Lazer Leds :::...

Lazer LEDs may be just a variation on a theme but their great advantage is that they're incredibly compact yet light a large area if placed correctly.

The Packaging

 

Again, power is supplied using a regular 4-pin Molex meaning nobody should have a problem finding a feed close by to power it.

The Power Connector

 

The shine, chrome effect plastic housing has two holes for screw mounting, and to their credit Sunbeam even include the screws, along with a Velcro pad for a less permanent approach.

The LEDs are arranged with the central one facing forward and the ones either side firing out at an angle. The Chrome-like surface finish works as a crude reflector to optimise light output.Plus it looks good.

The Lazer LED Enclosure

 

The lights are bright and can be made to look very effective if you place them away from obstructions.

Being more directional than most case lighting options you do need to give a little more thought to where you position them. Holding them in place with some Blu-Tack until you're happy is definitely a good idea, particularly if you're fitting more than one. That way you can see how the beams interact.

My sole complainant about these is that although they can be effective when angled, there no real way to do that with them. A hinged base would add greatly to the versatility and make for more varied lighting effects.
