Well that's great news Knytiri! Thanks for the info!

Being in France myself, I knew the time would come to wonder about this issue once my very first SF order will have been made ;)

Hi. I only just found out about saber forge and i have a question about the 12w light thing.
How long does the rechargeable batteries last before they have to be recharged again?

That varies depending on several situations, but on average, you can expect about 4-5 hours of runtime for a warrior, 3.5 - 4.5 for a champion, and 3-4 for a hero.

Edit: To clarify, runtime means the saber powered ON. If you have it off, or only on periodically, it'll last days, even weeks.

Well... he might have done a forum search and got tired around page 11 of the search returns and gone to facebook to save time. Aaaand he probably forgot to check this wonderful, exhaustive, eternally useful, comprehensive, well written, and devishly handsome FAQ.

Thank you so much for this splendid FAQ. However, could you add the "nightlight" option on to the FAQ? I've only seen it mentioned a couple of times.

FAQ has been updated with a couple new sections (Details on the new custom shop, the suggested nightlite update, and some important to remember notes on wait times.) Thanks everyone for the kind feedback, and keep new ideas and suggestions coming. This grows based on your feedback! :)

I ordered my first Champion Tier 3 sabers a few days ago. I have been doing a lot of reading here about stuff in general, so that I can learn about these wonderful sabers. I have maybe some stupid questions about the in-hilt recharge,

(1) Is it as simple as plug the charger into the built-in / in-hilt port to recharge the battery?

(2) Can we also switch on the saber when it is charging? For example, I might want to leave the saber on permanently as a light source for the room AND have it charging at the same time.

I don't want to mess around with removing the battery and I am too lazy to do that. That's why I want to be clear on how to charge Champion Tier 3 with in-hilt recharge. Is it just as easy like charging say an iPhone? :P

1 - Yep, it's that easy.

2 - nope. the charger also acts as a killswitch for the board, so it can't be turned on. This option is only available on warrior tiers, in the "nightlite" option.

Thank you sir!

On a separate topic (after reading your excellent summary on page one), I have just sent Etsy-Saberforge a question on whether it is still possible for me to upgrade from 12W LED to 12W+. Maybe my sabers already have 12W+, I just don't know and certainly did not know about 12W+ until today. I wonder how much brighter 12W+ is compared with the already super bright 12W.

I have contacted Etsy-Saberforge about this. Saberforge very promptly replied that the new 12W+ LED , while not officially released, is available and gave me instructions exactly as per the summary on page one of this thread. The new 12W+ is "...much more focused LED which produces a brighter beam of light down the blade, resulting in far more even illumination, clear through the tip. It's also more energy efficient ... ".

I have upgraded to 12W+ , now I am REALLY excited! :lol:

Thanks! :lol: I am impressed with Saberforge's customer service so far. It's been great. There is so much passion in the sabers they craft and the service they provide.

2 weeks ago I made my first purchase. I knew nothing about the process and the issues that others were having. 23 emails later and another saber purchase I have to say that I'm totally satisfied. All my emails were answered in a timely fashion, many of my concerns were clarified either thru correspondence or just searching the Forum! Thanks to everyone who has and will be involved with my 1st SaberForge experience.

I realize this is probably a stupid question, but do you get an email when the order is finished and actually shipped?

As much as I may like the USPS webpage, I don't really feel like refreshing it every few minutes.
