Awesome saber man! It is totally cool to have a stock saber that you have put your personal touch to in order to make it quite unique! Especially when it is something as fantastic as an Archon, which is a great saber even in stock form!

You have my congratulations, and my envy!
Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

Found this review for a custom Guardian with a brass AV switch, so I went ahead and sent Justin an email to see when I might be able to send this hilt in to have that replaced.

With a brass switch on here, and a couple other color LEDs, I think I'll be perfectly happy with how this came out. So darn close that it's a bit frustrating, but definitely my own fault for not realizing the default switch type was illuminated, or specifying that I wanted the switch this way. I even went back to my original email request and I detail every other part EXCEPT the damn switch (covertec, kill key, blade plug)... oh well, you live and you learn. I'm going to make sure I clarify non-illuminated AV switches on any future saber orders. I don't think I would ever want it lit up even if I did like the color.

Salacious, I've got a Reborn coming with a 12w+ Purple QC led. I might be willing to trade for your Indigo if you're interested!

To be honest, it looks like you received either a purple or even pink LED unit, or if it is indigo the royal blue LEDs aren't working properly. If it isn't too much trouble, could you take a picture of the LED shining at a wall without a blade or plug?

BZArcher, I think I'm wanting less red in mine, and going to purple would be moving the wrong direction if I understand things correctly.

Jaden, here's a pic of the Indigo LED with no attachments shined against the wall.

The Archon is next on my list. Damn you got yourself a nice saber. What do you guys think, should I get one in indigo or amber? I wanted to have it in a really Royality color suited for a king or emperor.
Light and darkness, you cannot have one without the other. To achieve equilibriem you must be in harmony with both; the path between.

Go both in QCs and add a Frost White to it while you're there ;)

Man that's a beautiful saber! I'm waiting on my archon to come.
I asked for it to be weathered on etsy so I'm hoping it comes weathered but if not I'll still be happy as it is such a good looking saber whatever the finish.
It's A Trap!

Gotcha!

If you want less red, it might be worth talking to the custom shop if they could wire you up something with 3 blues and 1 red, maybe? Or even go to the deep blue.

If my understanding is correct, the Indigo is already 3 Royal blue LEDs and 1 Red LED.
The above post may be subject to editing. A lot of editing.

that was my understanding of the indigo LED too, and why I had set my other RGBW to that same ratio to get an idea of what it might look like. I was hoping for a deep royal/tyrian purple like you might see on a crown royal bag... didn't come out that way, but that was my hope. Looks more like a light lavendar in person.

I just ordered cyan and blood orange LEDs for this hilt (or others) as well... done sulking about the mistake with the indigo LED. Only thing left to resolve is the switch, and that'll happen in due time.
