Most impressive. I imagine full brightness would be difficult to capture properly on camera.

We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

Did I ever mention that looking at your work is my happy place?

HALF? Any brighter and it's going to cut through steel just like a real lightsaber....
In fact I think you're lying to us, that's not no LED string, I see you've constructed a new lightsaber!
The lightsaber hilt is capable of producing a blade of pure energy. The lightsaber hilt has proven to be completely safe. The saber blade however has not. Do not touch the operational end of the saber blade. Do not look directly at the operational end of the saber blade. Do not immerse the saber blade into your flesh, not even partially.
This is about an 1/8 second exposure of a stock Hasbro/MR Obi AOTC Force FX saber with fresh Energizer batteries.
This is the same exposure, with the CF-LS on setting 400 out of 511. The camera doesn't quite do it justice, it's slightly painful to look at the CFLS blade in my office at night. In real life, you almost can't tell the Hasbro/MR Obi is even on.
This pic is closer to what my eye actually sees when I look at the CFLS. The Hasbro is not as bright to my eye in this pic, but you can really tell the difference in the two blades by looking at the reflection underneath them. The REFLECTION of the CFLS blade on the leather couch is as almost as bright as the BLADE of the hasbro.
I was able to shorten the scroll by setting it to 200. I assume that's 200 milliseconds per segment.

HOLY BLINDNESS, slothMAN! That is amazing. Take that puppy out in broad daylight to see how visible it is?

This is at 80% of full power, volume of 2 out of 4.
I really don't think I need to make it any brighter. My camera SERIOUSLY hates it, it auto dims to black almost. I have no idea if I can lock the exposure for a truly good recording, but you can see how bright it is on ignition.
