- you can remove the blade and hang the hilt on your belt.


which lightsaber do you have? (character/episode)?

Thanks for the respond!
I have a 2010 Darth Vader Hasbro Fx lighstaber with removeble blade. So I already have the advantage to hang the hilt on my belt.

Is a single LED in the hilt + 'empty' blade more expansive than a new Fx lightsaber? Do you have any suggestions where I can buy those?

Thanks!
