Looking for lights for my rig!

Hey guys,

Im looking for a few lights to... light up my rig.

Inside the rig I have a watercooling system which currently is using UV purple dye. Id like to get a light that preferably illuminates this but also allows me to add another colour dye in the future without making it look crud.

If that isn't possible however could you simply give a link to (OCUK store of course!) the best lights available to help spruce my rig up!

Thanks in advance!

Lamptron UV Spectral Bar looks nice and doesn't have the bulky inverter to hide.

Will the UV lights illuminate the UV dye in my watercooling though?

I know it sounds really stupid but im completely clueless...

Knowing my luck id end up buying it assuming the obvious and it would be completely different.

What colour would This light show? It doesn't actually state what colour other than it being UV.

And it will make the watercooling tubes light up purple due to the UV purple dye in them?

yeah it'll make it glow whatever colour the uv reactive substance is

I got some LED's as I prefer the lights that come off them. I've used cathodes for most of the time, but the LED's are much better

+1 leds much much better light

Emjay86 · 11 Aug 2011 at 22:04

Dont LED's last longer too?

Can you get UV LED lights?

Tealc · 11 Aug 2011 at 23:10

Yes you can.

Get stuff like this.

You can get them super cheap if you shop around.

Usually comes under the name LED strip. There are several different types. Some come with tiny SMD LEDs and a plastic waterproof covering while others have larger 5050 SMD LEDs attached to the strip.
