00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:17.359
curse for more details welcome to an unboxing of something that's actually a

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

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:26.519
buy ice mods lighting Products but uh

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:28.960
Mundy from Ice mods reached out and sent

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

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

00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:45.320
cool new stuff coming so he's adding black pcbs he's adding um sort of

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:50.920
multicolored ones which are going to be pretty cool as well so basically really

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:55.800
small company you can order from them directly based in Iceland or something I

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

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

00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:12.520
on these to be absolutely exceptional and it looks like my expectations are

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:13.600
pretty much 100% dead on that is some of

00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:18.920
the schiestle I've ever seen on a product

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

00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:27.079
tight weave and it's multicolored so there's actually a gray strip a black

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

00:01:29.240 --> 00:01:35.439
here of of covering up the way that the

00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:39.680
cable itself is attached to the LED strip now ice mods isn't the only

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

00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:46.880
experience with the uh the phobia ones

00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:52.119
which are not attached very securely like you could probably go like this and

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:56.079
if you did that maybe four five six times uh you could probably break them

00:01:53.560 --> 00:02:01.360
off pretty consistently whereas these strips have much larger contact pads for

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

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:11.120
his waterproofness is uh by adding there we

00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:14.720
go a silicone looks like sleeve over top personally I find I prefer to take those

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

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

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

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

00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:35.760
I'm going to do the UV one on top up

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

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:44.360
quite long strips I believe these are 45

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

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

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

00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:03.879
power adapter yes I'll do something with the cable

00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:07.480
management later but uh okay we got a little he included one adapter for me

00:03:05.799 --> 00:03:14.239
I'm assuming if you actually buy them you get an adapter with each one so

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:17.040
let's go ahead and plug this bad boy in

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

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:25.680
first thing you want to check very nice extremely bright UV effect so you can

00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:29.239
see even in the daylight of this room just installing the strip in the top uh

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

00:03:31.799 --> 00:03:39.439
gives us a strong UV glow from all of that blue tubing in there that looks

00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:46.080
really nice actually so even from a distance of about here you can see UV

00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:47.840
not UV UV not UV I would definitely

00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:53.439
recommend getting some distance between the UV strip and the items that you that

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

00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.480
position this such that you're going to see it through the actual case cuz

00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:05.040
they're pretty much like painful to look at they're extremely bright um as is

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:33.560
and then like with them so go ahead and

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

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

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

00:04:47.880 --> 00:04:52.680
spots it looks like you can cut them off

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:22.960
strips are so much more practical than cathodes for a couple of reasons so

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

00:05:24.919 --> 00:05:33.039
have a large bulky inverter to to convert from 12vt DC to 20 volt AC and

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

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

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:44.319
checking out this unboxing oh I he includes adhesive strips but they might

00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:48.479
have fallen out of the envelope when I was fussing around with them so yeah

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:51.280
those those are included too 3M Adhesive uh don't forget to subscribe Planet Tech
