    Try lighting up a clear polycarbonate tube without a form of diffusion and you WILL.

    Novastar is as usual, correct....without a diffuser, the blade will only light up at the bottom and will, in effect, look like the toy hasbro blades....

    There are many diffuser types, most of which go inside the blade.

    In general--take your TIME learning about sabers... nothing much will happen overnight. A lot of it is about research, reading... study, experimentation. And really, just the two ways there are to learn: experience and enlightenment.

    Not even that in my experience. When I tried it the only parts of the blade that lit up were the tip and any little nick or dust speck in the blade that caught the light. It provided the best ambient glow of any diffuser though
