**Knighthammer** · 02-24-2011, 09:42 AM

wow! - just wow!

**Sunrider** · 02-24-2011, 09:42 AM

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

**makototsai** · 02-24-2011, 06:41 PM

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

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

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

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 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~~
