Standard and Premium sabers have Xeno3 boards. In baselit you get the amazing functionalities of Xeno3 but with a baselit blade that's lightweight and super strong, made for dueling. Some functions of Xeno3 cannot work with baselit blades as they are made for neopixel. |

MOST POPULAR With the neopixel blade you will enjoy 100% of the amazing funxctionalities of Xeno3. The neopixel blade with high density LED is so much brighter and more consistent than baselit. This is what most people and collectors choose. |

Upon receiving your lightsaber be sure to IMMEDIATELY check it out thoroughly. The electronics are covered by the warranty but the dueling usage of the sabers make it impossible to provide warranty for a defect of the blade after your start using it. So be sure to check the quality of all the elements when you receive them.
Safety instructions MUST be read before operating your lightsaber.
