Sith pride

So hey guys just had to share this one. Was applying at TDA with this costume so. This area of the house has light dimmers and this one just came out so cool. My mom took this and other pics for applying so. I do like how this one came out =] She thought this pose would look cool. So credit goes to her. I think she's secretly Sith too or just a Dark Force user

Cool! -1!  Your mother has a good eye, and, yes, quite possibly a sinister steak.

Will have to get her a saber in Violet Amethyst at some point

I'm thinking of trying that colour out on my Manticore.  Any idea how to do that?

Oh, NM, found it.

Changed it!
Here's a "shareable" link. There was something seriously wrong with the last one.  https://www.dropbox.com/s/4hbnxq5yrreyqve/MOV_0751.mp4?dl=0
I still prefer red.

A raffle now huh?  Perhaps I should get myself an Iniate V4.  A dark one with emitter windows, and three pike extensions.  Make it a staff.

I have a limp anyway.

Then I'd be eligible.

Just FYI...mixed color LEDs have a tendency to not look so hot in a windowed emitter. the individual colors don't mix well that close to the light source, so it would look blue on one side, and red on the other side.

I had this experience when I ordered SY in my Manticore. However, BH does OK, but the single color LEDs do the best.

I only tried it briefly anyway.  Looked pretty good.  I've long since returned to red though. What can be said?  It just rocks IMO.

I see what you mean though.  I never thought of that.  -1 for that, and -1 in an hour for being knowledgeable.

Oh, and I initially ordered orange as my FoC colour, but changed it to more red while I was playing around.

Not the same as the main blade colour, but slightly paler.  It looks fantastic.

Oh, I thought you were about to order a Manticore. I forgot you said you have an Emerald Manticore. dedede

Once you stick in a blade I have found that the colors tend to blend together up the shaft to tip.  Any separation is mainly more noticeable at the base including windows.  I have used a Lee filter to even out or tweek some mixed LED's closer to the color hue that I want.

I may have to invest in some of these Lee filters.

I find certain colours on emerald do this anyway, too. Most notably, I would say, is Sentinel Yellow. It has an awkward bright lime green colour on one side and an orange-y colour on the other, while the end of the blade is more of a bronze colour. This also happens with other yellows, plus whites that are made by mixing RGB or RGBW. I find it is noticable in some pinkish-purples too, but nowhere near as much as yellows and whites. This is on a 36 inch Midgrade Ultraedge.

Darth Logos, how do like your Scorpion hilt?  I want one of those.  It's a longer one, if memory serves me...

That's because the two LEDs used to produce yellow are red and green. It's some weird physics thing with light.

R+G=Y
R+B=V
G+B=Cyan  

But in cases when light is reflected of an object, R+Y=O & B+Y=G. It's something that I understand that it works, but never understood how.

As far as the whites go, just turn the W channel up on an RGBW. RGB white has a pinkish hue to it.
The Emerald produced SY looks much better than the mixed MLS, though.

Tehehe I love it. It's a little on the heavy side, but its balance negates it. It's also thicker than the average hilt diameter, which suited my big hands just fine. It is long, but most of its extra length is due to the non-MHS emitter section and pommel. The grip area is roughly the same as an average hilt. I've developed a way to drastically reduce length and weight for sparring, though.

My only qualms with it are minor. 1) Its details are a bit on the bulky side, which makes it awkward to clip. 2) The Covertec is placed in the center. Due to the claw, it would be more ideally placed to one side.
