Tim's complete blade doesn't fix the dim issue. The blade he has on the page has it but it is hard to tell because of the color. If you look closely the core stops and starts again before the tip.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
Maybe that's why he used that color...

is it possible to have a graduated diffuser? one that has less opacity near the end?

Hey that was my idea...

X-wing,
Yes, this mirror fits perfectly into the polyC. And I dont think that all of the things for tips that have been tried, that bloomed, were because of misalignment. But I do think a great deal of them did because of it. It just hit me as one of those "OOOHHHH" moments when I tried to remove the mirror and got that typical bloom I saw in lots of pics online and most of my own experiments. And at first when I put the mirror into the diffused tip (saber not on) I turned it on and thought that it didnt do anything, the whole blade looked the same. Then, OH, wait a minute the WHOLE BLADE LOOKS THE SAME---WOOO HOOOO! I then removed the mirror (noticing the bloom) and realized how much more dull the tip was without it.
The mirrors are not hugely thick, but they fit so nicely into the polyc that they have no choice but to fit in line with the tube. And the fact that they only cover the diffuser end and not any polyc I think helps out by only putting light back down the diffuser only. Light can easily escape the polyc but most of it just bounces around in the diffuser.

Yup, thats the right package of mirrors. There are a few in there that fit perfectly.

When I built my first LED blade, I installed a 3/4" mirror. It fit perfectly. Yes, the entire blade was very evenly lit, but the tip ended in a black "cut-off". I didn't like that look, so I removed the mirror.
I guess this 'mirror-in-the-tip' issue is going to boil down to personal preference.
