I just shot mine maglite.....failed big time. The dark room just got all bright up....no beam at all.

You will usually need something in the air such as smoke, mist, fog, dust, or the like to make the beam visible. Next you will want to set the shutter speed on the camera to a longer time (try about a second with the camera set to shutter priority mode), and make sure to use a tripod (preferred if you have one) or set the camera on/against a solid object. This should get you on your way to capturing a lightsaber beam. :)

Uhm. probably with super high powered lights outside where there is water vapor or pollen/debris in the air.
