How much brighter is the 12 watt blade than the 6 watt blade?

Is the upgrade worth the money?

I wish I had two different pictures of the same saber using 6 and 12 watts! However, if you go see my Epoch review (12W) and my Viper review (6W), you might get a little idea!

Yeah, cant get the attachments to work or links to show up but it is noticeably brighter and worth the 30 bucks.
Sabers I own:
Champion 12w yellow Epoch
Champion 12w green Fury
Champion 6w green Epoch
Hero RGBA Acolyte

6w saber on the right:



Hopefully that works. These sabers are off of a fresh charge and the camera does not do it much justice. In person the difference is quite noticeable.

It would be nice to see the LEDs in the store in terms of Lumens as well so we could gauge the output of each bulb.

  • The Jedi and the Sith are both a lie. The force is both, life and death. Good and evil. Black and white. May the forces be with us.

Trust me, it worth the extra dollars. If you get a apprentice saber, get a 12w LED you can save money that way. I did that. GET THE 12W LED!!!!!!!! :P
I have a Acolyte Champion Purple 12w LED.
Soon a Disciple!!!

Does the 12 watt LED sabers bother your eyes? Like sensitive to light?

Staring at a 12W LED in the barrel will probably blind you, but with a blade in, the light is never shining directly into your eyes, so it shouldn't bother you.

Oh good, I'm at 6 weeks post Lasik ever since then bright lights (such as car headlights) has been a little bother to my eyes & was debating weather I should get the 12w or 6w.

Tho I test out my lame Force Fx Darth Vader lightsaber last night and that wasn't a bit bother lol

Been there and done that. I had LASIK done about 2.5 years ago. My light sensitivity went away after about 4 or 5 months. Hopefully you'll be as lucky.

If for no other reason, I feel like 12W is worth it just for the battery upgrade. But being brighter is also a good reason. =]

Forgive me. Upon closer inspection of the available options I find that I may be wrong. It does indeed state that champion 6W's come with a charge port upgrade. Sorry bout that.

Might wanna wait for a forum heavyweight to give their two cents on that one.

I wouldn't have been surprised if I was wrong. I've only know about SF for a couple months now but thanks for the info :)

Yeah, same here. Hopefully someone with a little more insight can clear this one up for us. You've got me all curious now.

I didn't see you say which tier you were getting. Yes champions come with Li-Ion upgrades even with a 6W.
