I'm looking into buying a 12 watt Arbiter hilt but I wanted to know if anyone had noticed a difference in brightness between the 12 watt elite hilts and the 12 watt elite sabers. I personally can't see a difference in the stock photos, but I've come to know, cameras lie...

It's the same internals - a 12W LED from SF is a 12W LED from SF.

Brightness shouldn't be any different between Apprentice or Elite sabers. Only difference is with thin neck sabers, which are about 10% less bright than standard sabers owing to the thin neck.

If it makes any difference to you, warriors are brighter than champions or heroes. So if you're REALLY looking for brightness, there's that. Not a whole lot brighter, but you lose some power to your soundboard and AV switch(es).

Just throwing it out there.

this hadn't occurred to me, but now that you mention it, it makes sense. I still want sound, just feel costume wise it wouldn't be as impressive without it. But good to know, none the less

Yes, MIraluka is correct. in terms of absolute blade brightness, 12w warrior > 12w champion > 12w hero.

As a proud owner of both a champion elite and a champion apprentice with the same watt power and the same color, I can confirm that they're both as bright!

Hope this helps!
