Vision® Saber, LED Light Saber, Laser Sword, Glow Sabre, Contact Sword … a flowtoys vision saber by any other name would feel just as sweet!

Now with 18mm diameter shafts: Vision sabers are now built with 18mm carbon fiber shafts. If you have a 15mm saber and want to match or upgrade, please contact us. See options tab for more info.

Created by Sean von Stade, who made the first fire contact swords in recorded history ;) and instigated a new movement in movement, the vision contact saber is designed with a large playable handle area with center mark for contact-staff inspired techniques. See "Options" tab below for differences between the various flowtoys saber options.

We have applied all our best technologies and over a decade of experience building and providing warranty service on LED props into a modular and customizable line of “sabers” designed for high-performance handling and light display. The blade features our "vision core", taking LED prop technology to a whole new level with many stunning customizable modes, wireless and brightness control, accelerometer response and so much more. Easily control the blade's modes with the capsule 2.0 light in the pommel.

Made with space-age carbon fiber shaft, super durable polycarbonate tubes, beautiful silicone caps, and featuring flowtoys connect technology, the vision saber can connect to many other flowtoys props, and is protected by our industry-leading lifetime warranty.

Sold individually.

Improvement to vision sabers: We’ve made an update to vision sabers, adding 3D-printed bumpers to the capsule lights to prevent rattling. The previous version had diffusion paper taped to the inside of the tubes, which was a potential point of failure when taking capsule lights in/out for charging. If you have a previous version and want to upgrade, please email us at [email protected].

2-3 week lead time: Vision sabers are made to order. Even if you choose Express shipping, your staff may not leave our factory until 2-3 weeks after you order it! If you are in a rush, please contact us before ordering. We'll do our best to make magic happen.

Non-US Shipping options: We cannot ship sabers using "First Class International" due to shipping restrictions. If you are outside the US, please do NOT select this option during checkout. We will have to email you to upgrade your shipping.

Options

15mm vs 18mm carbon fiber shaft diameters

The advantage of a thinner / smaller diameter shaft is mostly in how it rolls along the body: the smaller diameter must rotate more times to travel the same distance, and it has a higher rolling resistance, which both lead to slower travel, which some people prefer for a slower movement flow.

A larger diameter head and/or flowers will also slow down the travel / roll. We’ve found 15mm to be the thinnest shaft that is still rigid enough to not be too bouncy. Adding flowers greatly reduces bounce by absorbing it.

The advantage of a thicker / larger diameter shaft is mostly that it is stiffer and less bouncy. The larger diameter also travels / rolls along the body faster, which some people prefer for faster movement flow. We’ve found 18mm to be the “point of diminishing returns” when it comes to stiffness. Any thicker doesn’t make much practical improvement to stiffness, and starts to feel bulky and roll too fast.

Bridge for connecting to the app:

Want to use the flowtoys connect app? You'll need a small hardware bridge to enable your props to talk to your mobile device and vice versa.

We have 2 options for bridges:

  • Pocket bridge comes with its own power bank and can be used when you're out and about.
  • USB bridge is great for home use. Just plug into power via usb.

You can find out more about the app and bridge here.
