welcome to an unboxing where I have two variants of pretty much the same thing I
also still have my microphone on but that's from shooting NC Tech tips over
there the microphone is on the camera
um not really related to anything this is anex accent lighting USB powered 6
LED strip thing so you can see they got a couple examples for how they might
expect you to use it and a couple more examples I'm going to read the back
because that is apparently what I do on this show show off your PC in a new
light with the antec Advan accent lighting USB powered 6 LED strip easy to
install and turn on simply attach the LED strip on the electronic device you
desire insert the USB plug into an open
USB port or powered USB hub and then turn it on with its convenient onoff
switch imagine turning on on your computer and suddenly a glow emanates
from within your case or having your entire your entire desk illuminate the
moment your keyboard activates if you think your component's desk or even
monitor need a healthy glow pick up the antech advanced Lighting Red USB powered
6 LED strip today now I sort of
exaggerated I made fun of that a little bit and rightfully so however it is
pretty cool so let's check this out we've got the red version as well as the
blue version here today and I'm going to show you guys a couple of examples of
what we can do with a product like this that will look pretty sweet so one thing
to note is that you don't actually have to use the strip in its entire length
there are cutting marks on here so you can see there you can cut it off at
either two four or the entire six depending on how you want to place it
although you'll have to rejigger the uh
the connectors if you want to do if you want to cut them you'll have to resolder
on power connectors as you can see here
not there somewhere else you'll have to figure it out on your own because I'm not doing that guide uh let's plug one
of these in and let's see how it goes here so I'm going to leave the switch
powered off so there's the convenient onoff switch just so that we have the
drama of turning it on all at once so
you can plug it into a USB port on your motherboard you know what actually this
is a terrible example let me just think if there's somewhere else that I can you
know what give me a sec here guys so let's start with keyboard lighting
effects here we've got a Corsair k90 and we're going to go ahead and add some
underlow how beastly does that look yeah
pretty pretty good pretty good so remember guys you can plug it into the
USB port on a keyboard or other peripheral actually here let's go ahead
and try it on a
monitor oh hold on it probably has to be powered
on
yeah yeah so here check this out check this out come over from the other side
so you can set it up on like the bottom of your monitor and illuminate your desk
under the monitor I apologize for us not really having like a proper place like a
proper system or anything to set this up on that actually looks that's about what it looks like that looks really good
okay now let's go ahead and remember that will only power on when your
monitor is actually receiving an input signal which is pretty neat you can even
use it to pimp your test bench so you can plug it anywhere where there's USB
power which is makes things very flexible so you could throw it onto one
of your USBS here and then you could
stick it to the bottom of your test bench and it would like illuminate all
of your testing equipment which would make you feel pretty cool there we go
let's just fix that up there you go so now my power supply and my SSD and
my pink uh anti-slip mat that I put on
top of my optical drive can all bask in
the red glow of the antech accent strip
these are actually really cool it's just I mean these led strips have existed
already it's not like this is anything new but all an's done is put just a nice
clean black cable an onoff switch and uh
once again clean heat shrink cabling here then some adhesive on it and you
can use it to Accent pretty much whatever you want it's a nice long cable so the whole thing is almost 6 ft long
