FAQ

Kyberlight Customizable V10 Saber

RGB sabers have 3 saber modes. Standard, Ghost and Blaster. Some sounds fonts default to Ghost or Blaster mode. If you want to change these while the saber is in Standby hold Power and tap AUX. This will change the saber mode.

If you would like to remove all the Ghost and Blaster modes at once you can visit our Updates page and download an update file for your Saber.

It is most likely you have activated Multi Lock Mode, Hold the AUX button for 1 LED flash or 0.5 seconds and you should hear confirmation of exiting Multi Lock Mode. Try to power off the saber now.

Also holding the AUX button will first change a font, keep holding the AUX button and the saber will turn off.

The Kyberlight App is still being developed. Your V10 saber comes equipped with Bluetooth and will be app enabled once we launch. A date has not been set yet.

By default the volume is set to 100%. You can adjust the volume while in standby by holding the AUX button for for 1 LED Flash. The volume will change from 100% -> 75% -> 50% -> 25% -> Mute.

If you would like to lower the max volume all the time you can adjust this in the configuration file. Open the file config.ini in a text editor and change the line that says 'volume=100' to a lower number this will change the max volume of the saber.

To make all the pixel effects work you must configure your blade length for your saber. You can do this by adjusting the line 'main_blade_pixel_led_number=132'. For more detailed instructions click this here.

The button height on the new V10 saber is adjustable.  The two screws behind the buttons are meant to not be fully tight and to raise and lower the button height.  Unscrew them so they are just flush with the saber hilt and the buttons should lower into the hilt just enough to remove the
sleeve. 

If your saber will not charge please follow the following troubleshooting steps.

  1. Remove the bottom half of the hilt and remove the battery, reinsert the battery and try and charge.
  2. Please make sure the two set screws behind the buttons are fully inserted so when attaching the charging chord good contact is made.
  3. If your saber has gone completely dead it will take a few minutes to announce 'Charging' and the buttons will not light up at first. Leave your saber plugged in for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Please use the USB-C cable that came with your saber. Some USB-C cables do not carry power and will not charge the saber.
  5. If your saber 'clicks' or 'chirps' when plugged it it is probably very low on battery. The saber is trying to announce 'Charging' but doesn't have enough power to do so. Leave your saber plugged in for at least 10 minutes and it should continue to charge.

KYBERLIGHT V5 SABERS (OLDER GENERATIONS)

It is very likely that your saber is in button lock mode. This can happen as the color change mode and the button lock mode are accessed with the same 3 taps just with different buttons. If your saber is on and won't turn off, simply quick press the AUX (second button) on the saber hilt 3 times. You will hear a beep sound indicating you are now out of button lock mode and you should be able to turn the saber off. Please reach out to us on our contact us page if you need further assistance.

Kyberlight uses a rechargable Lithium Ion Battery to power the V5 saber. As with all Lithium Ion batteries, charging to 100% and draining to 0% actually hurts the longevity of the battery pack. In order to lengthen the life of your battery, the charging circuit we use is set to charge the saber quickly from 0-90% and then very slowly until full (97-99%). This means that most of the time your saber will not reach full charge by the time you would like to use it. It also means that often the battery, even if left on the charger overnight, will not reach a 100% full charge (when you check the battery indicator) in order to preserve the life of the battery. With this in mind, the saber should still be giving you about 2 hours of continuous use. If you are charging the saber for more than 2-3 hours and only getting about 1 hour of on-time or less, please reach out to us to get a repair going.
