RGB vs. Neopixel
**RGB Baselit:**
- All electronics and functions contained within the hilt.
- Hilt-based lighting illuminates PVC blade from inside, creating a glowing effect.
- Entire lightsaber lights up simultaneously when turned on.
**Pros of using a Baselit model:**
- Lower upfront cost for the lightsaber.
- Blade is more durable and cost-effective to replace due to absence of electronic parts in the blade.
- Longer battery life attributed to a single powerful hilt-based light source.
- Packed with features like smooth-swing, flash-on-clash, motion control, blade effects, making it great for heavy dueling and cosplay.
**Neopixel:**
- Neopixel blade incorporates multiple LEDs throughout the blade.
- Brighter than RGB Baselit blade but uses more battery power.
- Many neopixel sabers come with upgraded batteries.
- Blade lights up progressively from base to tip, mimicking movie-like activation.
- Offers additional pulsating effects not found in Baselit versions.
**Proffie Neopixel:**
- Advanced version of neopixel core.
- Enhances neopixel with superior sound quality, more blade effects, and a wider range of colors.
- Includes SD cards for high customization and programmability.
