So thinking of picking up a Hero tier Epoch weathered with Red & Silver but I'm wondering what happens when you mix them for 12w or is it just red or silver 6w that appear?

Frankly I'm confused on this specific combination and any help would be appreciated to shed some light on things. Videos greatly welcomed as I noticed someone else was asking a similar question but someone answered using a Ultrasaber as a answer. Thanks in advance.

If you get a hero tier saber with two colors (as opposed to the RGBA option) you can either have one of the two 6w colors on at a time or have both mix for a third 12w color.

As for what red and white would look like (I assume that's what you mean by silver), based on my understanding of how LEDs work I imagine it would mix for a really washed out red. I'm not sure if there is a video example of that combo out there, as I've really only seen people pick red and deep blue to make purple (or not realize the shade of blue mattered, go with one of the lighter blues and end up with pink).

I think what he meant was to have the hilt powder-coated with red and silver

Hi makten,

Gojira101 mentions 12W and 6W which refer to the power ratings for the LEDs used in sabers. This is explained in the FAQ's which can be found here:

I hope this helps you,

Ah sorry, I wasn't reading the thread correctly. Still quite early in the morning where I'm at.

Yeah I mean what would the combo of a red LED and a white LED look like. My assumption would be that they look pink but just wanted too see if anyone else knew out there or had stumbled upon an example.

Ultimately I was looking for a saber to stand opposite of my Sinister Prophecy. Which is a champion tier but looking to modify it to have FOC as well.

If I had my way I'd have a 12w red saber that had a 6w white that would FOC white. Too me this would seem appropriate to duels in the Film franchise. It's the only thing else I wish my Champion did too be honest. It's just a shame that I'll lose that intense brightness the 12w provides verses the 6w the Hero tier has.

The current RGBA and standard Hero are great but the way I handle my sabers I would have a tendency to change colors when I rotate my wrist it seems.

Also does anyone have a red/red 6w's and if so what does that look like when it FOC?

Can you have both 6w LED's on as a color or do you have too have either/or?

Hope this is clear enough.

I'm not sure this is really helpful, but here's the pre-set color range of my wife's Hero Reborn.




Color 10 is one I set myself, with all 4 LEDs set to "255" in the on-board menu, which (while it doesn't show in the picture) has a very very slight purple tinge in person.

Also, if I recall correctly, the FOC for the Red setting is orange (color 6), I think?

Thanks for this. I think it would come out too pink color if you mixed red and white. Watched the movies again and have decided that I'll do a red and Amber and the mixed color of the two should be a blood orangish color.

Hopefully I'm right.

Now I just wish my Sinister Prophecy had been hero tier.

When you mix 10 and 1 does it make 2? This looks like my Arctic blue on my Champion but not sure.

You can't mix 10 with anything, as 10 is already all 4 dies running at full. It's already everything mixed together as far as it will go.

Also, I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) the colors, and the die combos for them, in the photo I posted go:

1: Deep blue (Blue die at full, all others off)
2: Arctic blue (dies set ???, probably blue with all others at an equal level with each other)
3: Cyan (dies set ???)
4: Green (Green die full, all others off)
5: Amber (Amber die full, all others off)
6: Blood orange (Red and Amber at equal level, blue and green off)
7: Red (Red die full, all others off)
8: Purple (Red and blue at equal, green and amber off)
9: Indigo (red and blue with blue slightly higher)
10: White/silver

1-9 were the default colors that it came set with. I set up 10 myself just to see what it'd look like.

Your 3rd color will be blood orange, as SF mixes red and amber to make that color.
