[Azmaria Dei]

goodness... that's just insane! and you can still see ok?

[Knighthammer]

wow! - just wow!

[Sunrider]

Wow. How much power does the V4 use it must be 3 or 4 amps at 3.5v?

[makototsai]

it is feel uncomfortable wjen you see the v4 saber. really brightest....

the current is about 4.8A with 3.6V(18650*2)..

[Sunrider]

Wohoo I thought as much. I would be great to compair the V4 to a SSR90. I think it would be close in brightness. :)

[makototsai]

the v4 blade is finish...(work all day and night again~XD...)

usual MTKK-ULS-V3 MAKOTO'S saber is 350 Lux,
but the V4 saber is 1400~1500Lux.

Next step is build the SuperONE V4 and the prototype complete saber.

The V4 prototype complete saber---> I call [ Super V4 ]

the length of hilt is about 330mm (about 12.9"), because there are 2 18650 in hilt~XD~~
The brightness of V4 that is 400~450% then usual V3....even it is very very very difficult to build.
It is deserve of my hard-working~XD~~

[IndustrialAction]

Holy crap! Now I'm all for a bright blade but man, you need sunglasses to look at that! Amazing work!

Now make me one in cyan? ;)

J/k

[jin starkiller]
