BaseLit Vs Neopixel Lightsaber for dueling

[@thebenji8653]

Bro, that's a cheap fully lit lightsaber from Amazon. That is NOT a Neopixel lightsaber.

[@Haylion]

@@thebenji8653 I’m not being condescending but did you not hear my explanation? A neopixel blade is literally a strip of LEDs. Google it. Either way, I have other videos where I test other neopixel lightsabers.

I'm 39 years old and I just purchased my very first light saber. It felt like a childhood dream come true. And if anyone were to say anything negative about that, then they just don't understand our love and passion for Star Wars. Don't let the naysayers bring you down. Great content sir.

I'm 38 and just bought my first one. I'm 12 years old again, my friend, and it feels excellent.

[@LightsaberCulture]

I've actually had a real world argument for neopixels for dueling. I had my trainer drop his baselit and kill the one blue tri-cree LED. So now his colors are limited. With a baselit, you only have 3 LEDs and each one is necessary to create all colors. A neo pixel has 80-100 LEDs on average. Sure, you can break one or a few, but the majority of your blade is still illuminated. I have yet to break a neopixel blade with weekly sparring with my trainer.

[@TheMorfeus2]

but the way neopixels work kind of defeat that theory, since breaking just one LED in the chain will kil all LED's after it. So if you break the first LED, and only that one - no lights at all.

[@PCPDJar]

@@TheMorfeus2 No, damaging one LED in the chain will not kill all the other LED's as those LED's aren't necessarily "damaged" cause they're well protected, it's just a solder point that actually takes the hit cause of physics

[@TheMorfeus2]

@@PCPDJar Well, yeah, it won't break them, but they won't work. Since neopixels are 'daisy-chained' together - I.e. the second one connects to the first one, third to the second, and so forth, breaking the connection at any point will 'kill' the rest of the chain - as in make it not light up at all.

[@MilleyD17]

@@TheMorfeus2the connection isnt broken just the light itself. If u damage the strip with the wire then ur theory occurs but the led being damage doesnt effect the current

[@shagrat47]

​@@MilleyD17You are aware an LED is basically a tiny crystal illuminating under current and is very, very unlikely to break, anyway? The LED-strip's electrical connections are the weak links. And that's what was mentioned. Solder points, wires, sockets LEDs are typically killed by too much voltage, EOS/EOD from spikes in current overheating the LED.

[@infinity_fade]

dude i cant believe you did it, thank you so much for this! the neopixel is way more durable than i thought it would be, but i can still see why companies wouldnt recommend it and stuff. seriously appreciate you doing this, thank you! i might just get a neopixel since i wont ever be dueling that hard, and not having tip-drag is a trade off. and about the people talking badly about star wars, enjoy it how you want to enjoy it. everyone will enjoy things more than others, like weight lifting, running, or sword dueling, anything, keep your preferences. dont change because someone told you to, change if it negatively affects you

[@Haylion]

Oh we’re not done until something breaks 🙂 I was surprised too! It doesn’t show on camera how hard I’m actually hitting that pole. The blade ricocheted and flew all the way back.

That’s cool! Going as a specific character for Halloween? Or just Star Wars theme? Either way will be fun. It’s cool and personal to have your own lightsaber around 🤓

[@Haloplayer-yx8hn]

Main take away from this im getting is. Go baselit if you intend to duel pretty consistently (im thinking daily type deal), or have a budget. But you can absolutely put the money in for Neo if you dont intend to duel consistently (holidays or maybe even weekly.) And want that extra flair.

[@Haylion]

I still haven’t broken mine Nsabers.. but that’s not to say they’ll never break. Neopixels are my favorite 🙂

[@havoc_64]

I would venture a guess that the reason the neopixel is flashing it the contacts at the emiter are losing a connection. Love the message at the end. May the force be with you as well. I subscribed!

[@Haylion]

@@havoc_64 I have a full video of that neopixel on my channel and that flashing is the “flash on clash” effect in that particular lightsaber 😆 It’s a cheaper neopixel. But I do test all price ranges and have videos of those lightsabers as well on my channel.

[@ConflictedJedi1]

I’m getting some baselits soon and I’m excited bc I’m getting them specifically for dueling and now I know that I can do some pretty heavy dueling

[@Haylion]

@ConflictedJedi1 watch some of my newer videos if you want to see what neopixels can go through also.. they’re pretty tough (your mileage may vary). My discount code at Nsabers is now 15% so my codes can save people more money! You don’t have to buy whatever you don’t want to buy. I’m not trying to sell anyone anything. Just trying to give people options but also being honest and showing real results. Merry Christmas from my lightsaber collection to yours 🎄

[@SergeantG18C]

Neopixels are safe for dueling only if the other lightsaber is the same type of blade as well. If you're smacking a neopixel against a hollow thicker baselit blade its more risky

[@Haylion]

@@SergeantG18C how so? 🤔

[@SergeantG18C]

@Haylion If a neopixel that's 1" wide with a 2cm thick wall goes against a hollow 3cm thick wall over time, it just wouldn't hold up. But if the thickness and composition of the blades are the same less force is reverberated

[@newhappiness4410]

The blade survived but the hilt sounds damaged like it’s short circuited. Great test though on a different type of pixel connection

[@Haylion]

I’ve also tested the “standard” pins connection neopixel blades. Full video on my channel. Please watch til the end 🤓 you might be surprised!

[@scottmcclary594]

Ive said it for years even tho I just got my first neopixel lightsaber, these aren't the master replicas ones that get dark spots in the blades if you look at them wrong... the materials alone that make a neopixel blade are infinitely more durable! That direct plug in method is what I want to do with my luke v2 build in doing, blade depth has been an issue since day one for thin necks I don't know why they don't just eliminate the pins and go with a direct plug in to the bottom of the blade!

[@The_apprentice_of_revan]

It'd make more sense wouldn't it? The pins are more likely to fail anyway

[@Haylion]

Difficult to say 😖 out of all my testing, I’ve had both fail..

States at the beginning that he does not recommend dueling with a neo pixel lightsaber blade( without giving us insight or reason why), then fails to break it! Even when it looked broken it had just come apart! Lol

[@YorelNurad]

Seriously though, Heads up for those looking to get into lightsabers. Neo pixel blades are very strong and actually designed for dueling hence thick foam padding inside for the LEDs. However I would agree with your recommendation. From over a decade of experience with lightsabers, I have observed that the base lit blades are better for striking because they have no LEDs in the actual blade to go out and then make the saber look ugly and ruin the effect. Less chance of the effect being ruined in the base as the LEDs take less vibration and impact in the hilt. STAR WARS FAN FOR LIFE!!! This is the way and may the force be with you all!

[@Haylion]

Did you watch the whole video? (No worries if you didn’t) When I took the pixel blade apart, I said this is what we don’t want to break. Also, if I recommend people to duel with their pixel blades and they break their lightsabers, they will blame me.

interesting video, I was indeed curious as to the durability! I just ordered my first lightsabers and I went all baselit because I was reading & seeing that it was safer/more durable for dueling, but I was also seeing that at least some of the good neopixels these days are supposed to be fairly resistant too, at least for some light dueling. So indeed, seems they can take quite a beating as well! btw, thanks for ur msg at the end, it's sweet & wholesome, and big hugs to u, im sorry u've been affected by those things🥹🫂💚

Of course you can duel with it, Star Wars Theory repeatedly smashed his against a rock and a tree. Threw it up and down some concrete steps and ran over it with his truck. You will not break these.
