Have no personal experience, but I will say this much:
I have no idea what they're using as a battery solution nowadays, no idea what they're using for LEDs, the only thing I know is that their sabers are made heavy and only ever as stunts.
For the money I'd be happier grabbing a Vader's Vault "Combat Class" saber with sound and plenty of room for my imagination to run wild with coloration and potential sleeves for the hilt. _________________ I have but three words for you:

My lightsaber came from Advanced Light Weaponry...
As can be seen, it's a stunning lightsaber. It is equipped with both light and sound. Bob took my design and merged it with practical details and he added a lot of engraving.
This was a fully custom build. it took eleven months to complete and cost me just over $1,000.00 US. As a relevant detail, ALW was the only place willing to tackle my lightsaber design and that counts in its favor. Bob was good with communication but a bit slow in the construction. Despite that, I was, and continue to be, thrilled with my lightsaber. If you don't mind the possibility of a wait I recommend ALW's work. |

Between myself and my wife we have 3 AWL.
Bob is an amazing designer .. He builds what i consider peices of functional art.
You will never see anyone holding the same exact saber that you would order from him. He does have a line of generic custom sabers that each have their own little differences ...
The build is durable , and is a saber that you can easily pass from one generation to the next ... _________________ Tell my tale to those who ask, tell it truly, the evil deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.......... the rest is silence |

Here are three of the AWLs that my wife and myself have ....
Upon our request he created a inset activation switch to allow for a streamline design....
He sabers are a work of art, that are unique to the weilder .. I asked for something that looked like a lacquered katana sheath ... my wife went for a similar design but in blues and purples ...
and well often i am grabbed to play the part of a sith . so i grabbed a red just for those times when i need ot be bad ..

He does indeed do nice work. I have two of his lightsabers. The one pictured above is my lightsaber of choice. The other one is a static hilt.
