If you’ve been exploring custom lightsabers, you’ve probably come across the terms Xenopixel, Neopixel, and RGBX.
At first glance, they all look similar — bright blades, sound effects, and smooth swings — but under the hood, these sabers work quite differently.
At BespinSabers.com, we often get asked which one is “better.” The answer depends on what kind of experience you want — cinematic realism or classic reliability.
Let’s break it down 👇
💡 What Is a Xenopixel (or Neopixel) Lightsaber?
Xenopixel (and Neopixel) sabers use LED strips INSIDE the blade.
This means hundreds of individual LEDs run along the entire blade, giving you:
-
🌈 Unmatched brightness — The entire blade glows evenly from base to tip.
-
⚡ Realistic ignition & retraction — The light travels like in the Star Wars movies.
-
🔊 Advanced sound effects — Xenopixel cores sync sound and light in real time.
-
🎨 Dozens of color profiles and effects — Flash on clash, blaster deflection, unstable Kylo effects, and more.
At Bespin Sabers, our collection includes fan favorites like:
-
Luke V2 (from 168 USD) - our alltime bestseller!
-
Vader (from 296 USD)
- CRYSTAL OLED - with a high quality mini display (from 219,99 USD)
👉 Perfect for collectors, cosplayers, or anyone who wants a movie-quality experience.
🔦 What Is an RGBX Lightsaber?
An RGBX lightsaber uses a single high-power LED in the hilt (not in the blade).
The light shines up into a hollow blade, creating a simpler, more durable setup.
Here’s what makes RGBX great:
-
💪 Durability – Built for heavy dueling without worrying about LED damage.
-
🔋 Longer battery life – Less power drain compared to Xenopixel.
-
💰 Lower price point – Ideal if you’re on a budget but still want a quality saber.
-
🎮 Simple operation – Easier for beginners to use and maintain.
At Bespin Sabers, our RGBX sabers are battle-ready, affordable, and still pack impressive color customization
