i m new here ..i m interested in buy a light saber...electric blue blade and a black hilt..blade 36" . can any1 plz suggest which 1 can i buy..and maybe at a bit reasonable price. and wat Accessories to buy with that.


I'd suggest getting a Dominix V2 in Guardian Blue. http://www.ultrasabers.com/DominixV2-p/dominixv2.htm Though you should compare the pictures of the colors (shown on that page if you scroll down, I believe) to be sure Guardian is what you want, as there is also the lighter Arctic Blue, and the more purple Violet Amethyst. I'm not sure which of those three would best suit your wants, since I've seen a couple different things meant by 'electric' color, but I'm sure one of them is at least pretty close to what you want, and I can tell you from experience that the Dominix V2 is a great hilt to use. (I own one lol)

P.S. I have to ask.... you don't know  LINK do you? (seriously, we have another member here named LINK. lol)

It really depends on your price range. For a nice 2 hander at a good price you could go with a Dominix V3 LE in Guardian Blue stunt saber (no sound) Or if you want a few different selections take a look at the Dark Standard Issue Battle Saber, Dark Liberator, or even the Overlord would look sweet with Guardian Blue.

You say a black hilt with blue blade... I will do my best what I would buy and still stay reasonably cheap.

1st thing.. these things in my opinion are coolest with sound... and as such you should take a blade that you can at least put sound in later. If you don't care about sound a grab bag is cheapest. But you don't have a choice in black hilt then.

That said...

Lets check the options...

The cheapest black hilt that can have sound is the Initiate v3. It doesn't come standard with the 36" blade as it is a small hilt. Dual wielding and younglings would love this. Dark Initiate v3 = $59.99 but should be elongated with another pommel and a bigger blade.

The second choice that comes with 36" right out of the box is the Dominix v3 ($69.99). Only $10.00 more but way more usefull for all styles.

Lets check how much that cost...

Without sound but ready for option.... And as cheap as possible.

- Blade/LED color : Guardian Blue
- Blade Option : UltraEdge
- Pommel : Dark Catalyst Pommel
- Battery Conf. : Li-lon Setup
- Sound : No Sound
- Flash on Clash : No Flash
- Tip Type : Round Tip
- Blade Retention Screw Wrench : Sure!
Total : $120.99

or...

- Blade/LED color : Guardian Blue
- Blade Option : UltraEdge
- Pommel : Dark Catalyst Pommel
- Battery Conf. : Li-lon Setup
- Sound : Yes, Obsidian USB Sound
- Flash on Clash : No Flash
- Tip Type : Round Tip
- Blade Retention Screw Wrench : Sure!
Total : $215.99


You can actually do without sound but sound ready first... then send it in laters using the points you got from teh first purchase and get the sound added.

Hope this helps.

I missed this when ordering my first saber, my fault since I signed up when I ordered  Tongue

It's very informative, has relevant links and is kept concise and factual instead of opinionated.

LS point awarded for this, great job!

Thank you for the informative thread!  This was one of a few threads that really made learning about these sabers a breeze, and of course led to me placing my first order! Grin

32" or 36". 24" is good for dual wielding, staffs, and short people though.

Not sure if this has been covered, I have not found an answer, but looking at certain hilts I notice that sometimes you do not have the option of specifying what length blade you want, and some do not have the option for an AV switch.... How would you get one of these options on certain hilts?

I have seen pictures of Ravens with AV LED illuminated switches, but when I go to the Raven order page there is no option for AV switch, and no option for blade length that I can see on the order page either  Undecided

For hilts that do not have the option to specify what you want, just place the request in the "Order Comments" field during checkout. I order all of my blades as 32", and I just add in the comments field to shorten the blade. As for AV switches, when you choose what Sound Configuration you want, you can choose the AV switch you want. I'm looking at the Raven right now and it's there.

Has anyone made a chart showing what colors are brightest?  Both in lumens, as well as in apparent brightness (I've heard that green often looks brighter than red even at the same lumens).  And does the order of what's brightest change if you change blades?  i.e.--If green is brighter than red, is it always brighter than red, no matter what blade you use (assuming the red & green are always using matching blades).
