Anybody know a decent computer red light?

I'm looking for a good RED light for inside my case, i've looked at some but people report them being a "pink" colour, the ones on ****** spicifically.

If anyone could advise me on a decent red light it would be great.
I have the HAF 392 full tower case, just to give you an idea of the size.

Cheers

I heard the ocuk ones are abit pink, Sharkoon do a set as do a lot of case manufacturers just look around

Then go LED. Cathodes can be like that im afraid! Either that, or buy white, and the shade you want in a lighting GEL.

Cheers, i've looked around but there arent many red ones, only found 3 and thats including the sharkoon ones.
Are LED's bright enough to light up the whole case like cathodes? what would you do? LED or white cathode with red gel?

Cheers

Probably LED strips tbh.

led strips are the way to go 12v attach to a swithed molex if u want the option to turn it ioon and off look for led/m leds per meter the more the brighter pretty much

Looks good, can I ask how they are powered? And are they switchable (on/off)?

Thanks

The LED's come with a card that slots in on the back which has an on/off switch and 3 settings for brightness (though not a lot of difference between them).
The power connector goes from the card using using 2 prong adapter into a spare Molex power lead, the LED cable has a 3 prong connector at one end which also slots in to the card, the LED's come with some little sticking pads which let you route the cable around your case

Really happy with the redness and was really simple to install.

Highly recommended
