Looking to Customize the Renegade LE

[JudgeArcadia]

So Ive been eyeballing the Renegade, and I really wanna make the already badass saber, even more terrifying. So in my mind I would love to swap the emitters for the Glaive's emitter, but I just need to know how feasible it is.

The other thing is, how well does the color disk show? Because sadly the lack of a purple light color for the side blades is criminal, though I kinda understand why. Is there a good work around option for getting that also?

The problem with the side blades in a color like purple is that it's a mixed color, two LEDs running in parallel. Each LED draws 3W of power. Six LEDs running in parallel would draw 18W. As far as I know, there's no soundboard in existence that can run that off of a single pad. That's also why you can't even get a Tri CREE with a crossguard; too many LEDs running off of a single pad. I'm assuming the power draw would also be considerable in a stunt configuration, not to mention the amount of wires needed, since they don't offer those for that either. I've never wired a crossguard, I just know there are limits to the number of LEDs that it's feasible to run at once. I'm assuming you can't afford either an Emerald or a Diamond board, since that will allow you to have your blade colors anything you want. (the RGBW/A setup doesn't run all those LEDs off of a single pad)

However, there is good news. The color discs actually have a really nice purple, if you use both purple discs at once. Both are kind of wishy-washy on their own, but the two together give you a pretty decent purple. Very similar to Violet Amethyst. If you really want it to show, I'd recommend a clear blade.

As for the emitter, I don't see why a War Glaive emitter won't work on it, at least for the main emitter. The side emitters might be an issue due to the "blades" that are under each emitter. Those are machined to fit with only those emitters.

Hello and welcome JudgeArcadia,

Something like this, it is all AS Renegade LE with Lee color filters and Li-ion (you definitely want li-ion), but Scifidude is right the two purple color discs should work. This  is a heavy hilt and DWG emitters on the side don't work with well the wings underneath and add significant weight. You have to take off the claws then reinstall them once the base of the emitter is screwed in.
It also has black o-rings on the handle to improve the grip

Aha well thank you both for the information and for the images. I was honestly just unaware of the emerald and diamond controllers. Ill have to look into them, but if thats with the discs, than that is more than plenty for me

I was looking forward to your Renegade, DBTD

Wow DarthBone, that deep purple color looks so sinister. Yikes

That's my favorite color for it by  far.

Those pics DarthBoneTD posted are with Lee filters, they're professional photography filters. They'll give you much better colors than the color discs will. They're not very difficult to come by, you can pick up a swatch book for not a lot of credits on various websites.

Again, that’s for the info, I will look into those also!

Are they easy to put it?

Yes very easy, you can cut them in perfect circle or just cut them in 3/4" strips and place it on the LED then put the blade back in.
