"clam"? lol

[Jase Kala Maris]

How come I never EVER get away with a little typo eh?

[Jedi-Loreen]

Sometimes people do.

But not if I think it's funny!

I've got an Amber LUX III LED that I'm going to convert, will this method be able to distribute the light evenly over the blade?

Yes, though might I suggest you a get a white P4 from the store (when they are in stock) and some lee filters. The P4 has a ton more lumens and with the filters you can get a much brighter yellow and the blade will look more even and bright.

Ohh too late now, hehe!
Maybe next time I'll do a white P4, that or a green LUX III.

Thanks for the help!

The Amber led will light the blade just fine, as long as it it getting the proper current. For a filtered led, these blades really aren't that great....as the light travels to the end of the blade, the color will begin to was ouit, leaving you with a two-tone blade. I have found that for filtered led's to maintain a constant color throughout the blade that the white polycarbonate or nylon blades are best.

Where would one get a white PolyC blade easily? I plan on running a P4 with lee filters myself and I am glad I found out about the blade before purchasing it

Here's a question, has anyone tried to put the Corbin film in vertically instead of horizontally? If im not mistaken, it should spread the light into a really wide core... i think..
