Night Magic LEDs:::...

Available in red, green, blue or tricolour (red, green and blue). Sunbeam's |Night Magic LED's are a kind of short-ish silicone rubber encased rope light for your PC.

The Packaging

 

The draw their power from a traditional 4-pin Molex plug with a pass- thru connector and can be linked together for greater length or to mix and match the colours.

Each length features twenty high intensity LEDs.

The Contents

 

And being encased in silicone rubber they are extremely flexible and can be wedged, glued and crammed just about anywhere.

Flexible

 

Of course traditional cable would be quite bulky and unlikely to hold up to constant bending and twisting so sunbeam have used a kind of flat ribbon cable to distribute the power.

Ribbon Power Cable

 

You don't always get an accurate depiction from a picture but these things are bright! Look straight on and you'll be staring through coloured blobs for the next ten minutes or so when you look away.

 

 

And the brightness is uniform across the whole spread. The last LED is every bit as piercing as the first.

 

 

With a little imagination the possibilities from the Nigh Magic are endless, and not just in your case either. I can see these lighting up a subwoofer or a monitor, and being encapsulated in rubber they're electrically insulated which makes placement easier. Keep them away from heat though.

I can just imagine four or five strips of this stuff fed individually through a chaser style control box (like the Sunbeam Lightbus which I'm reviewing shortly), the effects would be stunning!
