im still using the stock mr blade in my converted ani, ive only had the time to rewire for the lux 3, but im wanting to keep the rounded blade tip look. i havent put the mirror in the end of the blade yet so light still goes all the way into the tip of the polyc which i think looks better, anyone know a trick to keep this effect with the new blade when i finally get around to upgrading the blade and emitter?

Well if you are using a mirror you can scratch or sand off some of the reflective material on the back of the mirror. This will allow some of the light to pass through the glass and light up the tip. If you are going for a new polycarb blade I would suggest getting the shouldered tip sold in the store along with the 3/4" aluminium adhesive disk. With the smaller disk will allow light to pass around it and light up the tip. It works very well.

You made a punny. I love those.

Mcd is right on JJ. I have a few of the TCSS blades with the smaller reflector and the tip lights up nice with out the worry of flashing someone. I admit I still prefer it the old way for doing a (dare I say it) kids saber. Other then that though and I am all for the smaller piece.
