Good morning,

Other than soldering in a new color of LED (which I don't know how to do) are there any other ways anyone can think of to alter my blade color at all i.e. filters/lenses? I currently have red LED's in both of my sabers. Any information would be greatly appreciated and may the Schwartz be with you!

Filters would be the only way to go. You can buy them from US tho I heard they were meh. People have recommended LEE Filters swatch book

With a red LED, you're not going to be able to do much aside from swapping out the LED.  Soldering isn't all that hard, it's a pretty worthwhile skill to learn if you're interested.  If not, you can always shoot me a PM, and we can discuss switching it for another color.  I do that kind of stuff all the time, so it would be an easy job.

In my experience, dayblades can alter a red LED saber better than color filters but still red is very hard to change.  You can get dayblades with or without diffusion film from others.  I usually get them without to save money and just roll some cellophane inside for the diffusion film.  Of course nothing will beat swapping the LED, in which case I would also add quick disconnects for continued future swapping.
