TOPIC: Examples of a 6w Royal Blue and 6w White mixed

Anyone out there mix these two colors in their Hero tier (not talking about RGBA) if you have any chance you could post some pictures please?

Just curious as I'm trying to make decisions on my next saber. My hope is that it would make a light blue and that FOC would be white. Any help appreciated, thank you.

I believe that SF Light blue is a color mix of 4 Blue LED's. Not sure how "light" of a Light Blue that you are looking for, but I would stay in the Regular Blue range with the white for the FOC. So essentially a color mix of 3 Blue and 1 White.

Cyan is quite light ( and my personal favorite) with a color mix of 2B2G. There is also the Arctic Blue which is a color mix of 2RB2G

If you fancy the royal blue, I'm sure the white will lighten it, but I don't know that it would make a "true" light blue. My guess is that it would bring it to more of a light medium blue. Medium blue is a color mix of 2RB2B.

You can also ask them to make a custom Light Blue for you with the White FOC.

Here are my Blue examples:

12w+ Cyan





Custom 12W+Arctic Blue - color mix 3LB1G

just ordered an artic blue acolyte thanks for posting the pictures helps reaffirm my color choice

Woah. That's an awesome custom Pheonix! Got any more pics or a link from where it came from?

Keep in mind that my Arctic Blue as pictured above is a custom 3LB1G. Standard Arctic Blue is 2RB2G. So there may be some color variation, but still a lovely blue nonetheless.

Thank you. It was a custom order that I commissioned from Justin at the Custom Saber Shop. I haven't had the time to put together the video review just yet, but I intend to. I don't want to high jack the OP's thread with pics but I have other pics on the Forum in a thread I called "The Iron Phoenix".

I found it and I gotta say; that is one hell of a custom. What a beaut!

Thanks!

thanks for the info good to know for future orders

Thank you, untimely yes I want a FOC white I think. I know when you ask for a Hero tier they ask for 2 colors (not RGBA) just curious what that 3rd color would be when you mix the 2 6w colors together.

Someone also said that the 3rd color would be washed out by the white I guess. I do appreciated the help though.

I'm inclined to think something along the lines of an arctic blue.

Yeah that's what Saberforge told me via their Facebook messenger but was told differently by a customizer. I looked at my current Champion Arctic Blue and there are definitely green LED's present.

When it comes too color light I'm at loss it seems because I'm more familiar with paint. Even after looking at a light color spectrum I'm unsure. Well ultimately next Friday I think I'm going to bite the bullet and place my order then hope for the best.

I had looked into getting another soundboard installed but it would have been $250 and limiting me to the colors I already have and if I sent my hilt back to Saberforge it would have been $400 so I think why not bite the bullet and order another with a coupler. At least then I'd have the option of a double saber to mess with or sell my other Champion Arctic Blue Sinister Prophecy.

Here's a digital mockup - Blue and White can make a light blue, but it'll be a bit less saturated than a Cyan or Arctic Blue.



After doing my own research on LEDs, I've heard of aquarium builders mixing Royal Blue and Amber LEDs to make a natural-looking White light. Perhaps you could get a Hero in Deep Blue and Amber for a brighter white FoC than just a White channel on its own.

Thank you this has been very helpful. Sadly I may not be purchasing one now. I wanted to let you know I greatly appreciate it, but I'm currently questioning whether to go forward with the company. Hopefully if things get resolved maybe I'll get too see what that combo would be.

I'd still love to see someone post that combo in a video though. Surprised it hasn't been already.

mi considering getting the 6w sabers, since i am ordering 4 of them, an additional $30 each is a whole new saber.

So i am choosing 4 sabers instead of 3. I was thinking of getting one with a 12w just so I can see the difference myself for future orders.

Love the saber and love the color of the LED! Not trying to hijack the thread, but I had a quick question regarding your custom Arctic Blue color, how did you go about asking for the custom color to be made? Did you just ask Justin at the SF Custom Shop to make it for you? I'm in the process of commissioning a Graflex 2.0 with Shameem and I'm torn between a 12W+ Arctic Blue and a Tri-Cree XP-E2 B/B/W. I'm wanting flash on clash, but I'm not 100% sold that I'd like the green flash that would come with the Arctic Blue, and I have no experience with Tri-Cree LEDs so I'm hesitant on both color and brightness (still researching haha). Thanks for your help!

Well placed the order so guess we'll see in 4 months.

Update: Correction now my replacement saber has been changed from the 2 week turn around to 8-10 weeks. Oh well, so much for a quick turn around.
