Question on Makoto Sabers
I currently own an in hilt LED saber, I fight entirely one handed I prefer fighting with the lighter thin walled blades as opposed to the thick walled but I can work fine with either. My question being I would really like to purchase a Makoto saber but I'm wondering how heavy they feel compared to the in hilt LED sabers, also weather Makoto uses thick or thin walled blades and lastly, I know makoto recommends a v3 for dueling but im wondering if a v3 plus is still fine for dueling, or is it much more cumbersome? Any Information would help If I messed anything up on this post sorry, I'm new to this forum and forums in general. Thank you

His sabers are pretty sweet man! very durable indeed! (the v3 at least) you should be even okay with the v3 plus even. His blades are poly-carbonate but they are thin walled, probably a bit thinner than what is supplied in the shop... BUT it's also much larger in diameter. Inside the actual blade is the foam that acts as a diffuser and protection for the LED strings, and trust me it does the job very well haha with that said... i have dueled pretty hard with my makoto and the blade has only cracked and broken once on the very end where the blade tip was... easy fix though and now it's been good as new for years now. They are great sabers with smaller diameter hilts, nice-simple designs, feels good in the hands. the balance is decent as well!
BUT... I personally feel that these days a tri cree/rebel saber powered correctly with a good blade can be just as evenly lit and still super bright, and even more durable. good luck man!

So in your opinion a 10w tri cree will be as bright as a v3? Also any note on if the V3 plus is really much heavier than the v3?
Thank you by the way!

I was looking to make a white saber and I was just looking on the luxeon site I guess they have quad led's would that be terrible hard to wire myself?

It depends on what you're wiring it to...

Yeah, that's not going to work. An 18650 doesn't have that much juice to run 4 dice, and the NB's only put out 2 Amps. You MAY be able to pull enough to run the third die using a PEX, and some creative wiring, but 4 dice isn't going to happen.
