Conclusion:
Flexiglow Lazer Beam KitProvided by: Flexiglow A few months ago we reviewed a Lazer LED Kit provided by CaseCooler.com. These LEDs were small enough to fit anywhere in your computer. The Lazer LEDs had their limitations. The major limitation was that a modder could not focus the LEDs without taking them out of their protective cover. Flexiglow has released a unique Lazer Beam kit design that allows for easy adjustment of each individual LED, allowing a case modder to focus the light in a desired way.
Flexiglow's Lazer Beam kit comes in a variety of different colors. Colors include: blue, green, purple, red UV, and white. Overview: A list of components are available for the Flexiglow Lazer Beam kits. The back of the LED package shows a sound driver kit, cigarette jack, molex connector, and a molex connector with switch. A cigarette lighter jack makes the LED kit a perfect mod for the interior of cars. Since this is a computer review site, we will stick to the computer side of matters and talk about the molex with switch that came with the kit.
The "Lazer Beam" is an ultra bright LED that is encased in a miniature plastic spotlight. A focal beam magnifier on the end of each light will increase the intensity of the light for better lighting. The spotlight is connected to a base via a pivot point which allows the light to be moved 180 degrees. Double sticky back tape is attached to the bottom of each base for easy mounting. The transformer uses velcro with an adhesive back that sticks to the case.
Flexiglow Lazer Beam Kits use a 12 volt power source. A four pin Molex pass through connector is used to provide the power. Each LED branches out from the transformer on its own power line. Each power leg is about 27 inches long, making it perfect to spread the lights out throughout a computer case. This will allow for more area coverage than standard Lazer LEDs. Flexiglow sent us a Lazer Beam kit that includes an on, off, and flash switch. Heat shrink tubing protects the solder joints on the switch from breaking and shorting out. The switch includes a tiny face plate that has screw holes in it. A hole will have to be cut in the case To mount this switch, a hole will have to be cut in the computer unless a 9 pin serial port slot is open on your case. Mounting the switch to the 9 pin serial port will take some effort as well for it is not an exact fit.
