RGB Baselit

RGB baselit sabers utilize illumination that comes from inside of the hilt and extends into the blade. The blade is a polycarbonate tube with a special light diffusing film inside it for even illumination. 

These sabers include features such as smooth swing, flash-on-clash, lighting effects, motion control, changeable blade colors and soundfonts (10 soundfonts included), and much more. RGB baselit sabers are a great choice for heavy dueling. 

Neopixel SN 4.0

Neopixel sabers utilize a 50-watt LED strip inside of the blade itself, which allows for maximum illumination. They are considerably brighter than RGB baselit sabers. 

Neopixel sabers are powered by an advanced core that controls the lighting of these individual LEDs. This allows for extremely sophisticated effects not possible on RGB baselit sabers. The ignition sequence is completely animated, including gradual extension and retraction effects (creating a completely smooth ignition), as well as other specially animated effects. 

The LED strips mean that the blade is completely evenly lit, from base to tip, making it as realistic as in the movies. In addition to these ignition and shutdown sequences, neopixel sabers also have various pulsating effects not possible on RGB baselit sabers. The Neopixel SN 4.0 sabers also include 27 advanced soundfonts, compared to the 10 seen in RGB baselit sabers.

Also, our Neopixel SN 4.0 cores are fully programmable in addition to their pre-installed effects. Custom soundfonts, blade colors, blade effects, motion effects, and much more can be added through the 32GB SD card that is included with all neopixel sabers. This gives you the ability to program many different modes into the saber, resulting in endless possibilities.

Proffie 2.2 Neopixel

Proffie 2.2 is the most advanced saber core currently available. It is a specialized type of neopixel lightsaber that includes full customization options, in addition to all the standard effects of neopixel sabers. Proffie sabers have many different sets of light effects, as well as other proffie-specific capabilities. 

However, the best feature of proffie sabers is that they are fully programmable, in addition to their pre-installed effects. Custom soundfonts, blade colors, blade effects, motion effects, and much more can be added through the 32GB SD card that is included with all proffie sabers. This gives you the ability to program many different modes into the saber, resulting in endless possibilities.

In addition, the format of proffie sabers is open source, and it can easily be adjusted. Tinkering with the open source software is easy and fun, and there are many online knowledge bases within the saber community that are focused on proffie sabers.
