Antec Advance Accent Lighting USB-Powered 6 LED Strip, Green (77032)

I picked up two of these lights to add accent lighting to my desktop PC's monitor and keyboard tray, hoping to get some relief from eye strain as one of the reviewers reported it did for them. What I found was a cool accessory that adds ambient light to my desk, but it's not necessarily easy on the eyes. The thing is, the packaging doesn't promise anything other than 'to show off your PC in a new light', and in that - it delivers.The 6-LED light strip itself is about 14" long, with two spots on the strip where there are (2) scissor icons with dotted lines; where you can cut the strip with scissors, effectively shortening the length. NOTE: No directions indicate this on the box, however I've used other LED strip lighting and this is a standard way to shorten a strip. **Caution: DO NOT cut the strip when it's plugged in!To set it up, you decide on your placement and cut (if desired) it to the desired length. Make sure the USB port on your device (PC, HDTV or USB hub) can be reached from the location you want to place it, and if not, get a USB extension cable to use with it.Peel a small section of the 3M sticky tape off and adhere the strip to wherever you want it to stay. Do a few inches at a time and hold each area for about 30 seconds to get the best possible bond. The adhesive works well when placed with care.When finished placing the strip, plug in the USB connector into the port. If your device is powered on, the lights should light up. If not, make sure that the on/off switch on the cable is in the 'on' position. (You have the option to turn it on or off, or leave it in the 'on' position and let the device power it up.)The LEDs are very bright to look at, so placing them in a direct line of sight isn't what I'd recommend. Behind my monitor I actually prefer white light when I'm working. The blue looks cool, but for basic work tasks (email, spredsheets, etc...) white is easier on my eyes. For simply 'this looks cool' - blue is great though.Designed in California by Antec, and made in China, this product is a neat way to customize your workspace and/or electronics with ambient light. Its retail price is on the mark for its quality and functions.I like how it powers up and down with the USB port, and I think the cable attached to it will be of ample length for most users.This light strip is about getting a customized 'look good'. If you want to buy something that helps reduce eye strain, get a white light for behind your monitor.  Antec Bias Lighting for HDTV with 51.1-Inch Cable (HDTV BIAS LIGHTING)  is the way to go for that one. If you prefer red to blue, consider the  Antec Advance Accent Lighting Red USB-powered 6 LED Strip .

Antec Quality Lights! These are really nice. Not some cheap led's, but well made lights that glow, rather then shine. Meaning, they don't blind you, but they do a great job of putting soft lighting where you want it. There's enough lights on this to go about 16in.. Just enough to light up any keyboard, monitor, or desktop. Rather then get rid of my keyboard for one that has lights, these work great to give me all the light I need.I do wish they came in more colors. I wanted a soft UV looking glow on my keys, so I cut a strip of red plastic film from some I bought here. I taped it over the lights, and now I have purple leds to type with at night. I bought the blue light, and by adding the red plastic cover, I got a nice purple! You should also go ahead and buy some 3-m mounting tape for these. Save yourself the hastle of them coming loose. Unless they will be mounted right side up, you will need to beef up the adhesive backing on the strip. Velcro also works good. I do wish they had a dimmer light, but they do have a on/off switch on the cord. And, I have mine plugged into a hub, and they work perfect like that. I own a 750w.Antec power supply, and have never had problems with it, they make quality products. Their pc cases are rated some of the best in the world. Their products are made well.

I've been looking for something like this after doing some research on bias lighting (for my monitor), so when I saw it, I had to pick it up.Overall, this is a great product, and it's one of the few that actually connects via usb port. The wire is adequately long, but you may need a usb extension for it to reach to an available usb port on your computer (I didn't have to use one). Also, it has a on/off switch, which comes in handy.I find that the blue LED light had a slight purple hue to it: it is closely related to the color you would get from a black light, which wasn't a surprise to me because this is not an RGB LED.I had to knock a star from it because of the taping on the back of the LED's. They aren't very sticky, and I had to re-enforce it with tape.Apart from the tape, this is a great product, and it really does make looking at your monitor, especially at night, easier to look at. If you're curious on why it does, look up "bias lighting" on Google. For the $11 price, you can't go wrong with this. Along with the functionality of the light, it definitely makes your monitor and gaming rig look good.

I recently just discovered the whole "tv accent lighting" craze and figured 10 bucks is worth the gamble to see how this looks.I freaking love it. My wife and I usually watch a movie every evening. Having a beautiful light blue glow behind the tv creates a fantastic ambient light source for the room - making it so that if we need to get up and move around, we can without having to have another light on.It also seems to help visually boost contrast and the picture. I'm sure it's just a jedi-mind trick and the TV isn't actually being affected, but it has a great contrast.the light is just a thin rubber strip of six blue colored LED lights with 3M adhesive on the back. It is USB powered so it plugs into the USB on my tv, which we don't use anyways. It does have an on/off switch, but I leave it on the "on" position, and when I turn the TV on, the light automatically comes on.I really dig this. Really nice ambient light. Not too bright. Really nice embellishment for our living room and when watching movies or playing video games.

esta muy bien fabricado, el cable es bastante largo y el interruptor puede llegar a ser útil en varios escenarios, utilizan tira con recubrimiento a prueba de agua, la cual me parece excelente, ya que la luz se proyecta mejor y difumina, otras tiras sin este recubrimiento concentran demasiado la luz dejando ver punto en el muro. lo conecte a un puerto USB de la TV, así que solo enciende cuando la TV lo hace, por lo tanto para la siguiente ocasion supongo que mejor fabricare yo mismo una tira.

I got these for my husband for Christmas a year ago. The colour is bright, and they are easy to use. He leaves them on all day and night, and they are still working even after a year. Impressed, considering they weren't that expensive. Will eventually buy more.

super bright LED especially when it's dark.mounted mine inside of my computer running the USB through the water-cooling hole, not that i will use that hole anyway.Looks amazing inside and if you look at it in the dark it is blindingly bright.Feel like the adhesive will wear off though as it does come loose.

Cercavo una luce tenue che riposasse gli occhi durante la visione della TV nelle ore serali e questo prodotto risponde pienamente alle mie esigenze!Comoda connessione USB con la quale le luci si accendono e spengono all'accensione/spegnimento del TV LED.Da notare anche la presenza di un interruttore per lo spegnimento dei LED in orari diurni

Una forma sencilla de iluminar tu PC por dentro sin grandes complicaciones. Es una tira de leds adesiva que tiene 4mm de ancho y 2mm de alta, se conecta a un puerto USB y tiene incluso interruptor para poder apagarlo. El color es de ese tono azul eléctrico.
