After looking for a new blade film idea over the past month, I've found this:

It looks mettalic, its tinted black, which *might* cut out some of the light, but theres no harm in trying, I was thinking of 4 foot of it and 4 foot of clear cellophane...

What do you guys think?

How would the tinting help? I don't see a benefit.

Possibly more reflective, I'm ordering some so there will be pics :)

And as for plan B:

That second one might have a peel and stick adhesive to make it stick to the window. You might want to check that out before you spend your money.

Thats what I was thinking, but on the other hand, I could just stick some cellophane over the adhesive

Let us know how it works in comparison. I would expect non-tinted to be better, since any light lost in a filter usually means your blade is not as bright. But hey, weird stuff happens sometimes.

Am trying stuff from local signmakers. Will post pics of that when I can. Maliki, keep us updated on this as it intrigues me....


Be great if we can get something that'd tweak our blades abit this side of the pond.

Are you trying to create a 'darksaber'/'blacksaber' with this dark tint film???

What if you used a colored celophane as blade film with a p4 or somthing like that?

That's been tried by several members already, and got dismal results every time.

Yep, the only benefit is if you use red... some people that are into costuming like the fact that the blade is colored for daytime pictures and they say red works well for that. You will always get better color/brightness out of a colored LED vs. a filter or colored blade film.

Yeah someone posted a pic of Revan, Visas and Nihilus with coloured film blades and even unlit in daylight they looked nice...those were all red though.
