hey,
I just completed my conversion on my ESB force fx...it is now an EP3 Force Fx modified with luxeon 3 star white...well i had an issue...during a troop my blade looked very dull and almost white!...and at one troop where it was in a darker area i looked like a was holding a pink saber...not too impressive for darth!
so I made some adjustments....
I made a new color disk out of a cheap store bought flashlight that came with a very dark red lense and a dark blue lens as well...I also very carefully cut the tip of my blade, fastened a morror supplied by the wonderous custom saber shop...and re glued it in place...that worked great for making the saber red in the dark...it looked great as a matter of fact! but it still looked pink in the daylight...so what to do what to do????well I bought myslef some red tissue paper and painstakenly inserted it inbetween the diffuser and the plastic tube! all problems solved...check it out....also notice how I changed everything i could to make it look more ROTS...
natural light no flash saber on
lights off slow shutter speed on tripod
hilt shot in ambiant lighting no flash saber on
hilt shot...saber on w/flash
