Haha, thanks! Vader is my favourite after all, and any force point is welcome Tongue
And I really recommend the graflex, I have nothing but good words about it XD Just holding it in your hand makes you feel part of the star wars universe, like the real deal

I'll definetly add it to my Wishlist.
Though I think I might try Arctic Blue on mine for that ANH look.  Cheesy

In the pictures it looks super bright.  Shocked
I assume Arctic Blue will be pretty bright too since there are two diodes making the color. (TRI being 3 diodes.)

From my point of view, I have the high ground!

Yes, apparently AB is inbetween GB and TRI GB in terms of brightness - though, I suspect it'd be a little brighter than TRI due to it being a lighter blue.

Eventually when I get one, I'll have to do a comparison next to my regular GB.
Though that probably will be a while. A Flamberge is next on my list. Cheesy

Wow, great pictures! I am very impressed with the brightness of the Tri-LED, might have to take that into consideration for my next purchase.

Yeah, you're probably both right since the white diode is bound to provide a lot of brightness, I might have to consider that with future purchases! (also, please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't arctic blue also have a bit of green? Not as much as sunrider's destiny, but just so it's blue, white and a slight green glow. If so, it could be even brighter! I should try that on an emerald XD)

Thank you! =) Yes, that was also my reaction, not thinking it would be that bright when I actually purchased it. Probably even more noticeable with reds, since red is usually a duller color, and a TRI would probably do it justice!

I read somewhere that Guardian Blue + Consular Green = Arctic Blue. The 3rd diode is for FoC I think. (Correct me if I'm wrong too. Definitely try it on a Emerald though!)

Will definitely try it on emerald! Veered soon, definitely using this May the Fourth sale to get an emerald. I'm also getting colour discs to try if adage silver from an emerald also works with discs Tongue

It will, though I don't see the point of using a Emerald for color discs.  Cheesy

That's totally fine, everyone has his/her own preference. Plus if you're not a big fan of flash on clash, you get both sound and super brightness, so it's a win-win for you!
So would you mind showin us what it looks like without the covertec wheel on it? Btw great review very informative!

I know XD But I really like the idea of being able to change the color of the saber immediately, and see the effect of FoC with a color disc
