- Cut the heat sink to a length of 0.4"
- Glue the luxeon with the heat conductive glue on the heat sink
Picture 1
- Solder two wires with a length of 2" each on the negative and positive pole of the LED
Picture 2
- Plug the lens into the lensholder and fix both with heat conductive glue on the LED

- Now drill a small hole trough the
both halfes of the body and the aluminium tubes, where those shall be bold down
Picture 6
- After this furnish both halfes with deepenings, where the holes are situated.
It is important that the screw heads are flush with each half. Otherwise the holder will not fit in the hilt
