6W and 12W Difference?.... 9 months 2 weeks ago #21036

Hello!
I'm looking to purchase my first saber, and I'm wondering if I should go with the 6W, or the 12W? I want to get the Apprentice - Disciple, I'm trying not to spend too much money, which is why I'm not getting mine with sound just yet. Is there a major difference between the two watt options? Is it worth it to spend the money on the 12W, or is the 6W just fine?

Any help is very much appreciated!

From the oh-so-helpful FAQ:

Q - Is the 12W (or 12W+) upgrade worth the price?

A - Short answer: Yes! Absolutely it is. Long answer: Depending upon which tier of saber you select, it can also have an impact on the battery used for the saber. If you're getting a warrior tier saber, the 6W is powered by AAA batteries. You will end up spending more than the $30 12W upgrade price in no time at all in batteries with this set up. The 12W warrior comes with the 18650 rechargeable, tho only the Bane currently offers an in-hilt recharge port for the warrior tier. The increased power draw does not impact battery life in a hugely negative fashion; the 12W LEDs are just more powerful, and capable of doing more. For example: hero tier sabers only offer a 12W LED.
