curse for more details welcome to an unboxing of something that's actually a

4
00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:23,519
little bit tricky to find because you can't just go to the Local Best Buy and

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:26,519
buy ice mods lighting Products but uh

6
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:28,960
Mundy from Ice mods reached out and sent

7
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:34,960
over a couple of his okay it's ice mods with a z a couple of his ice mods lights

8
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:38,760
so one of them is UV and the other one is a clear one he's also got some other

9
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:45,320
cool new stuff coming so he's adding black pcbs he's adding um sort of

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:50,920
multicolored ones which are going to be pretty cool as well so basically really

11
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:55,800
small company you can order from them directly based in Iceland or something I

12
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:59,039
believe so we're going to go ahead and check out what he's sent over for us to

13
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:05,960
take a look at now one of the other things that ice mods does is cable sleeving so I'm expecting the sleeving

14
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:12,520
on these to be absolutely exceptional and it looks like my expectations are

15
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,600
pretty much 100% dead on that is some of

16
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:18,920
the schiestle I've ever seen on a product

17
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,720
that comes out of the box you can't see through it at all it is an extremely

18
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:27,079
tight weave and it's multicolored so there's actually a gray strip a black

19
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:32,840
strip a gray strip a black strip uh he's also done a really good job I can see

20
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:35,439
here of of covering up the way that the

21
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:39,680
cable itself is attached to the LED strip now ice mods isn't the only

22
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:44,920
company in the world to do LED strips but I can tell you right now based on my

23
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,880
experience with the uh the phobia ones

24
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:52,119
which are not attached very securely like you could probably go like this and

25
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,079
if you did that maybe four five six times uh you could probably break them

26
00:01:53,560 --> 00:02:01,360
off pretty consistently whereas these strips have much larger contact pads for

27
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:04,920
soldering so uh so yeah that's a good thing also the way that he's achieved

28
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:11,120
his waterproofness is uh by adding there we

29
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:14,720
go a silicone looks like sleeve over top personally I find I prefer to take those

30
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:19,720
off since I'm not usually going to be immersing the LED strips in water but uh

31
00:02:17,519 --> 00:02:24,640
you can see how that's sealed around the edges and then this is sealed around the

32
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:28,440
edges as well so white PCB for now so I want to go ahead and show you guys the

33
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:33,200
rig that thanks Rumble uh the rig that I'm going to be installing these in so

34
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:35,760
I'm going to do the UV one on top up

35
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:42,159
here so that I get some nice UV glow from the tubing you can see these are

36
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:44,360
quite long strips I believe these are 45

37
00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:48,480
cm 30 I mean whatever they're they're pretty long so you can see how long they

38
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:52,840
are they're about sort of a Linus uh elbow to to fingertip in terms of the

39
00:02:51,319 --> 00:03:00,319
actual length so let's go ahead and light them up uh okay this rig needs a

40
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:03,879
power adapter yes I'll do something with the cable

41
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:07,480
management later but uh okay we got a little he included one adapter for me

42
00:03:05,799 --> 00:03:14,239
I'm assuming if you actually buy them you get an adapter with each one so

43
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:17,040
let's go ahead and plug this bad boy in

44
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:21,200
and it doesn't work no I'm just kidding computer's not on that's always the

45
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:25,680
first thing you want to check very nice extremely bright UV effect so you can

46
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:29,239
see even in the daylight of this room just installing the strip in the top uh

47
00:03:27,959 --> 00:03:34,560
what I'll probably have to do is get it so it doesn't go right over the radiator

48
00:03:31,799 --> 00:03:39,439
gives us a strong UV glow from all of that blue tubing in there that looks

49
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:46,080
really nice actually so even from a distance of about here you can see UV

50
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,840
not UV UV not UV I would definitely

51
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:53,439
recommend getting some distance between the UV strip and the items that you that

52
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:56,599
you are want to flues and then the other thing is as well you don't want to

53
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,480
position this such that you're going to see it through the actual case cuz

54
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:05,040
they're pretty much like painful to look at they're extremely bright um as is

55
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:09,640
true of of many of these UV strips that are available out there so the other one

56
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:12,720
we have here is nice long uh nice long sleeved cables on these as well that was

57
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:18,280
one of the other issues I had with the other ones that I had used in my own rig

58
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:23,639
they had very very short cables on them so those are wow yeah you're not even

59
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:32,160
going to be able to look at these but I think uh okay well here so without them

60
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:33,560
and then like with them so go ahead and

61
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:39,360
put that down here where I would probably position it you can actually cut them to length which is sort of neat

62
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:44,080
I'll show you that on this one so uh there should be scissor marks on here

63
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:51,280
somewhere oh hold on I don't know if this one yep okay so at all of these

64
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,680
spots it looks like you can cut them off

65
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:56,680
so you can cut them to whatever length you want and that is true of the white

66
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:01,520
one as well although it's marked in a slightly different way so there's an actual scissor line on there so you you

67
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:06,080
can cut that off so I won't be able to use probably the full length so I'll go

68
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:10,680
along the bottom with the white and then I want some UV in the top so I'm going

69
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:14,680
to have to cut probably one or two segments off of this guy let's go ahead

70
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,759
and plug that back in so we can see what the case lighting will look like LED

71
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:22,960
strips are so much more practical than cathodes for a couple of reasons so

72
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:27,039
number one is that they are much lower profile number two is you don't have to

73
00:05:24,919 --> 00:05:33,039
have a large bulky inverter to to convert from 12vt DC to 20 volt AC and

74
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:37,479
actually I don't even know if it's 120 volt AC but it's AC for sure I have no

75
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:41,319
idea what voltage it's running at but um I think that's pretty much it thanks for

76
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,319
checking out this unboxing oh I he includes adhesive strips but they might

77
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:48,479
have fallen out of the envelope when I was fussing around with them so yeah

78
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,280
those those are included too 3M Adhesive uh don't forget to subscribe Planet Tech
