Before you fulfill this wish, 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 buying is: <b>What do you want your lightsaber for?<\/b><\/p><ul><li><p><b>Collector&#8217;s item, exhibition \/ decoration &amp; cosplay:<\/b> If you are mainly interested in the look, impressive effects and presentation and do not want to use it actively in battle.<\/p><\/li><li><p><b>Duels &amp; action:<\/b> When robustness is a priority and the sword needs to withstand even the hardest blows.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p>Your decision here will significantly influence the choice of blade type and electronics!<br><br><\/p><hr><h3> <\/h3><h3>The blade: RGB or pixels?<\/h3><p>This is where the biggest difference lies in performance and price:<\/p><h4>RGB (&#8220;Baselit&#8221; or In-Hilt LED)<\/h4><p>The LED is located in the handle and illuminates the hollow blade. As there are no electronics in the blade, it cannot be damaged. <\/p><ul><li><p><b>Advantages:<\/b> Extremely <b>robust<\/b>, ideal for intensive duels and <b>cheaper<\/b>.<\/p><\/li><li><p><b>Disadvantages:<\/b> Less dynamic lighting effects and lower luminosity.<\/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>Advantages:<\/b> <b>Breathtaking, realistic lighting effects<\/b> (realistic &#8220;retraction and extension&#8221; of the blade, high and uniform luminosity over the entire blade, high wow effect).<\/p><\/li><li><p><b>Disadvantages:<\/b> More sensitive to hard knocks and more expensive.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><b>In short:<\/b> For <b>action: RGB<\/b>.

It is popular, powerful and user-friendly &#8211; ideal for beginners, but also for experienced Jedi and Sith. <\/p><\/li><li><p><b>Proffieboard:<\/b> This is the high-end board for maximum customization. It requires a little more training and you have to program it yourself. If you are not afraid of this and want maximum customization, you can completely individualize your lightsaber thanks to countless online tutorials and resources. Proffie boards can be ordered separately or with the lightsaber. Contact us for your individual offer.    <br><br><\/p><\/li><\/ul><hr><h3> <\/h3><h3>The handle (Hilt): Design &amp; feel<\/h3><p>The grip is purely a matter of taste, but it is important for the feel when holding the sword:<\/p><ul><li><p><b>Design &amp; ergonomics:<\/b> Choose a design that you like and that fits well in your hand &#8211; especially important if you want to swing it! Replica lightsabers are not always the easiest to handle due to their many details.
