6/27/04 Logisys lights by
KiSA |
|
You may
be asking yourself, why in the world would anyone spend their time
reviewing lights. Well, simple, there are a slew of
different manufacturers out their pumping their products to market as
fast as possible. Modders have a lot of choices when it comes to
how to sculpt their perfect rig.
I have chosen
Logisys CCFLs both 12" and 4" as well as their crystal clear blue led
fans for today's review because I recently used all of them in my both
the DJ-PC, and in Liquidity/Quicksilver.

CCFLs, the
packaging is more than adequate for these bright lights, typical thin
plastic boxes housing the CCFL tube and the power module. Also
included in the box are your adhesive velcro tabs, and instructions.
If you need the
instructions for installing these, stop reading, put the screwdriver
down, cancel your AOL account and return your pc to Wa1-Mar7.
When it comes
to installation, the lights are a breeze, you position the lights where
you want them in your enclosure, affix the included velcro tabs to the
lights and the mounting location, then stick em together. Once you
have mounted the lights its time to wire them for power. *make
sure to follow all ESD precautions* Simply plug the connector from
the lights into the module, you can't get it wrong, it will only go in
on side of the module. then plug the other side of the
module into an available Molex connector. You do
have the option of attaching the module to a switch but what fun is
that?
One important
item of note with the
Logisys
CCFL modules is that you can attach up to two CCFLs per module, This
makes it easer to maintain your wire management.

The fans come
packaged just like the CCFLs. Nothing of major note there. Fan
installation is fairly straight forward, a fan is a fan is a fan,
unless it's a blower.
What I was
looking for here was brightness. |
|
Brightness I GOT! The first thing
that I noticed after powering my system on was just how bright these
lights were. I have used other brands before and have been
disappointed with some, and just satisfied with others. These
lights were among the tops of the light products that I have used.
When I buy lights I want them bright, easy to install and long lasting.
I have been running mine for about six months now and they do not appear
to have lost any brightness. Great product, good price.

I've done a little
bit of background investigation on Logisys and they are all about the
"mod" from their lights to their cases, and back to their
keyboards. This is a Mod friendly company that stands behind their
products.
