Best White LEDs?

[sid0195]

Im planning to do a blue/black/white colour scheme build and i need white leds. What are the best one that NCIX, Canadacomputers or Newegg have?

[Excon]

Why does it have to be from any of those places? Icemodz are by far the best

Im actually going to be buying all the parts from those websites so id prefer ordering it all at once and receiving it all at once

Bitfenix Alchemy are decent and should be sold at NCIX, Newegg and most other places, just a suggest I like to give, if you want to DIY your own LED strips by getting those 5m strips on Ebay or Amazon they are very cost effective.

Your better off just ordering from elsewhere. It will be cheaper and youll get a better product

i looked at icemodz but i thought they were a bit expensive, but i havnt bought ant LED strips so im probably wrong......I need about 1-2m led strips for under $30(with shipping NOT TAX) if possible would you reccomend any place ExconHD?

Why would you need a 1-2m LED strip? Icemodz are about 1/3 the cost of Bitfenix alchemy strips so they are far from expensive

30cm should be more than enough. 

 

This i what 30cm can do: (14:30)

They're pretty affordable but as cost effectiveness goes theses are the ones I was talking about to DIY a solution and thy are cuttable to custom lengths and run off 12V:

the reason i wanted large light strips was so i could cover a good chunk of my soon to be enthoo luxe but if you guys say that 30cm is enough ill go with it

Well, look at the video with the H440, is that bright enough? If so, then 30cm should be enough.

im probably not going to get the 30cm im gonna go for around 60cm and pair that up with a 3 pin fan controller or the controller of the enthoo luxe and control the brightness via the controller

I found the NZXT Hue 3 RGB led controller with a 2m led strip for $40.....would this be better or my other idea?

Im not really a huge fan of the NZXT LEDs as they give a very dotted light (bright and dark spots). Which apparently aren't there on something like the Bitfenix Alchemy LEDs.

The HUE sucks

i dont really mind the spots......i actually like them a bit....

then go with the NZXT LED strips. 

 

Apparently they're hard to aim and they supposedly burn it somewhat quickly. Although you hear mixed reviews about all of that since there are people who have been using them for a while with no issues. But, they're quite cheap anyway...so if you prefer the dotted light, then go for them.

It has to do with the large spacing of the individual LED's the higher the density the less that occurs, they saved money by using strips that have a lower density, you'd want something like 60LED/meter to prevent that from happening.

I understand why it happens, I just don't like that happens.

the build quality? Is the plastic THAT bad? Which other LED controller would you recommend?

Dedicated strips are better than any controller. I find RGB lighting pointless, stupid and tacky but thats my opinion
