Before you make that wish come true, there are a few important points that will help you find the perfect model for you.<br \/><br \/><\/p><hr \/><h3><br \/>What do you need your Lightsaber for?<\/h3><p>The most important question before you buy is: <b>What should your Lightsaber be used for?<\/b><\/p><ul><li><p><b>Collector piece, display \/ decoration & cosplay:<\/b> If it\u2019s mainly about the look, impressive effects, and presenting it\u2014and you don\u2019t plan to use it actively in combat.<\/p><\/li><li><p><b>Dueling & action:<\/b> If toughness is the priority and the blade needs to handle harder strikes as well.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p>Your decision here significantly influences the choice of blade type and electronics!<br \/><br \/><\/p><hr \/><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><h3>The Blade: RGB or Pixel?<\/h3><p>This is where you\u2019ll see the biggest difference in performance and price:<\/p><h4>RGB (\u00abBaselit\u00bb or In-Hilt LED)<\/h4><p>The LED is located in the hilt and illuminates the hollow blade. Since there\u2019s no electronics inside the blade itself, it can\u2019t be damaged.<\/p><ul><li><p><b>Benefits:<\/b> Extremely <b>durable<\/b>, ideal for intense duels and <b>more affordable<\/b>.<\/p><\/li><li><p><b>Drawbacks:<\/b> Less dynamic lighting effects and reduced brightness.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><h4>Pixel (Neopixel LEDs)<\/h4><p>LEDs are built directly into the blade along its entire length.<\/p><ul><li><p><b>Benefits:<\/b> <b>Breathtaking, realistic lighting effects<\/b> (realistic \u00abextending and retracting\u00bb of the blade, high and even brightness across the entire blade, huge wow factor).<\/p><\/li><li><p><b>Drawbacks:<\/b> More sensitive to hard hits and more expensive.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><b>In short:<\/b> For <b>Action: RGB<\/b>.

It requires a bit more setup and must be programmed by yourself. If you\u2019re not afraid of that and want maximum customization, you can fully individualize your Lightsaber thanks to countless online tutorials and resources. With us, Proffieboards can be ordered separately or together with the Lightsaber.
