So, is the VA really purple, or more of a blueish-purple?  because I've heard mixed comments about it.

VA is purple where as DVA has a more blueish tint to it.  it is still purple but just has more blue in the mix.

It was funny at first My daughter kept saying it was pink and I was saying it was violet and she kept saying pink. I love the color though it rocks. Now I am thinking a prophecy in VA cause your sons Prophecy looks AWESOME!

Thanks man! From certain angles, the colors diffuse at slightly different rates through the film and blade, and it's enough to slightly separate the blend in the colors and a rosy purple does show through (you can actually see both colors in the same spot, if that makes sense at all). It's really, really bright at any rate. I think Bane's Heart is the closest thing to pink, though I've never seen it in person.

My son's Prophecy in VA arrived two days ago, and it is purple and awesome. I'd even argue that it's brighter than my CG! I love my CG, but the VA is equally impressive!



By the way eerockk, there are two reasons the VA looks brighter than the CG. 1 it has a shorter blade, which gives the LED less distance, thus making it brighter. 2 the VA is made with two LED's so it should have a bit more power.

Not necessarily. 2 LEDs are still being driven off the same power source, so if anything, and since we both have the same setup, the VA should be dimmer! The short blade does make it brighter, but when the blades are swapped, the VA is still brighter.

It's the colour wavelength that's causing this. Violet light's wavelength is shorter than greens, and I suspect that the refraction off the blade diffuser with the faster wavelength is the cause. I can't believe I actually relied on my high school physics class for this! That was 18 years ago! Smiley
