Bitfenix Recon LED light

PorkPieCat · 20 Mar 2014 at 14:02

Any way to have the display turn off automatically? Or any software that allows control of the light? Inexplicably, the display setting doesn't save when turning off the PC, so it turns itself back on at every cold boot. I have a Fractal R4, and I don't like having any light coming from my case, but it's a pain to open the door every time I turn my PC on. I'm not using the USB connection at the moment, but I've had a look at the official software interface, and downloaded Phoebetria to have a look at that interface, and neither seems to have control over the display. Any help?

Thanks

I changed the colour of the light with a acetate sheet and by doing so it dropped the apparent brightness considerably.

I never turn the display off so haven't noticed this issue.

I'd imagine something would need to be done to the firmware of the controller to allow this to happen.

Thanks. I've tried covering the screen entirely, but the light still bleeds out of its sides through the power LED, and the sides of the front of the case. I'll just ignore it for now.

You could always wire a switch in series with the LED and they'd only light up when you wan them to.
