Saber Forum

I know there are a few quiet lovers of Sentinel Yellow on the board (and some not-so-quiet).

Whether you want to show off your Sentinel Yellow saber, or are thinking of purchasing one and want to see how they look, this is the thread for you!

Maybe one day it will be an official colour...    ;)

That bottom photo is awesome, the yellow fits the Sith-y contacts better than a red would!
I think SY will be on my next saber, it's really growing on me especially because of my recent playthrough of KoTOR with Bastila, that beauty!

Definitely getting Sentinel Yellow on my next 'sabre - looks amazing!

I'm glad this idea of color-themed threads is spreading!  I'm about to start one for green actually ;)

Here's one of my favorites, with my Sentinel Yellow Consular:

That does look awesome.  I now want Sentinel Yellow.  

Is this a color where if I wanted to make a saber staff I might end up with two different shades?
I think I read some forum colors turn out like that.

I like the photos, and your blaster is sweet, what did you use to make it?

Aeon V2 with Amber Lee Filter ...Does it count ?

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/20/9yvaduzu.jpg)

Aeon V2 Amber Lee Filter

That would be a modified NES Zapper.

Oh, the additions and modifications I've made to mine over the years.

Which Amber Filter? =] I like it.

I did receive two different shades but it was barely noticeable. I'm usually crazy OCD about that, but it didn't bother me at all.

I love the color specific threads too! And I love SY! I'll ha e to post my pictures up here soon!

For now here's this old SY related thread I started a while ago

Well it won't post...

Its either Deep Amber or Deep Straw... Its darker than Oklahoma yellow but not orange

I wish I wrote it down haha

AS with some LEE's

PS I had to restore my hilt to its original format at the emitter 'cause my SY MLS is a bit screwy, but still awesome none the less

I'm about to drop some filters in here!

Some gorgeous yellows in this thread!  Yay!

Zexar: Yellow always seemed Sithy to me - I'm glad you think so too.  :D

Bern:  Aurentis is correct, it's an NES zapper; here's a thread with some pics for a closer look, and a thread from another I made a quick modification to:

Kresnik that yellow turned out gorgeous!  Filters totally count!

It seems like a good idea that yellows created with filters should be noted as such when posted in this gallery, just to be fair to anyone who's browsing to decide what colour saber they want order.

I'll drop in another yellow pic to keep it the ball rolling:

Heres a thread I posted a while back showing how the Sentinal Yellow goes darker as the batteries die...  This is the failed link I tried to post the other day here...

My SY Malice. It is much darker than the photos suggest because I requested more of an egg yolk yellow and Ultrasabers really came through. It makes the AS flash on clash look really sweet. Hopefully soon to be leather wrapped and further modified to be a Jedi saber, she is quite a beaut.

Brilliant! I think thus is the first time I've seen SY on a malice and it looks amazing! Point

Dude remove the claws and instant Jedi saber!


Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk 2

Definitely the first SY Malice I've seen too!

Except that I bought it for the claw look haha, it makes it stand out and gives the wielder a mighty look. I think a leather wrap would look good on the black midsection. I just have a hard time convincing people it's not a Sith saber.  :-\

Ya know all the other colors think yellow is weak, I say we should blind them.
Time to shine Yellow Legion.

I see some nice pics in this thread, keep'em coming

EDIT: oops a green snuck in there

Does the Yellow Legion accept non-standard yellow colors? Like my Toxic Yellow?

I would think so, this is for fun after all.

I didn't start this thread but my vote is absolutely

Why not, it's yellow! And it looks amazing too, I would love to see it again here

Yeah, sure we want to celebrate all yellows! 

If it's an unusual yellow though, just mention how you created it so no one who wants to buy a SY thinks they're going to get a blade that looks like yours.  :)

Unfortunately I cannot currently provide new pics of my Shadow/ArbiDard, because it's currently disassembled, under ongoing modification, and the blade was left in Moscow when I moved (I'll return for it in late August).

And I got this color from a single-color LED I randomly and luckily found on an electronics market. It was marketed as "yellow".

Oh I thought it was from a filter, awesome find! What info do you have on it so we might be able to find it? That is a great color, its pretty much what I've been trying achieve with filters on my SY.

The only marking on it reads "003". It's a 5 W, 1300-1500 mA LED. However, Darth Cooper has access to very similar LEDs, he used one in his famous lightfoil, so why not ask him where does he get them?

I will ask him thanks! Please if you can post more pictures of your saber

I posted this in the general gallery, but it's such a juicy yellow I'm posting it here too:

(http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa323/CZ3RO1/Cinden-AA1_zps88f63ae5.jpg)

Oh that yellow is just so Delicious. That is what SY shoudl look like. Is that natural or did you get that color some other way?

Now, I know I've posted in this thread already so before I show you my pictures I will explain. Upon going out in my backyard to play some catch with my older brother I happened upon a low point in the vines growing on our fence where the sunset shone through amazingly, so I figured, why not take some shots and top it off with my SY Malice. So I proceeded to enlist the help of my eight year old brother who throughout the ordeal was paranoid about getting bitten by ants. Some of these pictures may be blurry, and my "costume" if you can even call it that, a bit thrown together, but I found these to be quite awesome. All of which were taken with an iPhone.

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/01/hu8a2a8y.jpg)

Now these last ones are screenshots of a video that I had him take with his arms raised high to catch the last bits of sunset, the saber is even brighter in these.

Hope you enjoyed this pic-madness, brought to you by a saber enthusiast and his ant-paranoid little brother. :D

Yes, these are great! My favorite is the hood mid sweep. Ants aren't so bad but maybe buy your brother a can of Raid!

I really want SY now for my next color. How is the color in a stunt set up? Like does it drain the batteries quick or no? I know like, VA, DVA does. Not sure about the other special colors though. Which color would I chose to get SY? SRD then request the SY?

Yes it does drain the batteries. I use rechargeable NiMH batteries and they last a little bit longer than regular alkaline.

My fickle SY MLS is working again! Darn thing wants to be lime green, but then changes back to yellow. Anyways here's the Sinestro Broad Saber:

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/02/busu6yvu.jpg)

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/02/yvuvysep.jpg)

Now if anyone can recite the Sinestro Corps oath they get a point!

So you can use regular rechargeable batteries for stunt set ups? Cool. I may get me a bunch then. My regular colors like GB, CG, and AS don't really give me any problems though. SRD goes kind of quick but not too bad. Sucks that VA/DVA goes really quick though. Like for stunt set ups.

It's natural on the saber, but to be fair my photographer friend took a long exposure in a darkly lit night club; I don't think he does a lot of post-processing, but he did manage to get the colour looking its best (like someone's picture on an online dating profile ;))

I love it! SY is by far my favorite lightsaber color as is the idea of the jedi sentenal. I'm deffenately getting it for my first ultrasber witch will be an aeon v3 le, it would complement nicely with the shock le. Awsom thread guies let's keep it roling

I'd like a yellow saber too, thinking about getting it with the Initiate LE w/ Catalyst pommel eventually.

They think we are weak. They think yellow is weak! Come my brothers and sisters! We shall teach them our power! We shall teach them the abilities of of the Sentinels! We shall not go quietly into the night! And we shall fight them to the last breath!

Sentinals unite !!! We are the watchers, the unseen.  And we do the jobs that the guardens lack the cunning to do or the conselers deam questionable. Our strength is unknown where we border on the fringe of light and shadow.

You guys are going to make me cry.  :)


Sentinels lead the way!

I have finally joined the Yellow Legion!

A big shout out to Kham-Ryn Kurios  - Kham you convinced me that yellow was an awesome color, and you were right. WOW - it is even better than I'd hoped for...

(http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2887/9530143345_f0c8f786d8.jpg)

Question for the Yellow Legion people.  For those with sentinel yellow, what is the best color for FOC?  Red or orange seems obvious to me but has anyone tried any other combinations that looked good?  I want to get a Manticore staff in SY at some point and haven't decided on what would be the best flash color.

I love my silver flash that accompanies my SY module. For a truly striking combo though, I'd suggest blue as the that LED die is unused in SY and is just waiting to be...  ;D

It all depends what effect you want. Do you want a subtle change like a pulsating charge of current? Or do you want something bold and in your face that screams raw energy?

For subtlety I would go with silver or FO and POSSIBLY SRD. That's what I plan to get for my FOC when I can afford it.

SRD could go either way now that I think about it.

Extreme would be in the realm of primary colors (RGB)

Persionaly I think that silver looks the best. Although i'd like to see a s.r.d or even an artic blue they'd look pritty nice also

I have a saber or two with silver and like to try different things.  I thought FO might be kind of hard to notice and a video I saw of it with yellow didn't interest me all that much, but SRD sounds interesting.  Do you know of any videos with other FOC colors on a yellow blade?     


Arctic blue does make a nice flash color.  I got it on my CG Archon and I am so glad I didn't just go with silver.  AB looks much nicer.

I believe there was a gentleman on here a while back who did all sorts of color/FOC combinations. If you're willing to try to dig some up, they may help you. I'll take a couple looks around and if I find anything I'll PM you.

Here you go actually. Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for but it should help.

http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=5612.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=5612.0)

Thanks, I did see that thread.  That's how I decided to keep looking around instead of going with FO.  
I guess I like cooler colors as my flash so I may give SRD a shot.  I would like to see what it looks like though if anyone has a video of SY with SRD FOC. 

SRD uses the green and blue dies on the LED, but SY also uses red and green. I'm wondering if SRD can be done in this case? I'd request SRD but maybe add that if it's not possible with SY, that GB or AB be substituted as that would be possible.

I actually just looked. The only possible options are AS and orange unfortunately.

I completely forgot about the chart.  I guess that makes my decision easier.  
While I'm at it, which blade is best for SY?

I know this is my old SY module that I took one resistor off of. The hue is a bit deeper yellow than actual SY, but here's what it looks like with all the blade types. I prefer MG/HG with SY.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssRastP7PGQ#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssRastP7PGQ#ws)

Thank you sir.  :)

Sentinels, my brothers!
Which saber do you think will look best for my next SY, The Bellicose (I'm leaning there), or the ever-threatening Bane?

Ty
Pork

Bellicose definitely. I WAS gonna get the Bellicose but I just don't have the money.

Well then if you don't have the cash for the bellicose. Maby the aeon le v3 or the dominix le v3 would look cool in s.y., I'm goinging with the aeon le v3 my self. Also the shock le or the consular in s.y. are nice .....argh..... so many choices..... can't deside...(head explodes with an echoing POP!) Some time later....... ( the head regrows)

Bane, too many Belicoses out there and not enough Banes. SY Bane ftw!!!

Hahaha funny thing is I have an Aeon LE V3 coming in around Saturday. Then bit by bit I'm gonna buy the sound guts for it and rewire it.

I'm stuck between getting an Initiate LE w/ Catalyst pommel in SY, or an Aeon LE in SY.

Update. Decided on Bane... :D Hopefully it'll work with Soresu.

Thanks,
Pork

Nice, if you've got bigger hands it should work out fine for you. Can't wait to see pics. of it in sy

Yeah, my hands are large enough to play bass, so hopefully. I'll post a review when it gets here, but I live in NZ, so it may be a while.
Ta,
Pork

Alright guies I need your help I'm ordering my first ultrasaber this weekend. And I'm stuck between the aeon v3 le  and the shock le. I love the sleek lines of the aeon but the shock, now that's a beautifull hilt and it will will be much easier to upgeade later. And yes it WILL be sentinal yellow help me out wats y'alls experience with theese hilts. Ballance, handeling, astectics, and tinkering and best blade( ultraedge or regular)

I can't comment on the sabers because I don't own either of them, but for the blade type eerockk posted a video on the previous page comparing SY using different blades.  He seems to favor the regular over UE.  

Yes sir! For red, yellow, and orange, my first choice is MG or HG. The clear polycarbonate just makes those colors sing!

Been using the MG/HG blades for my greens, purples, and blues too, but I do prefer them in UE.

So a good way to think of it is. lighter colors = clear blade  (ie.. mg, hg )& darker colors = solid blade ( ie.. ue)

Not necessarily.  What I have read leads me to believe the colors like red and orange look better with a clear blade, but the other colors (some of which are lighter like SRD and AB) are supposed to look better in UE.  I think SY is kind of a lighter color, but is better suited to a clear blade.  I would recommend getting an MG and UEMG blade so you can do your own comparisons.  You could get a grab bag blade in whichever one you don't get with your order and save a little money over buying a new blade. 

Okay so the we all agree that sy looks better with the clear blade. As for my next saber I will be ordering an inate v3 with an extension With bolth An inate blade and a standard blade to make a grate saber When my young'un isnt playing with it. But .... the hard decision Is between the aeon v3 le and the shock le do I want to spend 120$ or 220$. I've seen review after review of bolth and every one likes them i just haven't seen a comparison. Im starting to lean tword the shock because it will be easier to tinker with Later.

The Shock has an MHS pommel AND emitter. You'll definitely have more options that way. As well, the Shock supports quick disconnects for swapping MLS units out later.

Thats why I think I'm gona go with the shock not only is it mhs compatible But I've read posts of people having difficulty changing the latching switch to the av switch in the aeon. One of the projects i have planed is a full chassis with a soundcard and crystal chamber. That being said the desision is for the shock le. But i still want to here anyones opinion of bolth the shock and aeon

There goes my tablet lol

Haha....
 Shock LE in SY ordered. Pics to come after delivery. Can't wait to use it to start practesing my saber forms. Then I'm gona start building the chassis for sound and maby something extra;-)  I will document the progress of that project once I'm able to start.


Again thank you all for your insight and advice.

New customer here. I will be joining the Yellow Legion soon. Ordered my first saber to test the waters. Grab bag hilt. Actually went with an Adegan Silver blade but for the purpose of making it yellow with Lee Filters. Sentinel Yellow is too warm for my taste and yellow filters don't seem to particularly interfere with the brightness of AS, at least from pictures and what people have said, so I figured I'd try it that way so I have options for different shades of yellow. Pics when my saber arrives.

I do have a question though: I went with ultra edge but I actually don't know if it's preferable to midgrade for yellows. What do you guys think? Since they're out of town right now I could probably still change my mind if necessary. Could someone who has an AS + yellow filter post a comparison pic?

Welcome to the legion. Here is a link where someone did just what your asking. In a color a day thred  with lee filters . And I'm right there with ya I just ordered my first the shock le with sentinal yellow. Good luck with your grabbag

Ultra-edge and standard edge is always matter of preference; personally I prefer a standard edge for SY - it feels sharper to me, and I like the 'core' effect.

I think Blazing Red is the only exception - the majority of folks will tell you to avoid BR in Ultra-Edge - it gets washed out.  Obviously there are still some Force users who prefer UE for BR though.

I absolutely second every word of this post. SY is awesome in UE, but sings with a clear polycarb blade. The reds and oranges follow suit with this idea as well.

BR only looks good on camera in UE, in my opinion.

I love yellow lightsabers! I think it's the fact that they aren't actually shown in the movies but yellow is a color of the Jedi Sentinel! This my Prophecy V3 with an Oklahoma Yellow LEE Filter!

First Prophecy I have seen in yellow, I like it!  Great saber idea! Point awarded! ;D

Wow!!! Very nice the yellow comes threw very clear with that filter

Thanks! And yeah I absolutely love that filter! It works so well!

Yeah, that filter is awesome, gorgeous sentinel saber.

My padwan stole my lightsaber!!!

Nice yellow on the Initiate, you get a point for that and the pointed tip! :)

@Relan, no problem man, any time! ;D

Got my first yellow saber, the incredibly awesome Manticore.  In person it leans more to the green side than red, which was kind of disappointing.
Don't mind the blue SI.  I tend to take group pictures.

Did you get Quick Disconnects on your Manticore?

I did.  :)

just the tip?  ;D

I may play in SY from time to time...

Hasn't been a post in the Yellow Legion in a while, and since yellow is my favorite color... 8)

For some reason it's shown up a silvery yellow, but hey ho.

(http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab297/A_L_Storm/DSC01471_zps914ba9cf.jpg)

Nice Shock LE. It really suits that colour!

                               ive got one too its awsooooom

Here is another shot of my SY Manticore.  I added a Rosco Canary filter and that it much more yellow, not hardly any green showing through.  I will say the SY by itself has been growing on me though.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/molina00/MantiYellow.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/molina00/media/MantiYellow.jpg.html)

@Molina00 - That makes me want a SY saber....but I need  a PO first!

(http://sigs.enjin.com/sig-swtor/bb41218d5ff037aa.png) (http://www.enjin.com)

I really do like yellow on the Manticore.  Nice seeing the light shine through the emitter windows!

Nice. Didn't know you could mess around with SY. I would get a Lee book and try Oklahoma Yellow over it. Bet that would look awesome. I'm getting my book next week sometime so I'll post a yellow picture. I like the regular yellow and Oklahoma Yellow best. Two Spring Yellows look pretty cool though.

SY is subject to influence from filters in such a manner that you can go all the way from red to green with it.

Thought I'd make another contribution.

Yes, I have lots of toys.

Is that Quinlan Vos' hilt on your belt? One of my favourite designs - definitely worth a point!

That it is... good catch.

I noticed that too, how did you acquire such an item?

I cannot say (other guys).

Oklahoma Yellow and Light Amber would look sick together. Just giving an idea. =]

I was never a fan of yellow. That reaper may have just changed my mind. It's gorgeous.

Can't believe I've not added mine yet:


This hilt was meant to be used with a yellow blade - only silver comes close, I think.

Nice Crimson Reaper.

so happy i found this thread! I kept hearing about the blue army, and thought "damn that's cool, but SY is my colour!" this is awesome, i just orderd my first two sabers: a shock in rgb, tweaked to give a true SY, and a grab bag in SY. ill post pics as soon as they come in.

SY is my color too, but I love it with a darker gold look, think traffic light yellow, I'll perfect it if I ever get an Emerald equipped saber.

And one more photo of my updated saber Deceiver. I updated the shroud and put a color disc in to make it more golden yellow, I like the way it came out. It looks orangish in this lighting but I assure you it belongs to the legion.

So is SY a Sith color or what? Kind of confused on this. Also how does SY run on a pure stunt set up and which regular color do you guys normally use to buy SY? Been kinda interested. Not all the way yet. Until someone can do full on detailed pics.

Sentinel yellow is the colour of the jedi sentinels. They are more a middle ground between the guardian jedi who are more forceful and the councelors who are more diplomatic. They are typically more in tune with nature (not just the force). However a lot of sith have used yellow, as well as dark jedi.
How does it run? It runs like any other colour, though as your batteries fade it turns more orange ( ill be posting pics soon and include that difference). I personally chose arctic blue then add the $5 charge.

The color gets redder and redder as the batteries die here's a thread I made showing just that.

http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=9876.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=9876.0)

Thanks srams, didnt realize this was there, saves me doing it!

Zren Zren Zren... There is no such thing as a Sith or Jedi color ... There are preferences and tradition but ...

SY will suck the life out of battery about as fast as GB.


+1

Thanks kham, much obliged

So runs about the same time as a GB stunt set up then? Not too bad. Stunts have been working in my favor lately though even my AB blade. Kinda wanting a regular Shock in SY though.

I would say go for the shock le especially in s/y it looks so much better then the standard shock you won't be disapointed

The extra gold with the LE does add a little extra to the look of a SY shock (to be bold, it adds a TOR flair to it), but I'm too biased to belittle my normal Shock.  ;)

If you wait a week or two, Ill be posting a picture of my standard shock RGB in SY... as soon as I get it back from US.

So I'll have one more to add when my shock gets back, but for now, here's my first contribution to the yellow legion

(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p666/taieer/Mobile%20Uploads/20140122_213731-1_zpsaa1355e9.jpg) (http://s1345.photobucket.com/user/taieer/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140122_213731-1_zpsaa1355e9.jpg.html)

the top is a SI staff with initiate blades, from my latest order for the raffle. The bottom is a dominix V2 that I got in my first grab bag.
I plan on customizing both of them, just as soon as its warm enough outside to get back to work!

That SI staff in SY looks sick!  I love it!  I also look forward to seeing your regular Shock, it's one of my favorites(I don't have one :'().  I think the all silver Shock is a beautiful hilt, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

oh i know im not! I already got it a while back, but it wasnt built right, so i had to send it back, its a beautiful hilt and I love it.
definitely a fan of the SI staff though, i love that thing, and splitting it to use two short sabers is wicked fun as well! 

That's definitely made my mind up! I WANT an SI staff in Sentinel yellow! haha

That Dominix V2 looks awesome in SY. :D I know I want natural SY now. Does it still have that green hint to the color though? Not that I wouldn't mind it. GB actually lasts a long time for me on standard battery set ups so SY should last the same time. Might even do a Dark Prophecy in SY. That would be sweet to have. Would SRD be good to order for SY?

Anyone have a Dark Prophecy in SY yet? Stunt or sound set up is okay. I'll be getting mine in stunt.

zren, both my sabes have the green tint for the first little while, but keep in mind SY isnt an exact colour yet so you may not get the same colour that I have.

There is also a pic of a dsi staf with the groovs in s/y that is an awsom looking pair of sabers

I'm really considering purchasing a consular in SY with white FOC and a red av switch. The sale is too good to pass up, but I just recently shelled out for a DVA dark liberator. This is turning into an addiction.

One question: what are the chances the blade color turns green towards the tip? I want to avoid that, and I don't want to have to use a filter since it will dim the blade.

When you place the order you can ask them to make the colour slightly more gold, that should take care of the green at the tip.

They'll do that? Excellent. I wanted a more golden yellow. This helps my decision. Thank you.

Now to convince myself that shelling out the money for such a beautiful idea is a good idea.

Hey are filters welcomed? I made a pretty sweet yellow I think you guys will like. Lee Deep Star and Amer. =]

I for one want to see it, I dont think there's an issue with it. Mods?

I'm not a mod, but it is the 'Yellow' thread not the "Elitist SY Club" (of which I am the president. ;)), so long as it's yellow I'd say it's permissible.

I'll get some pics up tomorrow then. =] I'm having a lazy day today for once.

They allow filters in the other color exclusive threads, so yes.

I'm really liking the yellow color I made so I will keep it on my Aeon V3. Just wish I could get me a regular Heavy Grade blade. I never hit hard anyway so I'm good with the regular Mid. I'll see what it looks like on UEHG since I have some spares anyway.

Here is my yellow I made. Using Lee Deep Amber and Deep Straw filters. I call it Deep Yellow. =] So do I look good with a yellow blade? This is a regular Mid Grade blade by the way.

Not a bad yellow. Do the Lee filters dim the blade a whole lot?

Here's my AS dark standard with a yellow filter.
I'll take a better picture when I get home.

The more filters you stack together, the more it will dim the light.

That's an awsom yellow I wish S/Y was closer to that yellow

Maybe get you some Lee filters and try putting them over and see how the yellow turns out. Might make it even more truer yellow to your liking. Just a thought.

Posably

My G/W Emerald Shock LE, set to AS with the stock US yellow filters installed.  My first attempt at yellow, kinda going for a Jedi Temple Guard look, and I think it fits the tone of the Shock LE as well.  This is paired with an UEMG.

Here I am :D  Gotta say i'm really enjoying a yellow blade on this hilt.

S/Y IMO is the best looking color for the shock le its a beautifull hilt

Agreed, i had other colours on the go but just kept coming back to yellow and stayed with that.  It feels like they were meant for each other 8)

Some hilts only lool good in certain Colors

Defiantly,  I have a shock rgb, only colour that comes close to looking as good is VA... and even then, SY is sooo much better :D

My new addition to the family.

Consular in Sentinel Yellow (with a few new parts)

I love the weight and balance of this thing with a heavy grade.
Unfortunately, the emitter is so tight I can't get the blade out.

Holly cow thats a stunning saber!

Verry cool looking saber indeed

Is that a Prophecy set-screw? Or did you actually get that from "the other guys"?

It's a thumb screw. I ordered it online, but I'm sure you can get it from Home Depot or some other hardware store. If I remember correctly, the length is 5/8" and it fits just right.

Looking closer I think I know which one that is. From a distance it just looked like the Prophecy set screw. Still a cool looking saber!

(I do enjoy that pommel, it looks awesome on my sister's initiate)

I'll be honest. The pommel is gorgeous, but it doesn't serve the purpose I got it for. Aesthetically, it is very pleasing, but the sound holes are so small that it doesn't emit enough sound for my taste. I'm looking for a new pommel, currently thinking of trying the Malice Round. The spike pommel will probably adorn my arctic blue initiate that I got for free with my consular.

I really like yellow sabers, probably get one soon... but I have a saber in BH. You may be wondering why i'm talking about that here, but since my phone had a senior moment, the blade looks kinda yellow towards the top. :P

Nice addition to the Legion! I love this saber, it reminds me of an artifact a world explorer from the early 20th century would have in his collection. I can just picture it on display in a study next to an antique globe and a mounted rancor head next to it.

Great image!!! I can see it too. Actually I modeled it after the first lightsaber that you get on ktor I love the simple design. And it handles so much better now than with the original although I still hold that the shock le is my favorit saber from us and I may re build the shock le as a stunt again.

Beautiful saber, that is a saber I could picture in universe.

This was solely done while visiting a childhood friend who wanted to see my sabers. She took this photo in response to her 90 Day photo challenge.

@Crowman76 - That is a great color capture, do you happen to know what setting you used to grab it? It's pretty difficult to catch such a vibrant hue. If you used a camera phone though, you're lucky. :)

Sent from CommPad using Holonet.

I did indeed use a camera phone, just a HTC one tapped it a couple of times to focus and it came out as is, sorry i could not help more.

This is awesome

I totally agree, the Bellicose looks amazing with SY. Probably my favorite color for that saber.

Now probly my second favorite hilt in sy my first being my shock le now customized with a a different emitter pomel switch box and leather wrap

Does anyone have a Dominix with SY? Thinking about going that route for my next saber.

Does somebody has an Azure Reaper with a Yellow blade ? I was thinking of that recently...this should looks awesome !

Yup, half of my SY staff.  :-)  I have yet to get any really good pictures with it, however.  I am hoping to get some good shots soon to post.
I love it, btw.  My only regret is that I didn't get the lit LED button to go with it.  :-)

Hoping to join the Yellow Legion soon! I get my parts in on Monday to convert my DSI to Li-ion setup with an amber LED and yellow AV switch  :D

I'm also thinking of joining the Yellow Legion with my next saber but I still wonder which blade type would be the best for that colors ? Also, I like when it's heavy...does heavy grade looks cool ? Or Ultraedge ?

In my opinion it looks best in ultra edge hg

I tend to favor UE for the full blade effect it produces over the standard blade type. Just keep in mind heavy grade blades will be heavier and make some hilts top heavy.

here is some pics of my liberator V3 to contribute to the yellow sabers  ;D I actually quite like this combo I got as a grab bag. I moved my UE blade from my DSI over to this saber as the reguler midgrade looks much better with BR and UE looks pretty good here

Yeah that saber looks great in SY. My v2 Libby remains a favorite of mine.

off camera it looks actually quite abit orange to my eye so I'm thinking it could be FO

They can be rather gold looking... I keep a very light green Lee filter in mine to tip it away from such a color.

I see well Im certainly not complaining I actually got this grab bag for free when I got my emerald Manticore. I have a BR DSI with vertical grooves as well which was my first ultrasaber which I'm gonna turn into a staff. The light green lee filter is a good idea I may give it a try and see how it looks with one in.

do you have to have a emerald saber to get sentinel yellow?

I don't believe so no since its a color you can order from US though with my emerald saber I can fine tune it to look the way I want it to be

To get this wonderful color, order any of the colors that have the five dollar upgrade in the drop down and ask for Sentinel Yellow in the comments section of your order.

You also have to add 5 requisitions charges since it is a forum color.

No sir.  There are several "forum" colors you can order using a procedure revealed *drum roll* on the forum!  :)

http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.0)

Check this out, it will give you a list of the available "forum" colors and how to request them when ordering.  Sentinel Yellow is one of them. 
I actually have two yellow emitters, two halves of my Dominix staff.  I have noticed that one is a very pure yellow, while the other has a slight green tinge at the end.  Its not much, and when in motion it actually enhances the look of the blade, but I'm thinking SY is one of the trickier colors to mix.  Hence a "forum" color and not a standard one available regularly.  :-)

Or its just reserved to make those of us with the drive to enter the forums and find the thread feel a little special, as we bring our decidedly non-standard blades into Cons filled with red, blue, and green. 
Yeah.  That's it.  ;-)

Teaser of the custom saber I'm working on. I got some parts in today including the switch and the LED. Finally part of the Yellow Legion!

(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7225/13705803443_b69b75b567_z.jpg)

"Most impressive."

Next to orange, yellow is my least favorite color. But this looks beautiful. If yellow sabers look this great all the time, I'd totally get one one day.
Sadly, many of the pics I see are usually pretty pale. Props to you though, this one looks lovely.

Pictures will never captures what SY looks like to the naked eye.

Most cameras are overwhelmed by the luminosity of the LED's, which is the cause of the white core in photos. (this applies to all of the colors offered)

We must remember that this color is not offered to the public outright, it is a color that must be requested and they are manually set.

If you want a yellow saber, US will deliver a yellow saber, but it's up to you to specify what shade of yellow; they're "Sabersmith's" not mind readers.

Not unlike most 'Forum Colors' there will be variations in color, but I must say, it is a gamble and expectations can be a fickle mistress to tango with.

So far I have yet to see a member that has been truly disappointed with the color, this is not to say that there aren't those that wish it to be just a little bit different.

I wouldn't mind a Sentinel Yellow saber at one point either. Has the hint of green been fixed? I'd have to get me a Dark Shock in Sentinel Yellow. =]

I know. If I do end up getting a yellow saber at some point, it'll be once the color gets finalized.
And pictures never do these justice. I was amazed at how beautiful my first saber was.

I have noticed that mine are slightly different.  One is a beautiful golden-yellow, exactly what I envisioned and wanted.  The other has a slight tinge of green in it.
Frankly, I like both.

What I was wondering was if the sound card might be the reason for the slight green?  That hilt is equipped with sound while the other hilt is not.  It is the only difference between the two, and they were ordered and built at the same time.  Probably has nothing to do with it, but I thought I'd ask?  :)

Usually it is just the way the dyes in the LED are mixed. Who knows though, the soundboard might be drawing power from the red dye more than the green, favoring a greenish tint.

And thank you for the comments above!  :)

My first sabers I got last summer was the Phantom Initiate V2 in SY

(http://i.imgur.com/cLlpxdxs.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/1NvdNKts.jpg)

I had two stunt sabers in SY and both were different. I had a truer yellow and a neon yellow... like a yellow highlighter with a greenish tip. I sold the neon yellow one off and the guy really liked it. I personally love golden, almost honey yellow. I love the yellow pictured above by stediskyfaller... very beautiful!

Its about time some one braught some new yellow or amber pics in. So.    ...here is one using my daughters prophacy, I have a 3w rgb led with a 1w 1ohm resistor on the red and a 1w 1ohm on the green, and I have this awsom amber !!!

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hige_6WDQZw (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hige_6WDQZw)

surprisingly I didn't have any problems with the colors not mixing properly. Where you have some yellow mixed with some more green either at the tip or at the base. But this is more of an amber than a yellow. In the end.... ilike it and I hope you do toom

Very nice color you have there, Relan! Point for that.

Thanks the color came out on camera better than I thaught

Nice mod.  :-)  I really need to get my pics in here one day... 

Is there a README/FAQ for ordering a yellow saber?  Skimming this thread, I can't tell if people are getting custom LED setups (my preference) or are using color discs to tint.  And, more importantly, if getting a yellow colour is still an option, or if US has stopped making them (or is only available via Emerald sabers).

It is a forum member only color known as Sentinel Yellow. This thread explains how to order it: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.0)

Yellow Crimson Reaper on the bottom, with Pyrestone Orange Aeon v2 on top.

The yellow blade on a red body looks really slick, nice one!

So, I was all geeked up about ordering a green manticore saber....then I saw that yellow was available as a special order.

The yellow seems awesome. BUT, I have read on some other reviews and posts that the color mix for yellow can get a little funky sometimes (giving you inconsistant hues down the blade length).

Is there any truth to that? If so, is it a common occurance? I just don't want to drop all kinds of money on my first saber just to have it look like a yellow color wheel from a paint store...

I have two Manticores in sentinel yellow, one is a nice yellow while the other has a greenish tint.  If you do order a saber in yellow try asking them to wire the LED more towards the orange or red side.  I haven't noticed an inconsistency down the blade, just in the overall color itself (one being yellow and the other greenish yellow).   

I would agree. It will eliminate the green tint and give you something closer to an Amber color. It would be nice if you could just request an Amber LED.

What blade do you guys favor for SY? Going to get my bro's girlfriend a SY saber of some type for Christmas this year. Regular Heavy Grade or Ultra Edge Heavy Grade? It'll be her first ever real saber or Ultra Saber even so yeah. Gotta pick a good one out. Probably do an Archon for her

I think regular looks best on colors like SY, FO and BR.  There was a YouTube video comparing regular to UE for SY but I don't remember where.  Maybe someone else has a link to it.

Errockk had a similar series as well but not for SY I don't think. Well, he did pics mostly.

I finally have a yellow saber, and I must say this colour rocks.

Thanks muchly!

Can you show a full view of that top shroud? Giving me some ideas. =]

Finally got a couple of decent pictures of my staff.
First one is taken with a flash, and the blade colors are almost exactly as they appear in real life, with just a slight "white" core to them.
(http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag230/Michael_Pfister/Stafflittrue_zpsf57bde67.jpg) (http://s1369.photobucket.com/user/Michael_Pfister/media/Stafflittrue_zpsf57bde67.jpg.html)

The second one is without flash, much more of the white core, but you get a better sense of just how bright the SY staff is.  It lights a room so much more than the GB or VA blades my daughters carry.

My yellow contribution. I used Roscolux filters on my AEON LE V3 (AS) to create this nice yellow color.

(http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/s528/richmbailey/Yellow3_zps7428b65c.jpg)

A fellow Rosco user.  Seems like most people use Lee filters.  That is a great looking yellow. I am guessing the Canary filter is involved?

You are absolutely correct sir!

^ that is a fantastic looking yellow!!!

Verry nice !!!

I agree! the color filters create just the right shade of yellow.

Here are some pics of my new Manticore (first US purchase), SY, Red AV switch, Mid grade blade.

Here is a full pic in a fully lit room:

That Manticore looks great! You're making me want one even more now!

How couldaanyone not want a Manticore?

Beautiful Manticore!  I may have to add it to my wish list after all...

I don't want a Manticore, because I already have two.   :D
But yeah, there is something wrong with anybody who doesn't like the Manticore.

LOL  To true.  So far, I like ALL of the US sabers.  Even the much-maligned Monarch.  Its more a matter of "can I live without one?"
Unfortunately, as the addiction strengthens, the answer more and more often becomes "no".... 

I agree.  My bank account doesn't like it, but that "can I live without one" question is becoming harder to answer, I still have 8 sabers on my wantlist.  I can't say I'm a huge fan of the Monarch, but I still like it and feels really good in my hand.  I expect Prowl will have some comment about that.  :P

just remember that you set yourself up for it. ;D

I know.  I'm interested to see his comment, if any.

Is there a way of ordering a yellow lightsaber from Ultrasabers? And if so how?

Yup, check http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.0) for how.

the best way is to order an Emerald Saber with or without sound...you'll get the yellow you really want one way or another

This is true as you can fine tune the color to your liking though is a pretty pricey option if your only wanting to have a yellow saber

This is one seriously delicious yellow colour.

I was having a little after dark fun spinning with this baby, my newly upgraded emerald Manticore staff.  Consistent colors, no green tint.  I love the emerald driver.  ;D

There are some behind the back hand transitions and over the head spinning.  I ain't great but I have fun trying.  :D
I'm actually glad I kept hitting myself.  The red flash looks cool.

Wow, those are some stunning Manticores!  Looks wicked as a staff!  And I agree, the emerald driver is the BEST tool in the shed! 

Thanks!  I have other sabers that I love, but this is the pride of my collection.

AEON is in Adegan Silver with a Rosco Canary Yellow filter. It is very bright and vivid. The picture is actually toned down. In real life it's crazy bright.

I can vouch for this.  That canary filter is an amazing yellow.

Nice staff spinning Molina, keep it up and I hope to see you advance in the staff techniques! My apartment is too small to practice staff in, so its nice to see someone else learning!

Thanks!  I need to watch some videos and learn how to really do it though.  Basically I have just watched some of people going full speed and then try to wing it myself.  I'm not too bad for not really knowing what I'm doing.   :P

A big part of it is I just love my yellow Manticore staff.  8)

Nice Manticore staff for sure. =]

Mantis CE in a light yellow and silver AV switch. The picture doesn't do the color justice I'm afraid

I really like your saber staff. I ordered a Manticore in blazing red. I am thinking about buying another one and turning it into a staff and or just being able to duel wield.

Hey Rich, inspired by that photo I ordered a Rosco swatchbook which should be here tomorrow.  I really love that canary yellow color!  I picked up a grab bag Liberator in AS and I'd love to try that canary color.

Does your Aeon run on standard battery setup (AAA), or Li-Ion?  It looks really bright, so I'm thinking Li-Ion.

Standard power setup. And it is really bright. The Rosco's are really cool. I cut a small square piece and folder the corners in. This helps keep the filter flush against the LED and not slide around up the side of the blade/blade plug.

:)

Oh wow, cool.  While waiting for my Roscos to come in I have been using the discs that US sells.  The color of the yellow disc isn't too bad (a little lemony) but it seems really dim to me.  It looks ok in total darkness, but if youre in a partially lit room you can barely tell that the blade is on at all.

I'm considering sending this Liberator back to US to have them convert it to Li-Ion because it's so dim.  Maybe I should wait and try the Rosco first.

Try the Rosco first, make sure you have fresh batteries in place. If it still seems dim, then maybe the Li-Ion is the next step. Mine is plenty bright with the regular AA's.

I've been using rechargeable AAA 1800mah batteries and haven't been impressed with them.  Fairly bright at first, but seem to run down fairly quickly.  Good thing is my charger holds 8 batteries and I have 24 of them total, haha.

Yeah, I'm hoping that the Rosco filters are brighter because I'm liking yellow and orange a lot right now and I understand that both of them can look dim in comparison to GB, CG and BR.

Standard blade youre using, not UE?

To be honest, I have several sabers in standard setup and several with the lithium set up and the sabers look about the same in brightness to me.  My standard sabers look as bright as the lithium sabers, I've never noticed a difference in the brightness really.  I make it a point to get standard on all of my stunt sabers now to save money.

Standard blade indeed. I also have a Rosco purple filter in my Dark Monarch with the Li-Ion power setup and it doesn't seem any brighter than the my AEON stunt with standard power. Actually the yellow appears much more bright than the purple.

Really?  That's wild. 

Maybe it's just the difference in brightness between colors? 

My Prophecy is in GB with Li-Ion and it's so darned bright that when I swing it on the driveway at night, it blinds me a little and leaves blue "tracers" in my vision.  It's almost too much, but def looks like a lightsaber.  When I swing this Liberator in AS, filtered with either yellow or orange (single filter disc, not stacked) under the same conditions it's nice, doesn't affect my vision so much and is good for practice in the dark...but it looks like a lit up, plastic tube, haha.  Now, my son's Dom V2 LE is in Blazing Red with a standard battery setup, but with 4XAAA, and it's so bright it's scary!

I'm not really complaining per se, but I was surprised at how much more dim the filtered AS looks and thought the Li-Ion might be a good option.  I'll try out the Roscos and practice with them for a while.  Now that I have more than one saber I can have them in different configurations for different uses.

I got to thinking, it could also be that this particular shade of yellow is just pale.  Perhaps when I am able to make a darker, more rich yellow it will appear brighter to me?

Same here.  I haven't noticed much difference, if any, between my stunt and sound sabers.
Going standard on stunts really makes sense too since the LED's don't need 7.4V of power.  My understanding is with that much they have to be resistored or a buckpuck setup to keep the voltage from blowing the LED's.  It's just the soundboard that needs the extra power.    
I'm going to have to remember that when I order stunt sabers, although I think Li-Ion is required with a stunt Emerald saber.

So weird.  I hadn't even thought of getting input from people about the difference in brightness between Li-Ion and Standard AAA.  I have 3 sabers with Standard setup right here in my office and there's no comparison between the 3.  This filtered AS Liberator doesn't even look like it's playing the same game as the BR Dominix and the VA Aeon.

This Lib was a grab bag; possible that it has an older, less powerful LED in it?

the biggest difference with a stunt with Li-Ion is that the buck-puck keeps the power even so there is no "fade".  My daughter's Initiate V3 has a standard setup and is VA, when the batteries start to die the blade color fades to darker violet, then eventually red.  It is also not as bright (the batteries are nearly dead when it gets to red anyway).

My stunt Dominix V3 has Li-Ion/buck-puck (in the hopes that it will one day have a sound card installed) and it looks exactly the same right up to the moment that it snaps off.  Which freaked me out the first time it did it.  Just ... off.  

At full power, her sabers are very bright.  No noticable difference in intensity.

Ziran, from what I've read and seen, the disks actually block a lot of the LED's intensity.  The Rosco filters will no doubt be much brighter.  I use Lee filters, but the effect is the same.  I also find that light colored filters (like that canary yellow) tend to be brighter, because you're letting through more light to make the color and only filtering a narrow part of the light spectrum.  The darker or more "narrow" the color is, the less light will get through and the dimmer the overall blade effect will be.  So yellow is a great "filter" color.  Deep reds or dark blues/purples are not going to come through as well.

Still, once you get the book, experiment.  We took our Lee swatchbook and just put the swatches in front of the LED with the blade pressed against the filter to catch the light and tried most of them.  :-)  You will find a few you really like, make those into insertable filters as richmbaily described, or what I did was cut them in octagon shapes to fit in the "barrel" of the emitter.  Just make sure they go down flat between the bottom of the blade and the LED and the color will be good.

That's why I mentioned it, I didn't think you had considered asking about the difference in brightness.  As you mentioned before, I think some colors just look brighter than others, the standard colors like BR, and GB seem brighter than the mixed colors like VA to me. I don't have an AS saber so i can't say how bright it is.  But my  stunt Dominix in GB with lithium setup and my stunt DSI in GB with the standard set up look the same to me.

Yeah, I've seen the VA do that fade out thing where it gets darker.  It's kinda neat to watch.  I put in some rechargeables and just left it sitting on my desk, turned on while I was working and watched it fade out to a weak red before winking out.  I had read somewhere that the red LED has a different voltage requirement or something and that it took less power to operate it?  Something like that.

So, is AS a "blended" LED color?  I know that RGB are standard colors, but are all of the other LEDs blended?

I think many of them are.  I'm pretty sure Fire Orange is actually straight Amber.  The "solo" LEDs that I know of are White, Amber, Green, Blue, Red.  Based on playing around with my RBG Bellicose, the Arctic Blue appears to be B+G, but it could be B+W, hard to say.  :-)  Yellow is R+G.  Purples/pinks are R+B in various intensities. 

So GB, BR, CG, FO and presumably AS would all be single-color LEDs, and the other colors are all mixes.

Ah, I forgot about the amber LED color.  I was wondering if there were only RGB and that everything else was a blend of some kind.  Certain colors are clearly blends such as the purples, SRD, AB and such, but I didn't know whether they had straight orange or yellow LEDs to use for those colors.

Thx fellas.  We'll see what happens.

These are all to the best of my knowledge, so might be a little off target:

Arctic Blue is blue + resistored green
Sunrider's Destiny is equal blue + green
Emerald Green is resistored blue + green

Violet Amethyst is blue + resistored red
Bane's Heart is resistored red + blue (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=17749.0)
Dark Violet is blue + heavily resistored red
Hot Pink is heavily resistored blue + red.

So, I got my Rosco swatchbook in the mail today.  Just spent about 30 minutes checking out the colors.  This is the expanded swatchbook that apparently has more colors in it than the regular one so there's like 100+ of 'em.  Most are not suitable for lighsabers because they are much too light or they are odd colors (who wants a brown or gray colored blade?!).

So, I quickly began trying out the yellows because yellow and orange were my primary interests in finding a good color to filter this AS bladed Liberator of mine.  Tried out a few and I like "straw" and "medium yellow", but there is no doubt, "canary" yellow is a thing of beauty!  Trimmed off a little piece and folded the corners up (thx for that tip btw), stuck it over the top of the Liberator emitter and used the blade like a ramrod on a black powder rifle to seat it over the LED.  WOW!  This is a beautiful color!  Thankfully, it's much, much brighter than the yellow colored filter disc that I received in my order from US.  People had told me that using these gel filters was the way to go...they weren't kidding!

It's neat that the swatchbook gives you the amount of transparency for each color and canary has like 85% which seems good.  When I tried other colors such as oranges with considerably less transparency (30-40%) you could really tell the difference in brightness.  So, it looks like this Liberator may be canary yellow to stay.

Pics soon.  I'm at work right now and can't access photobucket.  Thanks for the recommendations, fellas.  Yellow Legion!

Awesome.  Canary yellow is what I use as well. :)

Rich, your photo of your Aeon was my inspiration to order a grab bag in AS so that I could try out some filters, thx.  At first, I was disappointed when I tried out the color discs, but now, WOW!  With the Rosco filter it's much brighter and the blade lights up much more evenly.  With the color disc, the color seemed to fade out quite a bit toward the tip and this is only a 32" blade.  It looks fantastic now. 

I'm sure that playing with different filter colors with this one will help me to choose what colors I want to order for future hilts from US, plus, if a family member wants to use this saber for some fun, I can switch out the color and make it pink for my nieces, haha.

For me though, it looks like canary yellow will be the regular color.

Here we go:  Liberator V3 in Adegan Silver w/Rosco Canary Yellow filter, 32" Ultraedge mid grade, standard 4xAAA battery setup.

(http://i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q680/nosebleed52/20140816_175600_zps8a2820a3.jpg)

(http://i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q680/nosebleed52/20140816_175440_zpse5e8123a.jpg)

Canary is an amazing filter for fans of yellow.  That is one awesome looking Liberator you have there.

That is a gorgeous shade of yellow! It's so hard to capture the yellow on camera, but you succeeded on that first pic. Point!

Since that's a V3 Liberator, does it have more of a snug blade fit? Been wondering this. Thanks. =] I know the older Liberators didn't have that great of a snug blade fit so. Only thing keeping me away from the Liberators in any version.

Blade fit seems to be fine.  I switched the screw out for a thumbscrew since the hilt is in AS and I had planned to switch out colors on it often until I found something that I REALLY liked.  I've had the blade off and on 40 times in 2 weeks, haha.  I haven't dueled with it yet but it doesn't rattle or loosen up when I swing it for practice.

I really like the Liberator a lot.  It's more "simple" than a lot of the flashy hilts and I certainly like the more premium hilts as well, but I got this one from a grab bag as a practice hilt in standard battery setup for the purpose of trying out AS (I paid the extra $10 and selected AS with the grab bag).  Not having tried AS before I didn't want to shell out big bucks on a saber with sound in AS and then decide that I didn't like it, so this was a good way to go.  I was very happy to receive the Liberator and I think it's a great "work horse" of a saber, yet with a little class because of the emitter with holes.  It really feels great in your hands as well.  The next time the Dark Libby comes up as the DotD in a stunt version I may seriously consider getting one in either BR or PO, as I think it looks really classy as a sort of elegant Sith-type saber.

I'm loving yellow in this one with the silver hilt though.

Glad to see you've found another saber that you have fallen for, lol!  Don't forget about that awesome Prophecy of yours though. ;)

Oh, I love the Prophecy.  Wife and I had our first Prophecy vs. Aeon driveway dueling deathmatch around midnight on Saturday night, haha.  She was all smiles.  We had to take it slowly so as not to whack each other on the knuckles too badly.  Honestly though, I have no martial arts training or anything so I want to be careful practicing with the Prophecy since it's my nicest saber right now and with my lack of skills, I'm prone to what Magik referred to as, "throwage", haha.

I'll likely pick up another couple of grab bags between now and October, possibly for my brother in law and niece as they are working on their Jedi costumes for the upcoming SW birthday party.  I'm enjoying my UltraSabers so much that I want to try out a lot of different hilts, in a lot of different colors!

Yellow was not a color that I expected I would like, since I'm more of a traditionalist.  That's why I went with AS for my "practice" hilt.  Lately though I've been a big fan of the non-traditional colors and it makes me want to try out more sabers!

Yellow, orange, red...I want them aaalllllllll... :)

Yellow Canary rocks.

Emerald Archon set to SY.  It's actually more of a canary yellow of sorts, G 236/R 178.  And to my eye, to tune it to a more golden yellow, G 236/R 210.  This is with an UE blade, and there is a very slight hint of green on one side of the blade maybe 2 inches from the base up.  You wouldn't notice unless you already knew it was there, and the color fades slightly to the tip but remains a pretty consistent yellow.  Kinda prefer the lighter yellow seen here.

Nice!  That's a good looking Archon.  I want one.  I prefer the richer yellow but it's hard to get a good idea of the actual color from a photo.  I can't help but think that a lighter yellow may appear brighter than a richer, darker one.

Thanks Ziran Le!  The yellow itself is just a little darker than the top photo, but I used the white of the wall to show that there was no green/red bleeding through.  But your right, a richer yellow is nicer but it gets too dull at the top half of the blade to enjoy.  Bummer!  It's interesting that orange is brighter to the tip than yellow is.  Who knows? :)

The Archon is by far my favorite hilt, and it is MUCH nicer when you have it in person vs photos/video(aren't they all!)  But seriously it exceeded my expectations.  Start saving!

My recent acquisition, a Manticore CE. I have the color set to a warm yellow with the RGBA Emerald driver:

(http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/ac203/srr999/Vigilance.png)

Nice. Love that yellow color. More of a true yellow.

That Manticore CE...is...beautiful with that yellow.  Should cut through a couple of feet of steel no problem  :P  Seriously nice though!

interesting place for the recharge port I have the one on my Manticore opposite the AV switch

it is a nice color though

Yeah, I got it on the same side as the switch to keep it out of the way of my hand. It is very comfortable.

Now I just need to figure out where to mount the covertec wheel.

depends if your planning to staff that puppy up or not. I have mine also opposite the av switch near the bottom and it's ok there but not the absolute best spot for it in my opinnion

Beautiful yellow color you have there. It looks great on the Manticore CE.

If your familiar with where the covertec wheel is on the Archon V2.1 that is where I had it mounted on my Manticore CE.  Kinda the standard "to the bottom left of the switch" position, I'm comfortable with the wheel there so I figured it'll work with the Manticore.
Cool idea with the re-charge port placement, I never would have thought of that in terms of handling the saber. 

;D sweet!!!   all hail SENTINELS everywhere!  8)

Aray, that looks SWEET!  Well done!  Point!

that has to be the best looking prophecy I've seen! I now officially have to have one!  Point.

So if I wanted to alter my Violet Amethyst to Red,
I would need to remove the resistor from the Red diode and remove power from the blue diode entirely...
would that be correct?

That is a epic paint job! Have a well deserved point.

Hey, guys.  I'm planning on joining up with the Yellow legion soon.  Specifically, I'm thinking a Sentinel Yellow Sentinel.  Not only does it sound like something that just needs to be done given the wonderful redundancy, I think it would look pretty darn awesome.  Anyone done one of these yet?  Pics (or at least some thoughts) would be great!  Regardless, keep those yellows comin'!

I just ordered my first Sentinel Yellow saber! The suspense is already killing me! Looking at the pictures posted here will have to do until it arrives.  :P 
I will try to remember to post pictures of it when it arrives!  ;D

Just got my Dominix LE v4 in today

its got Emerald and Obsidian, and is my first Ultrasaber. ordered her in Sentinel Yellow default, but i tweaked the color to a little more golden/bronzey than it shipped

this second one is pretty accurate on the yellow

Verrrry nice Initiate LE V4.  The gold anodizing with the SY blade looks so awesome, and the emitter windows add that extra special something  :)

Haven't poked my head in here in a while, but I got a customized Initiate V4 recently in yellow, so I thought I would post it here.

(https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/12821_819629528857_6699579740653464890_n.jpg?oh=0c62f95b467f6731c471ef2bf5dc3242&oe=554375F9&__gda__=1425711211_af70c96cd9c8adb778e0a570a6dea877)

Good to try my hand at being a Sentinel again!

I like the wrapping around the v4. Also is it stunt, sound, or emerald?

This one is a stunt, most of my purchases lately have been stunts (I already have a small collection of sound equipped sabers I love, so it makes sense at this point)

Love the yellow colour!

I'm wanting a Prophecy in Sentinel Yellow with an Ultra Edge Heavy Grade blade. Does Sentinel Yellow look good in that blade?

Hmm, I know that I like the look of it in UEHG, but I am using a version that I made with the emerald driver. I'm not sure how different it would be in normal HG. Overall though, UEHG works well for me.   :D

I really like SY in all blade types!

But I do think that SY fills an UE blade very nicely, and I think it would look good in a UEHG so I'd say go for it.
 
Like SilentbutD3dly I use Emerald to get SY, so I can make sure that the yellow is a nice hue in any kind of blade.

Here's my contribution to the Yellow Legion, Crimson Reaper (Emerald) in Sentinel Yellow.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f29/cstoehr/CrimsonReaper13_zps1d7b51e5.jpg)

That CR looks fantastic in SY, LS point awarded!

Can't see. :P I like yellow blades. Very unique and different

I would have to say that yellow blades are by far my favorite, I plan on my next saber being either initiate or apprentice LE v4 with sentinel yellow of course  :)

Although I'm not sure if this saber is "Sentinel Yellow" this goldenrod color I made with the emerald driver is by far my new favorite blade color.
Too bad my camera cant pick up the color at all.
 :P

I was playing with the yellow color settings on my Emerald sabers today.

(top to bottom):  Crimson Reaper in Sentinel Yellow, Graflex in 100% Amber, and Archon in Warm Yellow Orange

The Sentinel Yellow of my Crimson Reaper is what I call "factory" Sentinel Yellow (Red 213 Green 255) because that is what it was set to when Ultra Sabers shipped my Crimson Reaper.  There is a list of Emerald LED Driver Settings with another Sentinel Yellow consisting of Red 255 Green 200 which looks to me like yellow orange.  This other color is what I am calling Warm Yellow Orange.  The Graflex has the RGBA Emerald set to 100% Amber which actually looks like another yellow orange with more orange in it.

I want my next blade to be SY, any suggestions for the hilt?

I got my Manticore's in SY and I love the combination, that is assuming you get a good color mix.  One had too much of a greenish tint while the other was a really nice yellow.  I have an Overlord in SY that looks really good.

I'd say that the Crimson and Azure hilts should all suit a yellow blade. The gold trim on the LE Shock and Aeon hilts complement yellow blades as well.

Love the lens flair! Did JJ Abrams take that picture?

I ordered a SY Dark Prophecy for the raffle. Will post pics when she arrives.

I love my sentinel yellow menace   :)

If the AV switch was black that would be perfect.  As it is, it is just near perfect.   :D
I love me some yellow on black. 

It would be nice if UltraSabers sold black AV switches, but I don't mind. The Scorpion pommel has a bit of silver, and I'm thinking of switching out the thumbscrews and Covertech wheel to silver too.

That would be a nice touch so the switch isn't all alone like that. 

I fell in love with SY on my Emerald as well. 255R, 255G, 0B. I was hoping to get the same results in an MLS unit, but it didn't happened. Slightly bummed, but it still had this light acid green quality to it.

Although I went for CG for my first saber, I really want a Sentinel Yellow for my next saber.  With Summer deals on I have spent the afternoon playing around with various customisation in online store to see how the various options stacked up pricewise. Would I be right in thinking that the best options for Sentinel Yellow are (in descending order):
1) Emerald RGBA
2) Emerald RGBW
3) Adegan Silver with yellow discs
4) RGB using the first two
What about 2 channel Emerald drivers? Any give good SY?

I am struggling on hilts. If I was going single blade then I like Prophecy and Bellicose (for slanted emitter) and Overlord/Shock/Manticore (with emitter windows). For hilt colours I am trying to work out wether I want plain silver, plain black, silver with gold LE, or black with silver LE.

At some point I want a Sentinel Yellow Saberstaff thanks to KOTOR. Not sure if I can afford it this time, especially if went for Obsidian soundboard and Emerald Driver.

Need some Yellow guidance from those more experienced in such matters.

Thanks

James

Yellow is derived from red and green so any emerald comination with R+G should do it.  I don't have an RGBA saber yet but I have heard you get warmer colors with the amber channel so you could probably get an even better yellow with that.  I get some really nice yellows with RGBW though.  I don't know how good the color discs really are, not that great in my opinion, but if you go with AS for LED color you can get some really nice yellows with a Roscolux filter book.  I would say go with some sort of Emerald setup though so you can tweak the settings and get exactly the yellow you want.

You could also do what I did when I put my Manticore staff together.  I just bought one saber and then a few months later I bought the 2nd half.  Waiting is always the hard part, but you don't have to buy a whole staff all at once if you want all the options.

Thanks Molina.  With the two channel R+G Emerald driver, does this affect any options e.g. illuminated AV switch? Did you go for Sound and Flash on Clash for both Manticore sabers?

I'm not sure what effect 2-channel has on the AV switch, have only gotten the 4-channel drivers.  I would expect you could have the switch wired in series with either channel but it wouldn't be at full power unless you had that channel all the way up.

I did get sound and FoC on both Manticores, and then later sent them back for emerald upgrades.  I bought them before the emerald driver came out. 

I have a Scorpion with the two channel RG Emerald driver and illuminated AV switch in series with the Red channel.  UltraSabers setup this saber with blade pulse on.  When the blade color pulses Red, the AV switch illumination fades to off.  The rest of the time the AV switch is illuminated Red.  The FOC color is full Green, and when it flashes, the AV switch is illuminated Red.

I received this Dark Initiate LE V4 w/ Dark Catalyst pommel in the mail a few days ago and can't find a single problem with it. Until now my Bellicose had always been my favourite hilt but this is so well balanced and steady and it's not too heavy. It's the first part of a staff that I'm going to be making using two of these with the grips wrapped in yellow leather to match. The colour is amazing and the windows in the emitter are just so nice. I was sceptical about the shorter initiate hilt before but I can't fault it in the slightest and the Dark Catalyst pommel makes it a perfect length in my opinion.(http://i.imgur.com/ItxDfZ6.jpg)

Is that Sentinel Yellow?  (Or AS w/ filters?)

It is indeed Sentinel Yellow. It's easily my new favourite saber colour!

Very nice!  I am a fan of both the V4 Dark Initiates and SY.  It looks great with the Catalyst pommel too.   Welcome to the Yellow Legion.  8)

Nice. Seems US has finally perfected SY color?

I was lurking on the site the other day and it would appear that the forum colors are now a selectable option.

Depends I think... it does for the Emerald Sabers since those are programmable and have 4 LEDs, but it doesn't for the lower cost sabers that I see.

Yeah just still only for Emerald sabers u.u

Well, at least my information is correct now. Thanks guys.

Maybe eventually we will get yo buy the other forum colors regularly soon. I know I want a yellow saber of some kind at some point too :)

I was wondering if anyone has gotten the consular in sentinel yellow, I really would like to see it before I get the money to buy it.

I say go for it anyway. This seems like a different, cool, unique set up for the Consular :P Make it your own without asking. You'll probably like it anyway but I am too interested in seeing a yellow Consular saber

I know but I want to taste the hype~ :P

I think the SY would compliment such a beautiful saber.

My girlfriend and I got my nephew a Consular in Sentinel Yellow with a silver/yellow AV switch and v4 sound for his birthday this year. I'll see if I can get him to bring it next time he comes down. If he does, I'll post pictures for you.

What's the best heavy grade blade type for SY?  UltraEdge or normal?

I really like SY in both blade types. UE has the "fuller" look while mid grade has the "core" blade look. Again both awesome in SY so it just comes down to your preference of what you'd prefer of the two.

These pictures make me want a yellow saber!  It reminds me of Bastila's lightsaber from KOTOR.  I LOVED that game!

...It's official, I want my next saber to be an Aeon V4 LE with Sentinel Yellow.

Either that, or the prophecy.
I haven't quite decided which I like more yet...Aw hell, why not just an emerald prophecy for the best of both worlds?

This is why I love Ultrasabers :P

Here is my new Monarch lightdagger in SY
Very bright, love the color.

Definitely getting it when I can.

Found a Jedi Sentinel in a place I wouldn't have expected...


(http://i.imgur.com/efwNWTz.jpg)

I want a Sentinel Yellow saber. Probably a Bellicose. But how to order? Get Adegan Silver, with discs and ask for SY in the comments section? Plus which blade shows it brighter, an Ultra edge or Mid grade? Thanks in advance for any help with my questions.

http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.0;topicseen

I believe the general consensus is that Midgrade shows warmer colors better.

Thanks that's what I will get for the blade. Point for you.

i half expected Pooh bear

Ok I read over the link, and I know you have to order a $5 extra color to get SY. Which $5 color though? It's a mixture of Red and Green...so Sunriders Destiny? Then ask for SY in the comments...thanks by the way for the help!

 Also I forgot to ask. Has anyone ever gotten a Sentinal Yellow for a grab bag saber??

I believe that the Premium color you choose is irrelevant, but yeah I'd go for SRD just to be safe.

Ok thanks!

This is the result of my silver saber and two colour discs applied:

(http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r493/swatopluc/SY%201080_zps8lnvq4xo.jpg)

That is a very nice yellow! So you just ordered a Adegan Silver with the color discs, did you have to order another set of the discs..or did it come with two yellow ones? I wondered how it would look to order it that way...and it looks awesome! Point for you!

Thank you!
I got 12 discs (that's one full set I assume), one is light yellow, the other is a sort of amber/orange-ish - these two together produced the colour. However there's always some loss on brightness using the filters, this sentinel yellow remains very bright, very near to the original silver. (You can see the whole palette in my video review if interested.)

Oh ok. It still looks bright to me. I will check out the video review. Thanks!

AS can be filtered to SY very nicely, but I recommend getting a Lee swatchbook from Lee filters.  They're high quality LED filters for stage production use, the swatch book is a small sample book you can get for a couple of dollars and cut two discs from each color swatch.

Below is my AS Aeon V4 with a filter, it has very little loss of brightness.

^ Nice Karmack! Point awarded!

I would order SRD then add forum color Sentinel yellow in the order comments

like I did what I order my bellicose

Does yellow make it more expensive? ???

Yes, you will have to pay a little extra for them to change the LED to SY.

You can find more details on that here: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.0

Yes, it's a $5 requisition charge in the parts & supplies section on top of the (+$5) for premium color (SRD, VA, AB)

Cool,  when I order my Sentinal Yellow saber I'll do it this way too! And that Bellicose looks awesome in SY! Great choice for it!

I know I said that your Bellicose in SY was beautiful in your intro thread, but damn it really is a sleek looking saber.

thank you so much

Nice. Probably the first Bellicose in Sentinel Yellow I've seen unless there has been others and I missed them :P Silver button and switch on it looks nice with the yellow blade too

thank you Zren

It probably helps that yellow is the region of the spectrum that our eyes are most sensitive to.

Anyone else see the Sentinel Yellow blade on the episode of Star Wars Rebels in March?  Made me giddy :)

Yes indeed I did !! That was pretty cool to see! ;D  I have a Sentinel LE in S/yellow and I love it !!! ;D It is also the brightest saber color I have.  :o

I need me a Sentinel Yellow saber already :P But on what saber... Arbiter would look nice in Sentinel Yellow for sure. I might go for that. Gotta read the info on the saber itself though again

Emerald Amber 95, Green 95, Red 30.  Amber helps to make the purest SY blade I've ever seen with an emerald saber, and adding the red just ups the brightness with cleaning up any residual green - so nice. 

Very nice, Hazard. +1

Hazard that might just be the best looking SY blade I have seen!! And on a Consular... Just Awesome! +1

Indeed, and I love the emitter and pommel swap out you did their. Looks great!  :)

very nice looking custom consular hilt in sentinel yellow

Thank you, guys 8)

New saber with spare parts... I totally love it!! War glaive body plus other parts, plus my own shrouds.

Very, very nice.+1

Those shrouds are top notch. 

Good use of connectors to utilize the Archon neck and the new emitter, and all the other goodness :) ... point.

That is a really nice looking saber you have there, srams! The dual emitter shrouds are definitely the standout feature. +1

Hey guys!

So the time to purchase my lightsaber is drawing ever closer (*eyes calender* A little over a week to be precise *squrim*) and there is a very strong chance I'll be settling on Sentinel Yellow for my blade colour. Of course I am torn between that and Adegan Silver. So here's a little background!
The Sentinel was always my choice in the KotoR games as their style always suited me more and they're colour sat better with me than blue or green. However in KotoR 2 and SWTOR I have favoured the Silver / White blade when they turned up. I feel it may work best in my favour to get the Adegan Silver with colour discs so I can make the Yellow blade and swap back and forth whenever the feeling hits. So, a few questions, but first;

My characters:

My Jedi Shadow - http://i.imgur.com/SAAziqn.jpg

My Sith Warrior - http://i.imgur.com/nvNAOXb.jpg

And onto the questions. I will only be getting the Obsidian lite soundboard with my saber, no emerald unfortunately so no tweaking the colours to my liking that way!

1. What does the Sentinel Yellow look like on a standard saber with sound?
2. How does the Yellow disc look when combined with the Adegan Silver?
3. Is it possible for either the Sentinel Yellow or Silver w/ discs to look like the Yellow my Jedi Shadow is wielding?
4. ... I can't think of a fourth question right now.

Thanks guys!

Oh yes . . . . very, very nice indeed Haz . . . . I'll have to give that mix a go . . . . +1  :)

It has occured to me I made my post in the wrong thread... this is a very good reason as to why you should not have multiple tabs open! If someone could delete that, that'd be great >.<

Thanks Jed! I think you'll enjoy it, it's quite stunning.

I'm still quite fond of R255, G255, B0, W0.

Yes that is a nice setting and yeilds a nice yellow too. If I remember ... I might do a comparison between an RGBW and RGBA yellow.

Love the color, and I like that MHS combination. +1. Could you please show me a pic of that same hilt combination but with the arbiter's pommel?? I've been thinking of getting both, the consular and arbiter to make the combination. Thanks a lot for your help, I would give you more points for shore. Nice pics... may the force be with you...

That's actually what I use as well.  R 100%, G 100% with no blue or white.
I back the green a little bit for the pulse color so it pulses slightly toward gold and FoC to silver.  :-)

I need to get a few shots of this new saber posted up...

I'd be happy to pull together that combination Lord Japarco, will try in the next day or two. 

Lord Japarco . . . I think you may be onto something.





RGBA Sentinel Yellow : G95%, A95%, R30%




RGBW Sentinel Yellow : G95%, R95%, W5%



And together . . . these pics are taken against a mint green wall which has an effect on the photos but you can see the difference with the light on the wall behind each one.  Both yellow, both unique.

Thank's very much Hazard...I think it looks great, but it needs something...maybe the half part of the guardian pommel to make choke point and a sleeker transition to the emitter as it's much more thiner than the body?? Don't know... It looks cool anyway... Thank's again...points for you...

Any of you Sentinels able to give me an idea of what shade to expect for Sentinel Yellow in the standard saber with sound?

Like, straw, amber, honey, bumblebee?
The pics in this thread look amazing but it's difficult to tell without it stating in the post if some of these are using the Emerald Driver or not and obviously different camera qualities show up different colours. If I can get a hint of what to expect then I should be able to settle my mind in the next few days.

Here is my standard SY (right) next to FO (left) in a regular Midgrade blade. It is still variable, though, with some looking more green and some more red.

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1602/26573590876_d81dbc8d1b.jpg)

It looks quite pale, though that may be due to sitting next to the FO (Fire Orange?)?

I assume this is a Forum color MLS and not Emerald?

Yes, both are  :)

Thought so. I was a disappointed with the hard wired SY. The Emerald SY is simply hypnotic. I love it.

I had heard many varied stories of the color produced from a SY MLS, but was nicely surprised by the color of this one. I haven't actually tried to make it on my Emerald saber though, but it would be a nice comparison.

I think the Emerald board does a much better job of regulating power to the LEDs than the resisters do. So it results in a better balance between the red and green.

Hi guys, Iv narrowed my first ultrasabers purchase down to the dominix le v4 or manticore ce (not sure which one yet) in yellow but not sure whether to go AS with lee filters or risk getting SY as I have read about the potential problems with the led mix? What are your thoughts? unfortunately emerald is out of my price range  :'(

If you go with silver and colour discs you can get a nice sort of yellow even with the default US filters (combining the yellow and amber filters). That's the brightest colour disc combination which is a bit dimmer but still great.
Using better filters (Lee for example) can end up brighter results.
All the above I can confirm with UEMG blade, I guess any heavy grade solution would not be the best to use with colour discs.

On the other hand I'm pretty itchy to get a SY saber sometimes but I also have read the concerns.
Maybe it's really the emerald which gives the best result...

Thanks thats what I was leaning towards anyway just wanted some advice from the experts before I made my mind up, now just to decide which hilt to go for!  ;)

I had read all the stuff about SY on here also. But went for it anyway, and I'm glad that I did. Mine is very even yellow and I love the color!   ;D Got it around Christmas time. I will say that it looks SSOOOOOOOOOOO much better in the standard mid-grade blade  :o  than the ultra-edge. Pics don't do it justice!! BTW, I got the Sentinel  LE V4 in SY and it goes great with the gold accents! Hope this helps and good luck on your choice.

So, I finally got around to taking pics of my Sentinel and here it is.

Hi Bahn.  Really liking both your sabers.  Thanks for sharing.   point   8)

Nice. Never thought of that look for a Catalyst :P How easy was it to take off the stock emitter?

Thanks!

The blade holder for the Catalyst is easy to remove however the LED assembly is not modular therefore the the collimator lens is "floating" on top of the LED. That said the collimator lens is weakly glued that it dropped from the original blade holder. The LED assembly is also floating on the choke. I had to center the collimator lens I used (from TCSS) on the shrouded blade holder to make sure I don't loose focus of the light. It was a bit of a nuisance to see this kind of assembly but whatever, I got my TCSS parts to work.
Sorry, pretty long answer to your question.

So nice!  And how awesome was it that the new emitter aligned so well with the switch?!  Another point!

I didn't even realize that... hahaha
Thanks
A point back to you

Wow, this is a whole new take on the Catalyst and it looks amazing! I've never given that saber much thought, but seeing like this definitely makes it look more appealing. Have a point for a great combo and opening my eyes haha +1

That's the power of the Force... ;-)

that's where ninjas mount there weapons at home

Bahn, I really like the slanted emitter (big fan of them) on your Catalyst ! Point to you good sir.

Haha that's awesome ... though my son is more of a ninja than I am but he can't reach that high yet :D. Thanks for the memory of this pic, had my Archon in SY for almost a year.

It may have already been said, but how does one obtain the yellow blade color?

This is a good place to start: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.0

Hope this helps.:)

Through some stupid new-agy meditation jive. Then your crystal changes color. ::)

Thanks much. I'm considering getting a saber in yellow  but I'm not sure about a hilt model.

Dark Sentinel V4 LE with windows? :P

How well does Sentinel Yellow run on a standard stunt set up?

How about a SY more on the gold side of the spectrum? My Bellicose Emerald RGBA with Amber maxed out:

Nice. I like how it seems the base of the saber is more yellow then going towards the tip its kinda more golden. Is it like that with a standard stunt set up as well? Still wanting mostly stunts so

yes even with a stunt it will do that as the batteries are slowly dying

I always advise to get the rechargeable batteries on mixed colors so the saber does NOT change colors as the batteries die. But that's just me.

I have three sets of rechargeable batteries from US and a charger to have charged set on hand for mine

My Arctic Blue, Emerald Green, and Sun Rider's Destiny never gives me problems so. Was actually thinking of trying a Bane's Heart this week. Always been curious about that blade color in person

My Lost Gray in SY arrived this week, so happy with it, it's a work of art!

I went for the gold coloured buttons, as I'm planning on painting certain sections of it gold as well, namely the bumps on the pommel, the raised section at the pommel end of the hilt, the Covertec wheel, and the main part of the sabre under the shroud. I'm imagining what the sabre would look like if Ahsoka had become a Jedi Sentinel - more pics to follow!

Congrats! The Lost Gray is awesome I'm having a ton of fun with mine :D. Love the yellow blade and gold accents on yours 8)

Nice Lost Gray! I don't think I've seen one with a yellow blade yet, and your back story of Ahsoka being a Sentinel Guard is cool. The painting sounds fantastic. I'd love to see pics but also know by what process you get it to bond to the metal. Did you know Ultra Sabers has anodized gold Covertec wheels you can buy? I have a few myself. Just an idea to have one less thing to worry about painting.

Point incoming 👍🏻

Your Lost Grey saber looks great with the Sentinel Yellow blade. Well done and point.

Here is a pic of my SY Sentinel LE V4! Hopefully I can get electronics for my empty Apprentice hilt so I can show off an SY staff with my QR Coupler!

Nice glow! Looks so regal with the Sentinel LE gold accents, not to mention the Sentinel itself is an awesome hilt, as I recently discovered having purchased one myself.  Thanks for the pic!  Point to you!

Nice yellows. I just can't make myself go for a yellow blade for some reason. I might give one a try at some point though just not sure on what saber though :P

Hey, Zren. I felt like that before, but I found yellow is a mysterious color with history. Sentinel guards using it came much later. The Luke Skywalker action figure was the first to have one which spawned the first toy lightsaber with not blue, not green or red, but a yellow blade:

(http://www.heliocracy.com/components/museumimg/luke.jpg)

They even had Obi Wan Kenobi holding one:

(http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTU4WDQwMA==/z/Y6gAAOSwstxU~Zmw/$_32.JPG)

Check out this video. It doesn't have answers behind the yellow blade, but it's fun to watch:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPQvRahIzis

OMG LB, my best (childhood) friend had those  ;D  Seeing those pics REALLY hits me w/ nostalgia  ;)  And good point w/ Luke's yellow blade (always thought that was odd even since I was a kid).

Yeah, they were a little "confused" back then.  Still, yellow lightsabers are very cool.  ;D

LOL  So true  :D  Yeah, I'm thinking about getting a saber (probably Lost Grey) w/ a Sentinel Yellow blade.  I see  a few members talking about an Asoka build & pairing the Fulcrum w/ Lost Grey.  I might have to check that out^^

Cool finds though

one of my next 3 sabers will definitely be a Yellow. I didn't fully know how to acquire this color when I originally made a purchase. But now that I know what I gotta do I FULLY plan on getting one!

I remember first reading the forums and kept wondering what "Bane's Heart" and "Sentinel Yellow" were.  There's another thread w/ the forum color blades...somewhere (for the life of me I can't recall; damn my old age  :P).

So I finally got the electronics together to pair up my Sentinel and Apprentice into a staff! I'll make a separate post shortly and add a link, but for now...

(http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u376/Nathaniel_Reykun_Davis/20170429_150046_zpsbzl11ujd.jpg) (http://s1064.photobucket.com/user/Nathaniel_Reykun_Davis/media/20170429_150046_zpsbzl11ujd.jpg.html)

The more I see these Yellow Sabers the more I fall in love with them! Definitely going to be getting this color for my custom saber.

Beautiful saberstaff, Nathaniel.  What are the size(s) of the blades for those?

Well, I'm not the tallest guy, and I have low ceilings, so I use 24" blades. When I'm not restricted by the ceiling, I find it gives me more maneuverability and a little bit better control.

Is the SY coming from the Sentinel produced from a Diamond or Emerald board?

Nice!  Again: GREAT looking saberstaff  ;)  Have you thought of maybe staggering the blade lengths? 24" & 32" for example?  I saw some pics of a saberstaff w/ a similar set up and it looked really keen^^

Nope, it's the SY LED.

 
Thanks! And I've tried it, but it doesn't work well for me balance-wise, though on occasion, I'll put a plug in one side and wield it as if it were one long hilt. As is, I can wield with one hand (which is my preference), with my hand at the bottom of the Sentinel just below the coupler, and my thumb curves nicely just over the Covertec, so it's not in the way. Since the Sentinel is a longer hilt, that's pretty much the center of the hilt instead of the coupler.

>:( >:( >:( >:( >:( GRRRRRRRRR. Mine looks more like the one on the left. I wanted what you have on the right. But then I've noticed that these blades look different in pics than in person.

Gotcha. 😂 Well, I can say that there was a window above my bed (where I took the picture) on the left that affects the color on it. Also, if you look, the bedsheet sort of coronas around the left, whereas the right is pretty flat. In person though, they look the same, maybe just a slight difference in color.

Hmmm. All I know is I fell in love SY when I saw it on my Emerald Mantis with 100% on R + G (Which looks like the one on the right). But when I ordered an SY MLS with my Manticore CE, it came out looking like the one on the left. Oh well.

That's crazy cool Haz!

Thank you!  It's the Werble app I'm having so much fun, there's more but I'm trying to spread it out lol.

Nice. Downloading myself. Now having some cool ideas of my own with it for other stuff :P

Perfect Haz!  I literally Lol'd

Point sir!

That looks like Real Fire orange!  :o :o

Irts the Super Saiyan God lightsaber :P Kind of has that same effect a bit

That's nice, can't see this setup in US's stock though :)

Are we having too much fun with our computer? ::)

Why yes ... yes I am!

Thank for the comments, all!

You know, i imagine the flames would be us if lightsabers were actually real lol due to applying science to fantasy. Looks great nonetheless :p

No doubt, right?! Energy not so contained lol.

This actually reminds me of a quip I heard on Because Science. With regards to Rey slicing through the rock while practicing with the saber, he says that an energy blade, with enough power to slice through solid rock like that, would be enough to instantly vaporize a human body. So there is what actually happened to Obi Wan in Ep.4.

Actually, I heard the same idea very recently as well.

As a member of the Yellow Legion, I haven't done this in a while, so...

Points for the pic, Karmack ... lookin good!

Nice pic Karmack!

Cool pic Karmack, Nice to see a Dark Catalyst in yellow!  :o

Thanks guys!  You can see I'm getting gray.  My daughter makes fun of me.  Says that's the real reason I'm a "Gray" Jedi...  *sigh*

Yeah Karm!  Looking good my friend!

Lol!

Point!  And another for your daughter's wit  :)

I guess I'm part of the yellow legion too now, even if its a filter.  That counts, right?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc7qPpgx7ik

Ok, the shoulder role is AWESOME!  A bit risky if it were a 'real' saber, but AWESOME!

And yes, filtered counts.  :-)

Y'know, add some blaster bolts being deflected to that and you'd have an awesome segment for a larger saber duel video... 

It counts!

I really want SY but I also want others so I'm just gonna get AS with color discs and then I'll be part of the Yellow Legion too!

It’s the way to go imo.

I have officially joined the Yellow legion with my SY Dorianian. Ill post a pic soon.

Please do! that sounds like an awesome combo!

Beautiful display!

What blade type usually looks best with Sentinel Yellow? Thinking of still getting one then in a way I'll have all Potter house blade colors :P I have blues, greens, and reds so why not :P  You all know I like my standard blades but I know Sentinel Yellow can look best in other blade types so thought I'd ask. I'm thinking Ultra Edge will make it look brightest?

Sickness! That angel roll is looking flawless dude. What saber are you using in that clip?



That has to be one of the classiest looking sabers I've ever seen. Very nice indeed.

That's the one I showed in the picture, it's an Apprentice LE.  I put a larger pommel on the end to give it a little counterweight for the move.  Still pretty tricky to do with that small of a hilt.  I find it easier to do with the Aeon or Dominix line.

I can't imagine trying that with such a small hilt. Extra props for that.

Been meaning to post these for months but haven't gotten around to it until now.  Got this beautiful color with some Lee Filters.

I just got another saber and am gonna make it yellow as well and knowing me it'll take another six months to post updated pictures of it.

That’s a gorgeous yellow! What’s the name of the filter used?

Thank you! It is the Dark Amber LEE Filter

Will definitely give that color a try. Thanks! Point for you!

Great pics cookies, thanks for sharing!  Color filters do make some excellent yellows for AS blades.

Agreed!   I prefer straight-up Yellow (101) but I have that same amber filter as well if I want a yellow with more gold/orange to it.

Yellow:

And Amber:

I really like the yellow and amber filters.

What app is this?

its called werble

Thanks Fedora. And for some reason, I already had it installed. Lol. Point

Yellow short...

Nice there, is that the AS with a colored disk, Gumby?

You got me bub!! Good guess!!

Seeing your post makes me antsy to receive my saber!

I’m antsy for you pal!!! It’s a daily struggle to keep myself from just buying every saber that goes in a flash sale or is the daily deal. Actually having a saber on the way is like waiting for a new child!!!!

Thanks, I'll definitely keep the updates going!  Not sure about the child part but it's like waiting for car parts to me (I'm a gear head).    8)

I get that too. I’ve got enough cars and bikes to prove it!! Pretty soon my sabers will out value them.

I think we're going to be real good friends, Gumby

It’s too bad I live in the middle of nowhere. I’d love to have a marine to shoot against, and then have I nice saber duel with after!!

Touche, Gumby! Touche! 

The InSpectre, my SY seems to be a little orange, probably need a battery swap, and AS Omen with filter.
The Spectre body goes with most emitters I've got.

The Dark Omen on the Spectre is amazing.

Beautiful sabers.

Yeah, SY turns towards the orange side as the batteries drain. I had one go straight red once as the batteries were so low that it would no longer power the green LED at all. New batteries brought it back to that lovely SY color. :D

I’m not going to lie, the Omen in the Spectre is beautiful, seperately, I didn’t care for those two but together, they’re gorgeous

That's an affirmative on the battery swap, much better!

I was kind of liking the orangy yellow!!

Your swapping madness continues, these are a feast for the eyes and so much fun. I'd like a Dark Omen too ... great share and points.

Those are some truly great looking swap ups DB! Point for you

I'm finally in the Yellow Legion now.

(http://i.imgur.com/g2xXDd6.jpg?1)

An excellent trio, ohhhh... a Consular and an EH both on my list. Great pommel on your Aeon. Points for you.

Based on your phenomenal collection and your art in swapping emitters and pommels, that means a lot to me, DB.  Have a point back!

Nice!   The Aeon V4 with an Archon pommel will ALWAYS be my favorite hilt!  Especially in SY.  :-)

(https://i.imgur.com/OAD9vcQ.jpg)

Agreed, Karmack. Point for the twin!  8)

A little yellow in the middle...

(http://i.imgur.com/UldLlsZ.jpg)

Indeed there, Gumby.  Point for a mighty fine collection.

I'm not sure if I'm asking in the right place (if I'm wrong I apologize) but it seemed like the best place to ask...

I am currently very interested in getting myself a Sentinel Yellow saber. Only issue is: I don't know what kind of Flash on Clash I could ask for. I believe it is a mix of red and green so logically those two would be options I guess. Could any of you Yellow fans tell me this or should I contact US directly?

Right now I have my eye on a Bellicose in SY with Yellow-Illuminated AV switch.

I like a variety of colors for the SY like AB or VA. I think BH would be neat to see as well

Hi.  If you are getting a straight SY LED with a FoC  ( as compared to an Emerald Driver )... then your flash options are silver and orange.  There is a flash chart for each primary color on the ordering site.  The illuminated av switch ring is more of an orange-yellow... much like the orangey color used for highlighting options such as " insert quote " or your forum name above your avatar.  The orange flash is quite warm nice and noticeable.  White is always cool bright.

Also SY can tend to have a greenish hue so if you want a truer yellow then ask them to configure it to that.  The other option is to get an AS main LED and use some yellow gel filters to get the color(s) that you want.  :)

How does one order a saber with SY, D7?  Or is it only with the Emerald and Diamond driver and controller?

I saw a post about ordering "Forum" colors and it explains well enough apparently. My only concern was that it didn't really tell what FoC was available for the different colors (and of course being "Forum" colors they are not listed on the website unless you take an Emerald or Diamond saber which are rather expensive).


Thank you!
Yes I was asking about getting a straight SY (because the Emerald or Diamond, though very attractive, are a little expensive for me at the moment).
I understood that AS with color discs didn't give as nice a color as picking one specifically so I was leaning more towards something definitely yellow.

Guess I'll have to hesitate between Orange or Silver for FoC. Orange seems somewhat more noticeable and kind of would make sense if clashing against a BR blade right? On the othr hand FoC in Silver would make the blade seem less like it's leaning toward the dark side red and more towards the light side...Decisions, decisions... ::)

Found it here: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.msg55435#msg55435 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.msg55435#msg55435) Have a point.



These are the five "Forum" colors. They are all variations of colors available to the public.

(Someone please correct me if i'm wrong.)

DVA - Made by tuning a VA to a more indigo.

BH - I think it's made by tuning a VA to make it MAGENTA. (Sorry for the caps but you can argue with me all day about what color it is, so if you don't believe me google magenta.)

Pyrestone Orange - Made with red and green courtesy of an RGB led (much like Violet Amethyst is made with red and blue).  Blood Orange, Red Orange, w/e you want to call it, it looks like FO with more red.

Sentinel Yellow – Another mix of red and green with an RGB led, but this one turns out yellow.  Golden Yellow, really IDK how i'm supposed to describe it and not sound biased.......because i am.  It's just yellow and it's awesome.

Emerald Green – A mix of green and blue, essentially a modification of Sunriders Destiny with a higher resistance on the blue diode to give a greener hue.


These five colors can be ordered very easily.

First - When you are making your color selection, you MUST choose one of the "Premium" 5$ extra Colors. Such as, Violet Amethyst (VA), Arctic Blue (AB), Sunrider's Destiny (SRD), etc...

Second - There is a $5 ADDITIONAL charge for "Forum Only" colors.  Purchase a quantity of 5 (so $5) in requisitions charges from here: http://www.ultrasabers.com/product-p/requisitioncharge.htm (http://www.ultrasabers.com/product-p/requisitioncharge.htm)

Third - After you have made your selections and are ready to check out move to the checkout page. Here you will find a small box labeled "Order Comments", specify IN HERE that you would like to have the color chosen changed to W/E color you write in the box.

Here is another thread to check out and answer your Forum colors and ordering questions.  Started by Moderator Kham.  :)

http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.msg55435#msg55435 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.msg55435#msg55435)


Gel filters are fantastic in the yellow ranges... anything from a toxic lemon-lime, bright sun to a golden color.  They can be added on to a SY as well as other colored filters... this will then change/alter the color of the flash.  :D

Ooh and thank you, D7. Point!

Thanks and point back for the needed info that you supplied... much appreciated.  :)

Point bsck at you for that!



Have a point for that!

OK guys. Sorry for "polluting" your awesome Yellow post. Now I'm done. I'll let you guys get back at it  ;)

No problems... some members don't know about the Forum colors or have forgotten how to order them.  :)

I know it's been a while since I've posted here regularly, but I'm still around. :)

I joined the Yellow Legion today with a custom saber built at Dragon*Con.  Dark Initiate V4 with Sentinel Yellow blade, guarded switch and Lite Sound (also my first sound saber!)

-GrayTinker

(https://i.imgur.com/1smbOL7.jpg)

Beautiful Dark Initiate you have there, GrayTinker!  I have it's twin but in GB, although I'm more than likely going to change out the color and add sound at some point.  Have a point.

I love the golden tone of this deep straw. When I get my saber I'm definitely going to do a post clone wars Asajj Ventress cosplay to show you folks.

All beautiful! I think you said in another post your Consular is a diamond saber. What color are the Emperor's Hand and Aeon V4? I can't tell if their glows are influencing eachother.

That initate is sweet sauce there Tinker!! Nicely done!!

Hey there, Solstice.  The Emperor's Hand is an Emerald saber that’s set to Violet Amethyst to pulse to Sentinel Yellow.  My Aeon V4 is Aegean Silver and being flanked by my Consular and Emperor's Hand, it looks a little yellow.  Likewise, my EH being flanked by my AS Aeon, the SY looks a little orange.  Hope that clears up your question and thanks for looking!

Cool, thanks for the info :) The silver Aeon is giving off a 'knight in shining armor' vibe

You're welcome and thank you. I have plans for my Aeon, "reverse LE" the hilt which is the opposite of the Dark LE so instead of black with silver accents, I plan to paint my Aeon with black accents to match the Archon pommel that's attached to it.

We will look forward to seeing that Asajj Ventress cosplay for sure.  :)

Just chilling by the tube...

Naaa, it’s just so I can find the remote! 🤓

Haha, don't burn your TV stand or TV though.  Point.

Dang, 99 degrees Fahrenheit? It's a bit warm. ;)

What’s funny is I live in central Montana, so it’s rarely ever that warm, especially at night! My Android box has a mind of its own...

Thanks!  I really like the Dark Hilt / Yellow Blade combo.. the whole Black & Yellow vibe.  I jokingly call it my "HuffleSaber."  :D

-GT

One of the first fonts I set up on my Graflex CE/Diamond was a Sentinel Yellow. Just like my very first lightsaber - the 1978 Kenner (Inflatable) Lightsaber. I love it!

(https://i.imgur.com/TgYX3eq.jpg)

So I also got a SE "Forum" LED for my new Spectre -

(https://i.imgur.com/MsEVkhw.jpg)

The Graflex and the Spectre in SY looks great.

Yep, they both look great in yellow. :)

^^^ Very cool yellow blade on both of those hilts.

Nice yellow examples MP, which do you prefer?  The US LED SY, or the Diamond set SY?  I found the Diamond set SY to be a bit too green for my tastes and had a hard time getting it just right so that it did not look either too green or too orange.  Just wanted to get your thoughts since you have both.

I wasn't real crazy about the preset Yellow on the Diamond. It took some time and a lot of adjustments, but I think I got a better Yellow out of the Diamond.
For what it is, the US LED SY is very nice too. I've been messing with Obsidian v4 on the Spectre a lot, so I imagine I'll get some better color out it when I put some freshly charged batteries in it too.

I look forward it, MP.

Nothing much going on here, just guarding the Jedi Temple. (or my TV and computer, whichever you prefer :P )

The tv and the computer could be your temple?!?!?!?!🤗 I’m wanting a SY pretty bad. I’m stuck between SY, BH, HP.

Love that SY blade there, SFD.

Thanks guys. :)

I was actually amazed that the saber came out as yellow as it did. When I did that install, I just grabbed a resistor I had pulled from an old Ultrasabers stunt. I was expecting it to be a bit more on the green side, but it's actually really close to Ultrasabers' SY. :)

What's the original LED color and resistor ohm rating that you used? Did you also mix the R and G from an RGB LED to get the yellow or just a single color led with the resistor? I've been wanting to do something like this after watching a TCSS video on resistor and color setting with LEDs

I don't really know what the resistor is. It's got some numbers on it, but I wasn't able to make a lot of sense of it. (no color coded bands) I think they used to use a lot of 2 Ohm 3W resistors, so it was probably one of those. The LED is just a Cree, with red and green used to mix the yellow. The resistor I pulled from the old LED is on the red negative only, then I have a small resistor on my common positive, because the power source is only 3.7v.

If you have an orange LED, it's going to stay orange no matter what resistor you put on it. The only way to change its color is to mix it with another color. I'm not sure if you can get yellow from mixing orange and green, like you can with red and green. Unless red and green were used to mix the orange, then you can just more heavily resist the red to get yellow.

Several years after giving up on my struggles to get a consistent yellow with RGB LEDs (it's green or orange now, depending on my mood), I finally pulled the trigger on an Arbiter in Adegan Silver. Arrived today, and I slipped a yellow Lee filter in place to join the Legion.

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1906/44847708384_975d8ea0b2.jpg)

Also my first saber with an Ultra-Edge blade. Definitely an upgrade. This will be my sparring saber, and it's step one in my plan to build a Nagamaki-length hilt with a "hidden" short second blade in the bottom.

I absolutely love the Arbiter and really want to get one!  Wow, the Lee filter that you use looks really good, doesn't even look as if you used a filter.  What code did you use if you don't mind me asking?

(https://i.imgur.com/48BG0NN.jpg)

YELLOW

Yeah, yellow and purple are really hard to get consistent. But, that's what filters are for. ;) (or just roll with having different yellows)

Looking good there Kaz.


Exactly and there's nothing wrong with different shades of yellow

My Emperors Hand with 'Karmack' inspired Yellow (Little less Red than Sentinel yellow standard using Diamond Driver)

(https://preview.ibb.co/jf8hJA/EH-Karm.jpg) (https://ibb.co/dG3GdA)

The Emperor's Hand looks good in yellow. :)

The Emperors Hand looks good in EVERYTHING...I've been playing with the Diamond controller this weekend so...

That's a beautiful yellow there, LSG.  I like how you do try out member colors to and showcase them, paying homage to the members who created them. Keep up the good work!

Dude! ArrScott, that’s a crazy looking yellow! Is that image accurate, or just the way the camera grabbed it?

Sweet!   That looks great LSG!  :-)

Very fitting. Looks great for sure.

I like that a lot. The yellow looks great with that saber.

That is gorgeous, DBTD!  It really stands out! My favorite Raven saber so far

Oni-Wan Wakanda and I were messing around with color changes earlier and I was able to get an awsome yellow that’s almost gold with project Omega!! His pale purple cameout sweet as well!

Sweet raven DarthBoneTD, and looking good Gumby. :)

I think it's time I join the legion of this great, relatively rare color.
Hopefully this will suffice. (Sorry for double posting this pic it's just my favorite yellow shot at the moment)

(http://i.imgur.com/j3ExhG1.jpg)

Much respect to you, DBTD for your awesome collection work on the Raven. 

Gumby, always a fan of your collection to the point where I may be a bit jealous... ;D

And SL, your costume's getting better and better.

Great pic, Solstice Lacer. I'll say once again, that's a great costume. The SY Sentinel that you customized looks great, and you managed to take a decent shot of a hard to shoot blade color, so kudos for that.

Agreed.  Sometimes it'll look orange or really white depending on lighting and camera output so kudos to you once again, SL.

Mine usually comes out pretty white, even the spill off. :(

Thanks guys  :) it's quite a full juicy yellow in person, but as you mentioned slightly hard to capture on camera

That is an amazing pic, very much getting that Ventress look right, sort of a 'wandering exile semi-Jedi but not necessarily so nice' kind of look like the Jedi watchmen of old.

Thanks very much Lord_S_Gray, a great description of the vibe I was going for  :D

Dang SL, love this pic and that saber. Thanks for the share. Point.

Ya Lacer!! That’s bold!!!! Yellow and proud!!!

Thanks DBTD and Gum  :)

Really awesome costume, SL.  The costume's coming together really well and I like the vibe that I'm getting from it.  An exiled-Sith turned semi-Jedi that's good but not incredibly nice about it

Really like your pic Solstice, very nice yellow and your cosplay and choice of background really all work very well together, kudos!

When Edon gives you respect, you've done good Solstice especially with someone with an impeccable collection as his.  :D

Much appreciated  :)

Color thread contribution

I'm digging that crossguard in SY, DBTD!  Did you order it like that or did you customize it?

That's AS w/ 642- Half Mustard Yellow LEE filter. The Crossguard in AS was one of my favorite purchases. Once I took the claws from under the side blades it was so much easier to handle.

Oh wow. I can’t even tell it’s a filter man. I dig that color and bet it looks even better in the person. I never thought I’d remove the claws for it so I may get this one instead of the Flamberge

I managed to get my Lee 101 - Yellow to show up nicely in the mirror

I did it, Gumby. I also like the power button, have some that I've ordered myself along with others.  It looks great

Great sabers SL, Purp, and Gum. Let's me get you all a round of points on me. Cheers to the Yellow Legion.

Yay points!! I blame Sci-fi. I never had a thing for yellow until he talked it up so much. Now I can’t live without it!!! Point back your way Bone...

Hi everyone, this is my first saber as Sentinel v5 LE with SY (the other one is a mystery saber I got with it). Both blades are Heavy Grade, seems like UEHG is best with yellow. First image is from my Redmi phone and the other two from my mother's iPhone. The colour differences are interesting.

I'm just curious about something while I am on here. So, I ordered my saber with a group of friends, originally in Adegan Silver Tri-Cree but mentioned in the comment SY if possible. Is there a way I can check if I received a tricree SY, a regular SY or is it just not possible (I've been looking at the forums but came to no conclusion? What happens to the remaining money I had spent?

Either way, my next saber will be an Adegan Silver Tri-Cree with a filter. Is there any sort of LEE filters equivalent here in Australia? The swatchbooks I've seen range from $50-150 that would be the $2 designer editions in the US. I've just bought random filters from eBay having expected a Adegan Silver.

Beautitful Sentinel LE V5, Everae. 

Hey there Everae. Nice yellow, and looks like a mystery box arbiter, awesome.

In answer to your question(s), as far as I know, SY is made by mixing red and green with an RGB (red green blue) led unit. I believe this means your saber has 3 leds, but only 2 of them are used to make the color. I'm not positive about this so maybe someone who has one can chime in.

Normally SY would be ordered by picking a $5 color and then $5 in requisition charges. If you picked a $15 color then you might want to check how much you were actually charged for the order and contact customer service if necessary.

As far as finding filters I would try an internet search "lighting filter swatch book". I found a 2 dollar roscolux swatch book with 35 dollar shipping to Australia. Not great, but better than $50. Maybe you can find a better option. Best of luck, I love my tri silver saber.
