Howdy all,
Lately I've been playing around with the 7/8 blades from TCSS. Any one else?
At first I was not really convinced. I did a lot with 3/4 blades and was mostly disappointed every time. So I went with 1" transwhite, which I really like and am still a big fan of. So I purchased my first stock of 7/8 not long ago and built a couple of them in different lengths.
First I did my standard 34"(32 installed) and I was very happy with the effect. So I went up to 36" (34" installed) and found (MO) that the 7/8 blades with diffuser in them really push the lite the full length of the blade.
Here's some of what I was talking about. Both blades have exactly the same amount of diffuser in them. I measured each piece of diffuser the same for both blades.
First up the 7/8 transwhite blade, cut to 34" (32 installed) with a Green Rebel LED.
Next the 1" transwhite blade, cut to 34" (32 installed) using the same hilt and LED.
To me at first they appeared the same. But on further inspection of the 1" blade I noticed a bit of a dimming effect near the middle. Where on the 7/8 I found that it was solid all the way across. Of course this could be just my eyes. Also I'm still doing a bit more testing
But I thought it would be interesting to see if anyone had any thoughts on this.
