Filters

[Manroon]

I've done it. Sort of. I might say it's more forest green though. lol It's dim, but not horrible. I imagine with a filter as opposed to the standard color disc, it would be brighter. Let me see if I can dig up a pic for you...



Forest is on the left, AS in center, and regular CG on the right. The CG is UEHG, the AS is HG, and the Forest is Mid Grade if I remember right.

Yeah that is dim, but it still looks good. As embarrasing as it is to say, the blade I am using with my CG is a slavaged MR Darth Maul blade! But it works perfectly in my saber, and looks good with the CG. Thats the one I'd like to add a filter too. I also have a US SY blade I'd like to make more yellow orange, (mac and cheese color) Think it can be done?

If not for my current lack of batteries and the, erm, likely damaged condition of my arbiter (related to the current battery condition lol), I would throw an orange disc in there and let you know, but I'm pretty sure that your desired color could be achieved. So long as all you're looking for is a shade adjustment, filters can actually do a fair bit for a colored saber from what I've seen in my (granted limited) experiments.

What did you do to the Arby?!?!

[Manroon]

Nothing, it's just the one saber out of my collection that seems to be cursed. lol Actually, what it is.... well, you remember that embarrassing story with the exploding battery a few months ago? Inspection of the saber after said incident revealed some burnt wiring. I've not used her since, for fear of accidentally damaging the board, LED, puck, or another battery. I plan to just take it all down to parts and rebuild it myself when I have the skills and time. Should make the weathering I want to do easier, and allow me to add QDs at the same time. Poor little Armitage, she's been through a lot for such a young saber... lol

Sent in my request good find.

This is my request.

"I am involved in theater at college. Along with being a video production major in college. I am looking at Apollo Gels for our lightning gel needs. Thank you."

This is true since I am video production major.

I put a request in on the 28th or so and they came in today. There must be about 150 different ones in here. Just waiting on my AS saber to get here to test them fully. Added a green one to my SRD that was just a little too blue for my liking but now its nice!

Anyway pretty fast turn around for them to get here so I imagine others should be receiving them soon too.

[srams]

I requsted mine the 1st or 2nd and I still haven't got am e mail... I hope I get mine...

[JediShadow]

Here is what they look like. I pretty excellent assortment of colors. I'll get new sabers tomorrow so I can test them out. I'll post some pics tomorrow night.

Just got my email saying that they are sending them out and me only requesting them yesterday.

I like how we think alike, get free filters, buy a new saber, much like how I got a free blu-ray, so I bought a blu-ray player lol

I actually ordered the new sabers and then looked for filters. They just got here sooner than the sabers (Which get here tomorrow!)

[Manroon]

Sent in my request tonight. We'll see how it goes!

I told them I work with photography at work, as well as photography and video in a hobby capacity, and sometimes experiment with lighting in those areas, and was interested in a swatch book to see how their product compares in that use. All true.

Though I DO wonder how they would react if I told them the lighting I experiment with in my photography comes from a lightsaber, and that it's the subject of the photo. lol

[JediShadow]

They probably love light sabers and own about 20 a piece and that's why they're in the filter business

[Manroon]

Oh I would love that. Wouldn't it be great if I got an email from them that just said 'Your filters are coming Manroon.... you'd better post a review....' I'd be all like 0_o lol
