Title: Lightsabers used after a tornado Post by: NavyGodzilla on March 22, 2012, 11:24:00 AM So, I was one of the folks that got hit by the tornado(s) in Texas that some national news networks have reported about. When the power was out for the night my wife and I illuminated our whole house to get around with two of the three sabers we owned. (Only one has sound so we were saving that for last since we figured that that one would drain batteries faster.) These blades were brighter then both our flashlight and the camping lights we keep for emergencies.
Thanks US for making such an outstanding product that helped us out Monday night. (Yes, my wife and I are fine. I was only injured while helping folks after the tornado hit, and my wife is fine. Our house is in good shape, though we won't be practicing fencing anytime soon until we get the yard taken care of.)

I did the same thing myself when a tornado rolled through my town several years ago with my MR sabers. I really wish I had some US sabers at the time for the amount of light they put out.

I'm from Nebraska originally, so I know what those monsters are like. Title: Re: Lightsabers used after a tornado Post by: Amanita on March 22, 2012, 04:44:46 PM I've used mine after a few power outages, those suckers are BRIGHT!

Title: Re: Lightsabers used after a tornado Post by: Osmethae on March 22, 2012, 06:33:54 PM Good to hear you weren't hurt (seriously injured). Next time just be a man and charge that tornado with a lightsaber in each hand ;p

Title: Re: Lightsabers used after a tornado Post by: Cartman on March 27, 2012, 11:50:29 PM use my previous "favorite" saber from saberforge as a flashlight, not going to do that to my ultrasaber, it has class
Title: Re: Lightsabers used after a tornado Post by: ThreadJack on March 28, 2012, 12:03:15 AM I've also used my sabers for light, though like Kaiden said, not after an emergency. They really do make good flashlights, even with the blades in.
Title: Re: Lightsabers used after a tornado Post by: Niassa on March 28, 2012, 02:40:14 AM Actually, apparently cyan light (SRD, anyone?) is pretty much the ideal light for the human eye. There's a great custom bike light on Instructables that uses four cyan Luxeons, which I'm actually thinking about building. :)
