Hi there,
I'm really interested in the new Graflex saber yet I still have some questions before buying.
1) I have read the flash-on-clash option makes your saber get a 10W RGB LED instead of the normal ones. Now, which one is brighter (even if it's just a little difference, please don't sa they're equal) - 10W RGB or Seoul P4/Lux Rebel Star? Secondly, if it's the case, by how much is the saber's battery life reduced if I get the FoC? And what exactly is the "pulsating" of the blade with FoC? - does it simply pulsate in the original blade color?
2) I'm getting the impression Arctic Blue is the closest thing to the blue lightsabers in the SW movies. Is that true? And, as the AB color is produced by more than one LED of different colors, by how much will the battery life be reduced if I take this color compared to, say, Guardian Blue?
3) Is the wobbling issue in the Graflex saber already 100% resolved? Is the saber now completely, I am at a loss for an appropriate word, sturdy? I don't live in the US so sending it back for whatever reasons would be quite a nuissance. On a side note, is it true that the "blade set screw type" choice is a strictly cosmetical one, without any relevance in regards to stability?
Thank you very much already! It's great there is a forum.

1. If 2+ Diodes are connected (for example Arctic Blue, Violet Amethyst, SRD, SY, BH, etc) then mathematically the 10W RGB is brighter. If only one diode is connected then mathematically the Seoul P4 is brighter. By seriously, you need to be looking with some kind of special light absorbing tool to see the difference. They all look great.
2. With 2 fully charged 3.7V 14500 batteries I've been able to leave a AB saber on for 2+ hours constant on time (turning the saber on and off takes more power) before it starts to turn greenish.
3. It is resolved. Set screw choice is cosmetic beside the fact that socket screw are much easier to remove and re-insert and fully tighten.
