CLK12BL2 Dual Cold Cathode Light Kit, Blue

This product exceeded my expectations.There is an on/off switch that mounts at the expansion slots.There is a connector wire that plugs into the inverter.There are 2 plugs on inverter that run to the tube lights.PROS:1. easy to install2. nice and bright compared to other products3. nice long cable from on/off switch to inverterCONS:1. You can only place the 2 lights a limited distance apart.The 2 cables from the inverter to the tube lights could be a few inches longer.If you have a full tower case, you will need to plan carefully.If you have a full tower case, I would recommend buying 2 of these (4 tube lights & 2 on/off switches)I had purchased 2m led rope lights that did not light up the case adequately.I purchased these tube lights as a brighter solution...much brighter than the led rope lights.

You could eat out of my computer chassis, and I used alcohol swabs to clean the point of contact, the velcro peeled off in less than a week.The lights look great though, so I solved the velcro issue by getting tiny blue zip ties and drilling a couple little holes in the backplate at each end of where I wanted the light. Thread the ties through the holes and around the light and they're not going anywhere.Cabling is a bit short if you're using a larger case (im in a haf-x), but at least larger cases give you plenty of places to hide things, even if I couldn't stash it in the unused fdd Bay like I wanted to.I'd buy them again, just wouldn't use the velcro that comes with them. Even double sided foam tape would have worked better (and has on a couple other things I've put in that case).

there are other lights available, but not all have an external switch. as long as you aren't using every one of your PC tower's expansion slots, it is a great option. They are also really inexpensive. the only issue i had was that the wires were a little shorter than i would have liked. it took some creative routing, but i was able to get them where i wanted them.

Used these in a gaming case build, they are bright, but look more white than blue. The cords from the light to the control unit are extremely short and literally destroyed every hope i had for cable management. They use a 4 pin molex connector which is nice, and both lights plug into the same control unit, the PCI Slot switch is cheaply made, have another kit from another manufacturer and it has a toggle switch where as this one has a sliding switch, in my opinion its cheap. If you are looking for a cheap cost effective way to get a good glow from your case this will do the job, but thats about it. Dont expect deep blues from these lights its lighter than baby blue and shines practically white in my case. If you are picky about cable management like me then dont buy these, my case looked super clean with no wires showing until i put these in, there is no possible way to conceal the wires from PCI Switch to Control Unit because they are so short. Sorry for the long review, just want everyone to be well infromed, Thanks!

This was a terrific purchase for me! We bought this unit to fix up my Need for Speed Underground Arcade unit. This part went in like a charm and saved me alot of money! It continues to work brilliantly!!!

for what you pay they are bright and good, only down side is that the cables are extremely short so it doesn't leave room for cable management. Also had to paint the sound sensor black as it come a baby blue. Also when i plugged it in it started to fry the cables for a second and stopped before i could turn the power off. runs fine and doesn't fry the cables anymore, but freaked me out because they were fully connected.*****Update 10/20/2014*******Burnt out already, very upset with the quality and the reliability with this product.I do not recommend you purchase this product as it does not last long. 3rd pair i've personally worked with that has burnt out before a month.

I imagine it would have looked pretty good, it fit very well in my case. If only it worked... It is powered by a really cheap 70s looking power converter that was faulty out of the box

The two blue cold-cathode glow tubes are a bright blue, and the power supply (PS) is also suitable for powering other devices, even fluorescent lamps with filaments left unpowered, i.e., as cold-cathode tubes.The rated output of the PS is 680 VAC @ 5 mA, and it draws 12 VDC at ~300 mA with a single tube connected, or ~600 mA with both illuminated. It's provided with a standard pass-though Molex connector which should fit min between the PC power connector and a peripheral, such as HDD.Caveat: Thought I did not check RF noise generation, if you find lowered signal quality for Bluetooth or WiFi, change lamp and PS placement or cover all with metal screen, grounded to the PC case.
