Why is the wand so much darker than in the movies ?

I don't think it is. If you compare it to Hermione's wand in movies 3-7 it is the same. These wands actually have a Warner Brothers Trademark logo on them.

The water pressure coming out of the wand is much better than Aquasana's wand. My husband and I live in a rural town, and we live further away from the municipal water supply. But since we changed to the Pelican, we have noticed an increase in our wand water pressure. It is also easier to put on than the other. We opted out of the smelly, perfumy fragrance pack to put in it. The wand has a plastic smell for awhile, but that comes with anything made out of plastic or rubber. It goes away after awhile. We are very happy with the product! Good luck choosing!

I have heard that the brightness is really only a problem in the show rooms. Once you take it home and start watching it under more "normal" lighting conditions then it looks good. For the most part "cinema" mode and the like just lower the brightness so that it is not overwhelming when you are watching it in a darker room.

Edited to include all pieces... My wizard holding the staff & long mustache is GREEN; female wizard with cape and magic ball is RED;smaller wizard holding book is YELLOW; older looking wizard holding long crooked 'stick' is dark BLUE/PURPLE. By the looks of the other responses, it seems totally random and slightly different in every game. Hope this helped! Sort of lol

The only differrence is the color. The "Magic Wand" (PDSWF-ST44PU-VP) come in several colors. Keep in mind that other models come in different colors as well. Read the specs to make sure that you get the model that best suit your needs. I brought this model because it has "WiFi."

You can see out at night though slightly darker. The film reflects so that it is harder to see in during the day however that is also dependednt on the amount of light inside the house.

The guide color is quite a bit darker than the original and the color it produces is a tad bit darker

It's a nice contrast to the black. It's a little darker than gun metal. Id send a better photo but not sure if this allows.

black. It's probably the flash on cameras that make it look grey. It's the color of the mouse itself you need to watch out for. Or you'll end up with non matching glows.

The only instance of blood I can recall is the series of static dark red spots at the end of the Subspace Emissary campaign on the white glove of [redacted] due to [redacted]. It's nothing graphically shocking though, unless you count a small coagulated prick shocking, and it is used for dramatic effect in the story. Otherwise, though, it's fine, and that's minor. Pretty much just cartoon violence.

I had the impression that you could buy the wands that will make it produce the violet light. My friend has the same machine and that's what she told me. I used her violet light wands on her machine.

Things are slightly fuzzy when viewed through the film. It's minor and I don't imagine it would look different enough that it would be noticeable to others, especially at transom height. (I always figure that if people notice these minor things, I should be a better conversationalist. :-))

Actually, I know this is late, but the orange one actually glows a more of red light. In the dark it looks like a red volcano. I thought it would be orange, but yea, it is more on the red side. It doesn't matter to me really, but it isn't really too calming, if that is what you're looking for.

There is a vingnetting from the center to the edges to give a modeled look. The center is brighter and the edges are darker, yes.

That's hard to answer since everyone's use is different. When I change it, it's usually because the red has gotten too light to read, but the black is still reasonably dark. But that seems to be true of other brands too. Maybe I just have too many negative entries.

Hello Katey, it may just be the lighting in the picture. They are regular stainless stainless steel. Not dark at all

In my opinion, it is not too dark. It doesn't have quite the brightness or glare as without it. It kind of gives it a kindle feel to me, but I prefer that. It slightly diffuses the light, which is why some may feel it is dark. You can tell a difference.
