Loved the Review.
When I was first thinking of buying from Ultrasabers (way back when), it's always been in the back of my mind to get a Silver blade, just for the sole purpose that you can have virtually limitless color options, especially because I would be one to use two of those disks at once and try to get all kinds of dark saber colors, haha.
Now, I realize that cameras do not, and that's a big do not, accurately represent these LED lights.. unless you've got a nice high quality camera.. but even then, it's still much different in person, totally different effect.
As far as which filters seem better.. Personally, I don't think there's a more suited filter type from one or the other. Lee filters and the disks US supplies both look amazing, and I would want to mix the both of them if I ever got the chance ^.^.
All in all, this is a very nice thread though, I've been wanting to see what the color disks look like since I heard about them... and again, cameras cannot capture the beauty of these lights.
I still want to see an Adegan Silver blade, never seen one in person, but I believe this would be one of the most fantastic colors, even though it seems "plain" to others.

Deleted it for you man! Thanks man. Idk why it won't let me delete or modify my old posts after a certain amount of time. Anyways for those curious google lee filters and go to there website. Then go to contact us, and at the top there should be something about purchasing a swatch book at the top. Click on it and fill out your info. And make sure to enter SWATCH when it asks you for a coupon so you can get it for a penny. Hope that helps others if they're curious about getting these. |

Oh - just in case this is helpful; I asked Lee Filters themselves about the swatch book. No response. So I promptly forgot about it, then it turned up in the post a week later! Maybe it helps to be cheeky?

Great review - almost makes me wish I'd made my Prophecy blade silver instead of CG! No matter, all the better an excuse to order another saber down the road  LS points for you! |

Their distributors might. See if there's any in your area and call them or stop by. I was lucky and found a used swatch-book on Ebay for $7, with shipping. I'm SO going to try this with the Adegan Silver Bellicose saber I bought my brother, and see how it looks. If it looks good, I might do that for my next order.  |

@DarthGM. I just got my Lee Filters book and for free. So they definitely work with Adegan Silver? Sorry. This part of saber coloring I'm a noob at.  Getting me an Aeon V3 for this purpose though and with a standard Mid Grade blade. Thanks for the info on the Adegan Silver and Lee Filters. they are great. =] Got some Jedi and Sith colors picked out. I'm going to try one of the light black filters too to see if it gives a black blade effect. |

Make sure you use Lee Filters though, as they have the best color quality and brightness. I got my swatch book for 5 dollars somewhere online, but I’ve heard that you can get them for free. The annoying thing about these filters though is that you have to cut them yourself and getting the right size and shape can be difficult.
Do you know if there is anything that makes Lee filters better than Rosco or Gam color? I have Rosco and Gam books from when I used to work in theatrical lighting and figured I could use them. Or were you just meaning that the Lee filters are better than the ones that came from US? Thanks! |

I haven't tried those other companies, so better than US. |
