Our first saber in Tri-GB just arrived and I've already noticed something interesting:
Tri-GB in the standard AAA setup, while noticeably bright than single GB in the same battery setup, isn't noticeably brighter than single GB with Li-ion battery setup.
I only noticed the difference in photos, especially when using photon blades.
Tri-GB on the left, GB with Li-ion on the right:
And I further tested Tri-GB and Tri-AB with photon blades:
I specifically took these photos with UEHG blades since those have the highest potential to dim light.
What I found is that Tri-cree is great for pushing the light all the way up the blade in heavy grades, but there just isn't a significant difference between Tri-GB in AAAs and single GB in Li-ions.
I also noticed no significant difference between Tri-GB and Tri-AB when it comes to using photon blades. Both are equally bright but the AB adds just a bit more green saturation to the human eye that doesn't seem to be captured on camera
