Flat acrylic lightsaber blades, like Ripper Blades, often feature a blade lightning design that’s engraved into the blade. Specialty polycarbonate tube blades, like Ripper Blades Unstable Blades or the Kyberlight Crackle Blade, incorporate blade lightning into the design as well.

Blade lightning may also be purchased or added onto the blade as an attachment. MU4MA6 (Shapeways) offers several styles of 3D printed, external blade lightning attachments that are designed to connect to a 1 inch diameter cylindrical lightsaber blade.
