TOPIC: Hero RGBA

I'm planning on saving up to upgrade my saber to the current Hero specs, because when I got it last April the Hero specs were different. And so I wanted to ask how the RGBA works. Is each color going to be 12W or would it be a tradeoff of brightness for multiple colors? I love the idea of having all the colors and just having to twist the hilt, but I want my saber to be as bright as it can be. And if I need to I suppose I could get the QDs instead?

There are four 'colors' in the RGBA module. Red, Blue Green and Amber. Each of these colors are 3w. That means that the only way to get a real 12W color would be to turn all of those four colors on, which would result in a whiteish orange.
Two colors (purple, for example) would be 6w. A single color (red) would only have a brightness of 3w. Hope that explains it |

You would be getting basically 3 watts of color from each diode but you can always mix say two diodes at maximum (255) and have a 6 watt bright color or you can put them all up to maximum and get a weird silver blueish white. To answer your question, yes RGBA is sacrificing brightness for the unlimited color options... basically millions of color options/ |

Thanks guys! I'll probably go with just one color or the QDs, I favor brightness over color options.

Just clarifying what you said. |

I explained it fine.

There's nothing wrong with both of you answering, especially since Kresnik didn't say "exactly what you said" Can always be nice to hear it two different ways. |

I like to hear things explained in different ways. So having two people answer the question in slightly different ways was good. Exactly what I needed.

I would agree with that. I'm the same way, having things explained (even if it is the same thing again) in a different manner is sometimes very helpful. In this particular instance, I learned something new about the RGBA options as well. So, thanks to both of you guys for your responses!
