LED modding

[Wano97]

I am looking for single color leds for in my case, and another led strip which i can somehow attach to the ceiling in my room, which has dimming, color managing and all that fancy stuff with a wireless 'controller'

BitFenix Alchemy Strips are great. I use 2 of them in my PC.

The only features that they have is that they can attach anywhere in your case and also can be daisy chained together. The colors they have look great.

Bitfenix Alchemy LED Strips are extremely expensive for what you get, and I'd never recommend them to anyone that has a modders mind and/or knows how to solder. ~$30+ for a 2ft strip is absolutely ridiculous.

 

For the same exact price, you can buy a 16.4FT strip that has an IR remote and power supply, such as this roll from Zitrades on amazon (I bought this exact strip): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A2MD5Y4/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

You also get twice the LEDs per foot (18 LEDs per ft vs 9 LEDs for the bitfenix), you can control the color and brightness, and the strip is extremely easy to cut apart and mod into multiple strips or for use in your computer. For my computer, I have 3x 6 inch strips all wired up to molex. Of course if you wire them to molex you won't be able to change colors or the brightness, but there are 4 copper tabs shall we call them. +12V, red, blue, green (not in that exact order, plus different RGB strips have different orders sometimes).

 

Hope this helps, plus the images below

-a good post-

 

I'd reccomend to make a DIY  controller with an Arduino and a cheap RGB LED strip ordered from China.

Np. The possibilities are endless with an LED strip. From a single 16.4 FT strip, I lined the bottom of my desk, put some on the back of my TV, and had enough still to put some in my PC as I mentioned before.
