With the introduction of our first plasma fighting 
							saber back in 1999, we have been pouring our 
							engineering talent into creating a true duelable 
							blade system that is also as bright as a plasma-type 
							blade: The results are the HyperBlade™ system! Our 
							new blade system features a “brighter than plasma” 
							scrolling light effect along with an extremely 
							durable blade assembly. We have not compromised on 
							the development – resulting in an ultra-bright light 
							effect that can also undergo the rigors of play 
							dueling!
Our blades feature ultra-bright LED 
							technology in a HyperFlex™ engineered light assembly. 
							This results in a 3-5x brighter blade than some of 
							the other technologies, and in fact making it 
							brighter than plasma for some colors. HyperBlade™ 
							also features a DualCore™ protection system for 
							maximum durability, allowing the saber to undergo 
							spirited dueling without risk of damaging the blade!
							HyperBlade™ also features never-before-seen 
							functions in a saber blade, such as our novel 
							ClashEffect™ light feature (which can be synchronized 
							with our sound boards) and a proprietary CorePulse™ 
							ambient light effect for creating real movie-like 
							blade lighting.
							The HyperBlade™ system also went through rigorous 
							tests to quantify its durability during saber play. 
							Check out our gallery for videos demonstrating the 
							durability research phase of the HyperBlade™ system.
							Here is a table of the HyperBlade™ features versus 
							competing saber blade technologies:
