So a bit of an update. I was told by saberforge that I did indeed get the 12w. They have yet to tell me that is normal for my blade to be that dark. All they keep saying is that the thin necks are dimmer. They have yet to address the piece that fell out.

I followed Mario's suggestion about checking for a round light. This is what I got. It is brighter than this, but the pic gives the best representation of what I'm seeing. I believe that is a dead spot.

Yeah that looks kinda funky. I'm not at liberty to say if that's normal or not. I feel like we're Princess Peach right now just waiting for Mario to come save us.

I just got a champion exhalted in a trade, 12w, deep blue. My blade is definitely brighter than your pics... especially the daytime one. It is dimmer than my gladius or Disciple, however. I think you may have a faulty led.

Can you share a photo of your LED projection like Moe posted? Just for comparison.

Mine isn't a thin neck but this is my 12W green. Pretty solid beam.

Here's a shot of my exhalted projection:



And for comparison, here's a shot of my disciples projection, in the same led strength and color:

Yeah. :( I would email SF and include either a link or the comparison images to give them a clear idea of what the problem may be. That's just my thought process tho

I sent saberforge an email today with the pic I posted yesterday notifying them I was sending it in for repair. They responded promptly apologizing for the malfunction and that they will repair or replace the LEDs.
I guess I should have done that from the start instead of asking if the condition of mine was normal.

Really happy you gave us all a follow up, I was so bummed out when I saw how dim it was. I'm not sure if you said what blade size you chose, but you should try a 32" blade if you haven't already. From what I've heard, the shorter blade makes the saber seem a lot brighter than what it actually is. I just emailed them today asking if I could change mine from a 37 to a 32 lol
