To X-wingband, you listen! Even a double wrap of Corbin and about 3-4 feet of polyp will make that 3/4" blade really pop!

Got a question? Start Here. Have you tried the Thread Index yet? Most questions can be answered there.
im going to try some cellophane this weekend and see what kind of a difference it makes. prob order some corbin film as well
a wise man once said "dont try to be a great man....just be a man"
I can vouch for the cellophane/Corbin film combo. It made a huge difference in the brightness, and evenness of my blade. I'll see if I have any old and new photos I can post for comparison.
Looks like Mako here didn't "toss" any LED strings, heheh...
...well, he MADE 'em!

The video was cool...wish I understood chinese, though! Something sounded funny towards the end there!
I dom't mean to de-rail this, but he's got a few interesting threads over at the rebellegion.com:

Jay, those threads are from Mako too so they apply a lot. They may not be as bright as you think either... I've taken sabers out in daylight. If I go out when the sun just hits the tree tops I can see the blade really well, but it's still daytime even on vids.
I imagine they're fragile though. They aren't even PCB'ed like the MR's.

In the middle of this video he has a saber change from blue to red! Did you catch that? Cool!

Is this guy really off on his own making sabers with his own creativity and work? Very cool!

Yeah, he did make an RGB one. It's the same method, but he used a large rotary switch to change which legs the power is flowing to.

Yup, I've talked to him a bit... and yes, they are brighter than the MRs. I don't remember what he was doing power-wise, but compared to MRs, they are brighter. Maybe like Hypers, I have no idea.
He has a comparison video on his ID somewhere...
