White + Filters.

Generally if its not a normal lux color like red, red orange, blue, green, cyan, or white its white + a filter for desired colors. or a RGB with pots.

Thats the saber I made for my daughter, I used a K2 white electronics kit and the pink color disk from the set tim sells in the store.

*giggles*..mmmhrrm, daughter, eh? Sure... (jk)...

I concur with the above:
- White with filters - the ones sold here include some pinks
- joe jedi rgb, but hard-wired for just R and B, the R is a tad brighter = also making a definite pink

I used to have a magenta filtered blade in my saber, but most people called it pink (or hot pink). It was a white Lux III and a magenta gel filter from Rosco.

Here's an old pic I have of it. It's not the greatest, and it's the only one I had uploaded that I could share right now.

I have since changed it out for a green blade but if you want to pm me your email address, I can email you a few better pictures back.

i would go RGB LED cuz if she is a girly girl she will prolly love to have baby blue and whatever other colors that u can come up with... u said u have a year so might as well read all the diagrams on how to make the multi colors with the RGB cuz in a year from now she mite want a diff color


if u just want pink do the filters it will get the job done and she will be happy witch is all that matters in the end

May The Force Be With You

Just adding my $.02 here.

This is a Seoul P4 white, with a circle of red plastic cut from the box my Hasbro Vader came in.

I was hoping it would be red. My wife took one look and said in a sing-song voice, "Darren has a girlie saber".

WOW! talk about luck.....HMMMMM I am thinking about redoing my kids sabers.......

Just for the record:
I HAVE made a pink saber.
It was for MY DAUGHTER.
SHE is ALMOST 6.

here's one i just built for my daughter, it's a lux K2 white with a pink disk from TCSS. I have lee filters, but this disc gave me the best overall color.
