    Default I read up on leds but all I see is

    "forget brightest and go with what you like", well thats a good idea but I dont know the differance between a 1w led and a 3w led.

    Becides I know with more watts things get brighter and hotter and what not.

    So for one wanting the full, ritch color all thru the blade would one go with a star3? As its has more lumens than the star/0 counterpart that is sold around.

    I love the fullness of the colors that ultras blades have so iam gonna go with his blades.

    Or is that just a white led?

    I plan on using the same eletronics for future sabers, so if I were to go with different colors like orange, yellow, guardian blue,purple(with filter), red.

    What should I use a 1 or 3 watt?

    Yeah but I read and seen a couple pics of ppl that used filters and the color dosent look right to me.

    I plan on sticking with one color per hilt.

    Don't trust photos.

    The eye and a camera don't always agree, especially when it comes to sabers.
    Read the Thread Index. because Lord Maul fixed it...

    I see, so for filters should I go with a 1 or 3 watt to get the best of the color?

    Iam gonna go email leefilters now and see about getting a numbered swatchbook.

    Sence I found the topic about it, took me about 5 days, lol.

    Thanks for the help folks.
