Corsair iCUE LS100 LED Smart Lighting Strip Starter Kit

If you are a RGB fan, and have a home office desk, then this is for you ! I am using the smart lighting strip kit, fixed on the back of the screen, since few weeks now. The effects are pretty awesome ! It's of high build quality. The diffuser is very well made as it's spreading the light evenly. You won't see strong light spots just around the RGB or weak light spots away from the RGB. I didn't use the Corsair software though to customize the light effects. I am using it without the software (the down size is you can't change the lighting effect) and it's pretty lovely already, so I can't share my experience with the software. I definitely recommend this !

I really love these lights! They’re super bright and look amazing with my setup. The problem is with the software, sometimes it’s really buggy but that’s on Corsair’s part. Also they like to fall off the back of my pc so I put the little things that come with them for wire management to hold them up. The colors aren’t super accurate but it still looks amazing.

EDIT: Read to the bottom Buckle up folks. Its review time. Although the LEDs are flexible, the corsair box they arrive in bends the LEDs and gives them a pre-curve, making them not sit nicely on the magnets. The slightest bump or tug on the cords causes the whole thing to cascade down like a comedic curtain drop, except this curtain drop cost you $100. The adhesive magnetic stickies are EXTREMELY strong, and will not come off once placed on without a chemical cleaner. So make sure you put yours in a nice spot. I cleaned the back of my monitor off with alcohol and they are now a part of my monitor's DNA and possibly its future kin's DNA as well. Make sure you place your magnetic strips as close to the end of the LED strip as possible so the unnatural bending can be addressed (this was not in the instructions and should have been). My girlfriend found the curve appealing for some reason, but not so much for me. Also, the wire connectors between the LED strips are rigid, and force the already-strangely-bent LED strips to weirder angles. The LED strips also make noise while on. It kind of sounds like a very quiet chorus of ants caroling from a distance. The pros, however, is that this LED system work very nicely with iCue, and their brightness is not overwhelming. Makes for great backdrop once you start gaming. They look good, and have a wide range of options for colors and styles. I hope you enjoyed my rant-- _------------- WAIT I HAVE MORE. Been using them for a year. Really nice colors. No dead LEDs. They are absolutely incredible for live streamed music. My cats don't really mess with them so that's nice. The band band in the video is Goose. They are incredible. Gave it an extra star because of the Livestream music functionality with iCue. Everything else above still holds.

Pricey for what they are. There are a lot of cheaper alternatives. However, if you have a lot of Corsair iCue compatible parts I would say it’s worth it. I have a full Corsair built PC, mouse, mouse pad, and keyboard. Having all my LEDs integrate together is where the values comes in. I do wish they were a little bit brighter.

Producto excelente no he tenido inconvenientes, hay que ser atento en la instalación y organizar bien los cables, afortunadamente los Case de Corsair te permiten ordenar los cables que se conectan al Lighting Node Core, la luz es potente sin ser muy deslumbrante como para distraer tu atención de la pantalla, algunos juegos se conectan con el RGB de las tiras LED inteligentes iCUE LS100 y te dan un experiencia más inmersiva, es compatible con ICUE obviamente, y también compatible con Wallpaper Engine de Steam de tal forma que los colores del Wallpaper coinciden con el color de RGB las tiras, son una excelente compra :D.

This product is a pain in the a$$ to install and will not stay without the cable management hooks. The magnets with the double sided tape are useless. The tape is a pain to remove and then the magnets do nothing at all. Somebody wanted it to look cool, but it is not. Magnets stick, but the magnetism is too weak to hold the lights without the little cable management hooks with double sided tape. What do the magnets avoid? They are garbage!!! Cannot even keep the controller connected to the back of the monitor. Maybe the concept is good, but function is garbage! Better just to have the hooks or little pieces of double sided tape? Two hour setup as I wanted to try the locations before sticking the hooks on. Nope, lights dropped off the monitor magnets within 3 minutes. Corsair is too good of a name to be putting out garbage like this. Corsair should buy them all back. Lights work well, just garbage attachment capability.

Just a heads up. The second channel on these is lacking features. You can only have channel 1 match your screen. channel 2 lacks this feature. So if you have an abnormal setup (your monitors are not right next to each other) you may have to buy 2 kits to get this working well. the included mounting gear. (Little adhesive magnets) can't support the weight of the power cord. You can fix this by routing the cord above the controller and then clipping it to your monitor. The Strips struggle to stay attached to my monitor. I had to bring in some additional mounting materials. In short the strips look pretty good, However, using them sucks. Difficult to mount and need additional material. The controller is gimped. the power and usb cords are short and difficult to work with. Corsair does not sell unlit extension cords so you better hope that you can put the stips right next to the controller.

I like the brightness and they really do add to the experience of gaming and movies, but they kept falling down without some modification on my part. Using them as designed was a hopeless endeavor. The control box is designed well, the two magnetic plates stick to the back of your monitor and fit into little recesses in the controller itself it has no problem staying put, however I cant say the same for the light strips themselves. The light strips have little magnetic feet that slide right off like a refrigerator magnet that has too many papers stuck under it. I couldn't get them to stay up for even a second, they would just instantly fall straight off. So I bought some double sided tape to try to just stick the strip directly to the back of my monitor. That was when I realized the rubber housing on the strips wasn't just any rubber, it was silicone (non stick). You'll never ever get tape to stick to these things. My solution: The only thing out of the box that was not coated in silicone was the metal plates that you stick to the back of the monitor so I ended up sticking the sticky part of the metal plates to the magnetic feet on the light strips and then attaching the other side of the plate to the monitor with the double sided tape I bought. It held better, but I could have used stronger tape because the lights across the top of the monitor still want to fall off. I ended up using a few of the cable management clips included in the pack to finish the job by tieing the light strips to them with wire twists and they have not fallen down since. The back of my monitor now has crap all stuck to the back of it, but you don't really see the back anyway. It looks great from the front. I will point out that I'm using an Acer Predator x34 monitor. It is a curved gaming monitor so I had to deal with the curve and the gamer oriented stylings on the backplate of my monitor (varied slopes and angles). So I will admit that it was the perfect storm for these light strips, but if you have any trouble mounting your light strips, I hope this helps.

Excelente kit. Por mais que não seja recomendado, ainda funciona bem em um monitor Ultrawide (21:9) de 34". Tem que fazer uma configuração manual na posição das fitas leds no aplicativo iCue da Corsair para que fique melhor a disposição das cores que ficam próximas das laterais da tela. No geral, usando há quase 3 anos, estou satisfeitíssimo com a aquisição. Não é um Amblight glorioso igual o da Philips, mas é muito bom. Curiosamente, me admira alguma empresa de tecnologia não criar um dispositivo semelhante para que pudéssemos colocar em qualquer TV/Monitor, pois este aparelho não necessita recepcionar um input de vídeo HDMI, ele simplesmente projeta o que está no monitor através de software, plugando apenas um USB no kit. Outros amblight genéricos necessitam que o HDMI seja inserido nele pra poder reportar as cores.

RGB is a king and Corona is price slasher! great kit, not as bright as I would like, but it works great in my ecosystem MAKE SURE YOU DONT OVERPAY WHAT IS MSRP 135 cad of May 1, 2020 (139 is fine)

Corsair siempre significa calidad cuando se trata de accesorios y componentes de PC. Estas luces son sinónimo de ello, la calidad de la iluminación es excelente, trae modo de un solo color, colores cambiantes, gradientes y modo de ambiente para que adopte los colores del borde de la pantalla. El único pequeño detalle es el pegamento que tiene para colocar en el monitor, tuve que agregar cinta doble cara que yo tenía. Pero de ahí en fuera todo es genial.

Réponds à toutes mes attentes !!!

La iluminación es muy poca, compre más componentes corsair para hacer un equipo totalmente combinado con lo que miro en mi monitor y me duele aceptarlo, pero creo que no vale la pena por lo menos estas pequeñas tiras, en el cpu quedan mejor que para el monitor,aun asi considero que son de buena calidad y el difuminado es bonito, pero repito, iluminan muy poco estando detras del monitor.
