colored filter on the mirrored tip

**dbraxton9** · 01-01-2006, 09:24 PM

has anyone tried putting the colored filter disk on the mirrored tip to make a 2-tone lightsaber? like maybe a blue LED with a yellow filter to fade into green along the length of the blade? maybe a yellow LED with a red filtered tip to look like fire? maybe a red blade with a blue filter tip to make a sunset purple color? and of course, the white led with any colored tip?
just an idea, let me know what you think.

Its definitly worth trying. I dont know if someones already done it, but if not I will give it a try when my order gets in and take pics to show everyone.

I did my experimenting with this, and as guessed it does change the color but only in like the last 3-4" of the blade-not evenly throughout. I have pics of a yellow blade with a blue tip an white blade with blue tip. I will post them as soon as I get them into the computer-(having some trouble with that).

Please refer here to see pics-dont want to double post them. And in my opinion it looked cool but I didnt like it enough to put it in mine because it only mixes the colors in the tip- now if it met in the midle that would be something!

thank you so much!
Wonderful pics, very very helpful.
Did you use a white LED with filters on the emitter end or did you use a blue LED? the amount of color change in your pics encourages me to keep trying at this as it is so unique. I think a blue LED with a red filtered tip would produce the "sunset saber" effect I have in mind.

Yes, white LED with color discs.

Where do you guys get the mirrored tips? I used some metal tape, and it doesn't actually equalize the blade light color uniformity well.[?]

I got mine in the craft section at Walmart- little package of all different diameters with some that fit just right.
