    Are you still getting the "base flare" effect? Just the bottom of your blade illuminating well, and rapidly getting dimmer along the blade length? If so, you may need to change your optics and/or add some diffuser to your blade.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    I finally came back to this. I ended up buying a blue rebel star as apposed to the royal blue that I had in it because its supposed to be a little brighter, and the lens is the 8.7 deg lens from the saber shop. Think a 5 degree lens would make a difference?

    not really. I've use both in the past, and there is no difference, aside from how well they fit in the holders. Stick with the 8.7.

    Got a question? Start Here. Have you tried the Thread Index yet? Most questions can be answered there.

    Guess all I can do at this point is get a better blade. I'm about to get an enhanced day blade from vaders vault, see how that turns out.
