Lights?

Post by I love my ax »

I am going to mod my silver case with blue lights, but what kind of lights should I use? I want the brightest and truest blue. Should I get neon and leds? Or just one or the other? Help! Thanks

These are brighter, mostly because of where you can place them.

But those along with the bright long cathodes, don't show much actual blue color. The brighter they are the less blue they are.

I also have 2 80mm blue led fans as intake and exhaust, they are not as bright but do add more actual blue color. I have 2 of these:

And 2 of these:

All are very easy to install. Simply plug them in a 4 pin molex and place the light where you want. If using those long cathodes, then use the included velcro to place them where you want. ;)

These aren't that bad either. Pretty bright, very small.
