Lightsaber - replica?

Several people in the revision history claim the lightsaber was a replica rather than a special effect, purely because they say so.
Let's look into this:

1. When watched in slow motion, from 2:00 to 2:01, when the lightsaber is held horizontally across the screen, one can seemingly see the glow overlay move independently from the handle.
2. Same in 2:02, when Spencer holds it vertically close the upper edge of the frame.
3. In 2:04, there is a a moment where the glow seems to "jump" if you watch it frame by frame.
4. In Order to be white in the middle, the saber would have to emit a considerable amount of light - at least as much as a fluorescent lamp; however, except for some outer glow around the blade, there is no additional light visible on Spencer or any other object in the room.
   Check out the lightsabers in these images from Google:
   
   Now where is the same glow on anything in Spencer's lab or on himself?
5. At 2:06, Spencer puts on his glasses; he lightly holds the saber in his right hand, even widely opening it up when taking the hand down. If the saber has a physical blade, why does it seem to have no weight at all?
6. In the same moment, we can clearly see the reflection of his hand going down - yet not the reflection of a giant, glowing blade.
7. At 2:04/2:05, when Spencer does a wide sweep, his hands move above his desk on the left, producing a shadow on it - yet, at 2:01, when the lightsaber is above the exact same location, there is no light-change on the desk at all - neither more light, from a glowing blade, nor less light from a shadow.
8. In addition, one can clearly see that every object on the desk more or less reflects on it, due to the desk being coated or polished. Yet, no matter how often Spencer sweeps the lightsaber above the desk, there is never, ever a reflection of it.

So, I know I wasn't there and can't "prove" this. But if yet another fanboy wants to challenge all probability, could he please provide a similar list of things speaking for the idea it was a replica? 'cause I kinda can't understand how a sane man can seriously assume this was anything but a special effect, and I'm really interested in hearing what non-light-emitting-lightbulbs are used in Star Wars merchandise...
