For those on the fence about Adegan Silver...

[haydendavid380]

I received an Apprentice V4 in AS out of one of my mystery boxes. I was really hoping to try this color one day because I was always curious about the color discs. I've got to say I'm pretty blow away with how good these look, especially since this is just a single LED hilt. Take a look for yourself.
 If you've been thinking about trying Adegan Silver.....



Here my AS Apprentice is on the right with a single blue disc. Came out to a very nice Arctic Blue. My wife's Aeon in Guardian blue is on the left with a single red disc. The colored LED's are noticeably dimmer than the silver, I'm still recommending they would be nice to have with any color saber for the added versatility.


Here is a single purple disc. A nice violet amethyst.


Two red chips made for a nice fiery red


A green and a blue made something close to SRD


and lastly two yellow discs made a color as bright as a "Rey" of sunshine....or a color to guard the Jedi Temple 



These are so handy and easy to use. Well worth the minimal cost!

Very nice, but you missed the obvious option... the beautiful silver blade itself! Where's that picture?

That's the first picture I posted of that hilt, it was just in a different thread

Very nice.  I just ordered a Dark Apprentice v5 in AS + discs for my wife.  She's not as enthusiastic about sabers as me and our boys, but I'm hoping that having one of her own will change that. She's also a Libra, so while she has said she wants DVA or Bane's Heart, I know how easily she changes her mind or gets bored with some things. So AS + discs should be a good way to keep her interested as she can change the color when she gets bored with one. I'm sure I can get close to DVA or BH by mixing 2 discs

Something else I'm starting to notice, and maybe someone with BOTH single and Tri-cree AS + discs can confirm, but it appears as though you get a richer color with the SINGLE AS, not the Tri-cree.  This makes sense as the Tri-cree would be brighter and therefore "pushes" more light through the discs, making them look washes out.  Single LED AS, otoh, being slightly less bright allows the discs to block more of the unwanted color (ie not the color of the disc used) and thus may be richer.

The colors in these photos almost confirm that for me as the vids/pics I've seen with "washed out" color are all using Tri-cree, while the photos here don't appear to be and are single AS
Makes me wonder if color discs were INTENDED to be used with Single AS, but everyone's been using Tri-cree and getting washed out colors.

I wanted to try a silver blade but I was hesitant too. I finally made the choice to get one and yeah, a powerful and beautiful blade in its own right. My son just ordered The Fallen in silver and it'll be his first silver bladed hilt. As for me I'd order a hilt in a silver LED again.

I was thinking if you're so inclined, to add some of your pics with your hilt and colour examples to my Adegan Silver colour thread. This would give more variety for people to check out with a silver LED with the Apprentice hilt you chose for it. Plus it'd freshen the feed  . Up to you, here's the link to it -

Also, the reflection on your TV shows a better, more even color than a direct view of the blade does. As you can see with the lamp in the reflection, which looks yellow compared to what your eye will see.

That's a good hot tip, chalion.

I'm actually one of those weirdos who thinks AS looks great standalone at times, ESPECIALLY on darker and more intricate blades. a Dark Mantis with AS would be beautiful

I ordered an Empress with AS, with the intent to go yellow or orange. The bonus option being I can change the color as I see fit if I get bored. Now however I’m thinking of keeping it AS. I got a silver button, silver etching, and a silver pommel. Plus plans for other silver bits. Starting to think keeping the blade as such may be awesome.

I still got the filter book so I’m gonna play with colors no matter what.

Nice! Excited to see it

I feel this exactly. I am enjoying playing with my filters. I like the silver for day to day use, but I cannot argue the wonderful effect of adding a red filter to make it a little less harsh on my eyes in the darkness of the night. Someday I might stop being lazy and post a picture or two.
