I've never had a lightsaber so I have no experience with anything.

Are the skinny strip neopixels good enough for use indoors with curtained windows? Or should I use the normal strips as I've read that the skinny strips eliminate shadows? What are the shadows and are they really bad?

I've seen youtube videos on how to build the neopixel blade and how to solder the blade to this metal disk that goes at the bottom of the tube. If I buy a hilt that is built for Neopixel, will I be able to just plug it in and use it? The only length offered from the website is a 32 inch neopixel and I'm wanting a 34 inch enhanced day blade, hence why I'm making my own. Will it not work if I just put it in? Would it require adjustment via programming?
I assume if the website I'm buying from uses skinny strips I'll be forced to use skinny strips? Their neopixel hilt option only comes with a neopixel adapter, whatever that means.
