TOPIC: Question about RBGA

So I understand how it works but i cant seem to find any reviews on it just people showing it off. I've already ordered a champion Disciple with a dark blue 12 watt with disconnect but now that I've done a bit more research i learned That infinite colors exist with RBGA, currently i have a 12 watt for the brightness factor in my order. My question really is, is it worth it the loss or brightness for the infinite colors or should I just stick with the 12w blue with disconnects and order some extra leds if I wanna switch

Hello Project-v3,
if you're enquiring about a trade-off between brightness vs colour options, I'll refer you to a review by the site admin- Knytiri.
First go to the 'exhalted' title, on the index reviews page and scroll down to:

'Hero exhalted RGBA+'

Pretty sure you'll find a ton of info there to satisfy ya!

Now tell us a bit about yourself on new members intro!

Thanks and I'll head over there soon. That thread definitely helped but i didn't 100% get all the answers I'm looking for.

It'll probably have to be one of those things I need to see in person really I guess pictures and videos don't really do them justice I suppose

Actually quick little questions I already have a force fx vader saber how would an rbga compare to that.

I haven't seen it yet but I will soon. My RGBA 12W+ is on deck and I have a Force FX Vader saber. I can tell you immediately how it compares as soon as I get my saberforge hero tier saber. Hopefully I can you some time within the next couple of weeks.

hmm, most force fx lightsabers are a string of LEDs powered by 3 AA batteries. This gives it the "evenly lit and ignition lighting effect."

The conversions I have seen often comment how brighter the conversion is vs the stock string LED. However, we also find pics and videos don't do the justice for it.

The FAQ explains the Hero tier RGBA. This is just an echo of it. When you order hero tier you are given 2 color options. The rgba LED can be set by your choice. Now depending on which rgba you get:
1. standard rgba 6W + 6W = a different 12W. For example, RGBA 6W Red + RGBA 6W Blue makes a 12W purple

2. standard rgba 3W Red + 3W Green + 3W Blue + 3W Amber. Combined mix is 12W.

There's also RGBA 12W+ which uses the same power and arrangement of colors but it is an LED upgrade. The FAQ explains why it's an upgrade using smaller LEDs for about a "..30% more brightness and evenly lit blade."

I chose the Hero tier because of the options. I can hold the saber and with a flick of the wrist change its color to my setting and then adjust the sound to my preference. A LED module with a single color 12W will be brighter than RGBA simply because of the way it is. I say if you favor brightness then do quick connects with your colors. You only need to get 1 QC color and make sure your next sabers can do the same. Like a Gladius in QC Green + a QC Blue LED this month then a Disciple in QC Red + a QC LED Purple the next month.

The shine of the saber during the day just has to be better than my force fx vader. That would be perfect for me. Either way, I am still happy regardless of my rgba 12W+ comparison with the force fx saber. The colors will be distinct enough for me. Just don't stand next to me with a 12W saber lol

In order to get purple you'd need a royal blue and a red. Regular blue and red LEDs make pink (as counter-intuitive as it sounds). Not trying to nitpick(you're just trying to explain the RGBA option), I've just seen several people buy sabers with a 6w blue and 6w red setup and were disappointed they didn't get purple.

ok based on your guys replys i think I'm gonna go for the RBGA but i cant figure out how to get them to put in 12w+ it doesnt say anything in the drop down menus

12W+ ordering like it says in the Comprehensive FAQ. This FAQ is also updated from from time to time.
Here it is.
