Title: What Is The Arctic Blue Brightness In Bright Daylight On Ultraedge Midgrade? Post by: DaSode on April 05, 2016, 02:13:19 AM What Is The Arctic Blue Brightness In Bright Daylight On Ultraedge Midgrade? I am waiting for my saber to ship and I was curious how well it would work when I am out playing with my saber in the hot summer and spring days.

I am waiting for my saber to ship and I was curious how well it would work when I am out playing with my saber in the hot summer and spring days. Said it before, and I shall say it again as I will never grow tired of this beautiful color.Arctic blue is very clearly one of the brightest, most brilliant sabers, both in Ultra Edge or standard Midgrade. It really depends on the kind of effect you want from your blade, honestly. Visually, they're not very much different from each other. The ultimate question is: do you want a more "full" look to your blade? Or do you prefer a bit more of a translucent, "flashy" look? TL;DR AB is one of the few colors that looks brilliant in either :) Title: Re: What Is The Arctic Blue Brightness In Bright Daylight On Ultraedge Midgrade? Post by: DarthXero on April 05, 2016, 05:28:49 AM I'll go ahead and post a couple of pictures to give you an idea of what you'll be looking at (although, on camera the blades don't look all that difference, but the subtle change in light is there)
Keep in mind these were taken late afternoon/evening in a well lit room. This is what you'll get with an Ultra edge (http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb478/iXero93/273_zps3ol3bzbh.jpg) And with Midgrade (http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb478/iXero93/276_zpstgalhkyx.jpg) It all comes down to your preference, really. I have a slight lean toward Ultra edge myself, but it looks brilliant either way :) Title: Re: What Is The Arctic Blue Brightness In Bright Daylight On Ultraedge Midgrade?

You won't see much of the color in conditions like that anyway. The sabers aren't bright enough for direct sunlight.

Post by: Obese Wan Kenobese on April 05, 2016, 07:47:02 AM I've got a red that looks great in the dark or a WELL lit room, but nothing withstands the sun light. The color is still apparent, just no longer making any illusion of being a lightsaber.
Title: Re: What Is The Arctic Blue Brightness In Bright Daylight On Ultraedge Midgrade? Post by: Karmack on April 05, 2016, 04:26:41 PM Agreed. That being said, Arctic Blue still looks like it is lit up and mine at least come across as very pale blue in sunlight.
I think the Midgrade blades look better in the sun, they at least look like silver blades and not wayward fluorescent light tubes...

If you want it to be used in direct sunlight you may want to get a colored day blade from elsewhere.
