I use my sabers for cosplays and dueling, and I am in need of a new blade and saw that TCSS has colored blades. I currently own a red LED saber and one white LED saber, and I'm thinking purple for my next saber. I'm looking at the 1" thick-walled colored sabers even though I know TCSS has purple for their 1" thin-walled, but I want something that can withstand duels easily. A single blue or red LED costs less than an LED setup that allows me to get a purple light, so if someone can answer my questions, that'll be very helpful.

Would a blue blade + red LED result in a purple-looking blade?

What does red blade + blue LED appear as?

What about red blade + white LED + blue filter / blue blade + white LED + red filter?

How do these colored blades look without blade film inside them?

What exactly is blade diffuser used for? Does it have the same effect as blade film?


Thanks in advance!
