Duelling with a lightsaber is one of life's great joys. If you want to get serious about lightsaber combat we highly recommend a hilt with baselit electronics over neopixel installs. We also suggest you request a heavy grade blade in your order notes which is 50% thicker than the standard baselit blade. Neopixel blades are only available in one thickness. Why? Neopixel blades have hundreds of leds along the length of the polycarbonate tube. The polycarbonate is tough and if you hit it forcefully enough it can even bend a little without breaking. The wires connecting all those LEDs inside are metallic and more brittle which means that heavy contact could cause them to break. One other consideration. If you have purchased a saber with a thin neck e.g Luke ROTJ or OWK EP3.5 etc, please note that the narrower neck section may not withstand heavier duelling and the blade is also not held in by as much material which can cause damage if used inappropriately.

Empty sabers come with just the hilt. No electronics. Installed lightsabers come with a few items depending on the chosen hilt. All sabers include: An instruction manual A blade A tool kit with blade retention screws and an allen wrench A USB charging cable or external battery charger Replica SN Pixel/Proffie sabers from TXQ include: A blade plug A display stand Xenopixel/Proffie sabers from Nexus include: SD Card Reader

Absolutely. Unless you purchase a clearly marked empty hilt or stunt saber, all the sabers have a soundboard which contains several themed sets of sound effects called sound fonts. Sabers with SD cards support customisation of the sound fonts so you can remove fonts you don't love or even add new ones that you purchase/acquire elsewhere. You can read more about the different electronics options in our comprehensive guide.

We have several electronics options from both manufacturers available and have developed a comprehensive guide to help you understand the differences and choose the best option for you. Click here to learn more.

Baselit Blades are available in 58, 66, 82 and 92cm length. Neopixel Blades ae available in 66, 82 and 92cm lengths. The default blade length included with all purchases is 82cm with the following exceptions: Padawan Pack includes 58cm blades. RGBS4 electronics come with 58cm blades The Ahsoka set contains one 82cm and one 66cm blade

We have access to the full catalogue of sabers and accessories from both TXQSabers and Nexus Sabers (LGT). As there are hundreds of models we do not list them all in our store, but we can provide a quote for any saber. If you have a certain look or character in mind we may be able to source one from our manufacturers. Please reach out to us at sales@jwsabers.com.au with the details of the saber you are interested in and we will get back to you with more information and a quote.

The blades are made from durable polycarbonate tubing in either 2 or 3mm thickness The hilts are primarily machined aircraft grade aluminium but this does vary. Some hilts come with plaster or leather components. The electronics are installed in a plastic chassis that fits snuggly in the inside diameter of the hilt. This helps provide shock absorption and to keep all components secure.

Each saber has 1-4 retention screws. They come in a small plastic bag with an Allen wrench and occasionally other small items/parts. Identify the locations for the blade retention screws on the emitter section of your new hilt. If you prefer, you can begin to screw in the retention screws before inserting the blade. Ensure the blade retention screws are not inserted so far that they form an obstruction. Pixel Blades. Insert the blade until it makes contact with the pins in the emitter. The pins are spring loaded so if you look carefully, you should be able to observe the blade can push a tiny bit further into the emitter (1-2mm max). This should not require excessive force. Base lit Blades. Inset the blade until it makes contact with the base of the emitter. Identify which is the primary blade retention screw hole. On some hilts, it makes no difference however these are the things that can help identify one as better than the others. If the emitter is angled, the best retention screws are on the short side of the emitter. Screws in the middle of the blade recess are ideal, but if the choice is between one near the tip of the hilt, or closer to the pixel/LED connector, choose the higher one. If there are two screw holes in alignment vertically, this can provide the most secure blade install by using both. With the blade pushed in securely, insert and tighten one blade retention screw until it makes contact with the blade and then tighten it approximately a half turn further. If your hilt has multiple blade retention screws, you can install more however you should avoid any that are more than 90 degrees apart. (watch the video for an explanation) Do not overtighten the screws. The blade should be secure when lightly tugged. Video Guide:

Safety and Warranty note The included cable/charger should be used with a 5V power supply outputting no more than 2A. Exceeding this amperage will void your warranty and potentially destroy the electronics inside the saber. Modern phone chargers often have much higher amperage, do not use one you are not sure about. Most computer USB ports are okay but should be verified if you are unsure. External recharge port These sabers have a visible port on the outside of the hilt. It is usually located near the power button and may be a USB-C or a 2.1mm DC port. These saber come with a compatible cable with a USB-A connector on the other end. Internal recharge port Same as for external recharge ports except you must first open up the hilt to locate the recharge port. For most hilts, this will involve unscrewing the lower grip section of the hilt, but please refer to the instructions included with your saber purchase, or reach out to us if unsure. No recharge port If your saber has no internal or external port you will need to remove the battery and charge it using the included USB powered single cell charger. After opening the hilt and removing the chassis if applicable, turn the hilt/chassis so the battery faces down. Gently tap the hilt/chassis on the palm of your hand to dislodge the battery gently into your grasp. Do not pry the battery out with tools as you may damage the battery or connectors.

There are a few different ways that you will be able to tell when your lightsaber has finished charging. For external chargers, the led will simply indicate green for charged. For sabers with illuminated power buttons, most will flash slowly (breath) while charging. When this stops, the saber is charged. Many of the sabers will also play an audio file such as "Charged" or "Ready" to inform you they are charged.

In the lightsaber community, baselit is used in reference to lightsabers that are illuminated from a single light source located in the top (emitter) of the hilt. Most baselit sabers these days have a powerful RGB LED which enables colour customisation as well as other simple blade effects by briefly changing the colour of the blade Pixel, on the other hand, refers to string LED technology installed along the length of the blade to create dynamic and customizable visual effects. These blades are composed of individual RGB LEDs (pixels) that can be individually controlled to display various colors, patterns, and even animations. With pixel blades, you can achieve effects like blade scrolling, pulsating, ignition and retraction effects, and much more. They often offer a higher level of visual customization and are popular among enthusiasts who enjoy personalizing their lightsaber experience. Pixel sabers often have a selection of predefined effects leveraging the functionality of the pixels. More advanced soundboards like the proffie permit users to code any combination of effects they can think of.

Yes. If your soundboard has an SD card slot you can add an SD card or swap out the current one. Most soundboards only support SDHC format so large cards won't actually be compatible. Generally 32GB is safe and should give you plenty of space for soundfonts.

If you will not be using your saber for some time, remove the battery and store it in a safe, dry place away from temperature extremes. This will protect the battery from being inadvertently drained below safe levels and ensure it is ready to go next time you want to use your lightsaber. Avoid fully charging the battery prior to storage. If you have recently fully charged the saber, you can lower the battery voltage by igniting the saber for around 10 minutes.

The saber may be muted. Check the electronics page for your saber if necessary. For one button lightsabers, turn off the blade, then hold the power button for 0.5 seconds or 1 flash/beep to change the volume preset.

Please take a look at the answer to How do I connect the blade? in the New Owners section of the FAQ. If you are unable to resolve the issue, please contact us for assistance. We may have specific information for your particular hilt or request further detail to rectify the issue.

This is likely a low battery issue. Please charge the saber for at least 1 hour and try again. Note it can take up to 4 hours for a full charge. Removing and reinstalling the battery may fix the problem if the issue is not related to low battery.

Open the saber and check the battery is making proper contact with the metal tabs. If unsure, you may be able to adjust the tabs so that they press firmly against the battery when it is inserted. Remember when reinstalling the battery which side is positive and orient the battery accordingly.

Check the Blade mode Most of the soundboards we sell have a ghost or Blaster mode which can make it appear as if the blade isn't working properly. Check the instructions for your soundboard and cycle the mode to ensure it is in a mode that illuminates the blade. Check the connection Pixel blades have a connector on the bottom which makes contact with pins inside the emitter of the hilt. If these connections are not established and/or maintained, the blade cannot function properly. Turn off the Saber and remove the blade. Check both the end of the blade, and inside the emitter for any obstructions. Avoid forcing anything else inside the emitter as it may cause damage to the connector. Ensure the blade retention screws are backed out so they do not form an obstruction. Insert the blade until it makes contact with the pins in the emitter. The pins are spring loaded so if you look carefully, you should be able to observe the blade can push a tiny bit further into the emitter (1-2mm max). This should not require excessive force. With the blade pushed in securely, insert and tighten all blade retention screws until they make contact with the blade and then tighten it only a quarter/half turn further. Do not overtighten the screws. The blade should be secure when lightly tugged. Turn on the saber and ignite the blade. Unresolved If you are still having issues, please contact us detailing the problem and steps you have taken. Make sure you include the details of your saber and electronics and your order number so we can look up the details.

This is a bug with the iOS app. There are two methods that should fix the issue. Keep refreshing the MAC Address Repeatedly press the scan button in the app until the address changes from all 0s to a real address. Once the address is corrected, press bind. Edit the Saber name Remove the SD card from the lightsaber. Connect the SD card to your computer Edit the Bluetooth name of the lightsaber in config.ini which is inside the setting folder. You can edit it to any name, just need to change it. Reinstall the SD card in the lightsaber Power on the lightsaber Try connecting to the app again

For SNPixel4: Any time you change the lightsaber colour, ignition or blade effect it is save to the sound board. It does not overwrite the settings in config.ini so you can have a mismatch, even if you edit config.ini manually later. You can view each soundfont parameters using the ForcePark mobile app and restore them manually one by one. Alternatively you can perform a factory reset via the app. See the FAQ on how to perform a factory reset for guidance.

The SNPixel has on board memory where it saves your configuration modifications for each sound font. This can mean your lightsaber behaves very differently to the config.ini file you see on the SD card. To reset the settings to default, connect your lightsaber to the Force Park mobile app. In the bottom menu bar, select the symbol on the right. Select Factory Reset. The lightsaber should disconnect from your mobile device after a few seconds and then reconnect shortly after. If it does not disconnect, unbind the saber manually from the app. Once reconnected, the settings will be restored to match the config.ini file. Note: This will only restore the configuration file to it's default. If you have deleted sound files they will not be restored via this option.

Before moving your battery take note of the battery orientation. in 99% of sabers, the battery will have the positive side pointing towards the top (emitter) of the hilt. If in doubt you may observe that red wires are connected to the positive battery terminals and black wires to the negative terminal. We can also provide guidance if you are unsure how to install your battery.
