Figured I'd get this part of my maglight tonfa build into the right section. I'm going to be running 16 inch blades and am trying to reach a deep purple (non U.V. because it'll light up any lint on my robes). My big issue is that many sabers seem to have the color washed out during the first foot and the truest color seems to be mid blade (from pics on this and other sites). With such short blades I'm afraid I'tll lose most of the color and just be bright overall. the washout I mean is like this pic

I've been looking at the Luxeon tri-rebel R/B/W so later I can do a white clash effect with them as well. This means I don't have to change everything later when I upgrade from just light, which would be ideal. Would a purple color disk or two dim the tri-rebel enough and give it a deeper hue? I doubt many have this short of a blade so I know any experience would come from people using other colors, and likely primary not mixed, but anything helps. I gotta buy it a piece at a time (well pair of pieces since it's a pair of sabers) so I gotta get it right.
Thanks in advance
