Is there a filter that would transfrom Fire Orange into Pyrestone Orange?

I'll give it a shot, but it won't be as bright as the regular Pyrestone. I'm currently waiting for my new set of Li-Ion batteries Deep sent me cause one of the batteries in my Shock LE Fire Orange were faulty, so I'll give it a shot when they arive. |

Basic clarification: So you order these swatches and then cut out circles of the material to place on top of the led in the blade?

Yup. That's how it works. You should be able to cut at least 2 good circles out of each color swatch from the swatchbook.

Yep, I usually hold a US color filter disc against it and cut a octagon out around it, you can get about 3 from one swatch page |

So excuse me for being such a noob, but do you take the blade off to put the filter's on? And would an old Eisenhower silver dollar be a good estimate of size I'd need to cut out? (Also I just ordered my filters. Can't wait for them to get here, though it'll be four or five days.) |

So far it's been really difficult to achive the pyrestone orange with fire orange without it being too dim. So excuse me for being such a noob, but do you take the blade off to put the filter's on? And would an old Eisenhower silver dollar be a good estimate of size I'd need to cut out? (Also I just ordered my filters. Can't wait for them to get here, though it'll be four or five days.) I would either use the Ultra Sabers color discs or trace around the bottom of the blade to get the right size, it's alot easier than I thought it would be. |

Love this topic and pics. Thank you so much for doing this. I just received a Lee filter swatch book and am not sure on how to apply it to a saber. Could you maybe show a quick tutorial on how you cut and installed the swatches? Thank you once again for doing this thread.

The filter pages are big enough for trial and error 2-3 times if you happen to mess up the cutting out part, but I just used my blade base as a guideline to trace a circle around and then placed it beneath the blade in the hilt. Pretty sweet color combos and surprisingly many of them do not dim the brightness much at all!

Can you play with the various reds? I'm looking for something in a deep red/blood red.

Sorry for being away and not answering any questions for so long,I was down and out with pnemonia and stomach ulcers for a while, and more recently planning my wedding and house hunting, but now I'm back. If anyone has any more questions or requests on filters I'll try to answer them.

And for Taun and Kham, here is yellow orange, I achived it by using a Burnt Yellow and Millenium Gold filters x1 each. A very great color IMO.  I'm digging that color! Very, very nice yellow!  How can you buy these filters..?
Go back and read page 1... about halfway down. |

SPN,
Great thread point for you. Just ordered two of those swatch books to play around with later and it was only $7.36. Love some of the colors you have posted thus far.
Just a curiosity question, how long have you run the saber with the filters in and have you found there to be any heat issue on the filter from the LED? I saw on their sight that some were made for high heat sources like stage lighting and such, but was wondering about the films that came in the swatch.
