00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:16.560
welcome to an unboxing and First Look of something that I'm very very excited

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:19.880
about this is the phobia LED flex light

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:22.760
now we've seen stuff like this before

00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:28.560
it's an LED light strip it plugs in Via Molex you can light your computer with

00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:31.599
it blah blah blah computer unique piece

00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:34.800
of art etc etc Etc integrated powerfully

00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:37.239
light Etc okay no no no no no this is

00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:40.719
very exciting so this is available in a variety of different color

00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:48.760
configurations and lengths so you can get them in 30 cm 60 cm 120 CM 240 CM so

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:54.199
this is anywhere from pretty short to immensely long RGB warm white white blue

00:00:52.199 --> 00:01:00.239
green red UV yes unlike other competing products

00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:05.479
on the market these phobia LED light strips are available in UV these also

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:09.840
appear to be of the waterproof variety although don't quote me on that but

00:01:07.479 --> 00:01:12.640
they're they come in casings that why am I holding it up to that camera I should

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:20.600
be holding it up to the decent camera operated by someone who knows what they're doing um this is the uh so you

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:25.159
can see there's a silicone seal around two cap pieces on either end so even the

00:01:23.320 --> 00:01:28.320
one with the wire coming into it seems to have some kind of a seal going on

00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:32.720
however you can see those wires are somewhat bare so I don't know that would

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:37.960
necessarily take this and submerge it in coolant immediately

00:01:35.720 --> 00:01:41.799
although you know what why don't we just not test that that's not really what we

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:44.920
do on this show getting ourselves sort of fried you know we weren't done with

00:01:43.479 --> 00:01:49.119
the close-up look though actually come back so this is an extremely high

00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:54.759
quality sleeving being used on here even though the wires inside are colored you

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:57.119
can not see the color of the wires which

00:01:54.759 --> 00:02:01.200
is pretty darn impressive have you got a nice closeup of that diesel all right

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:04.840
awesome and then plugs in Via a three pin adapter oh cool so you can power

00:02:03.039 --> 00:02:08.920
them off a fan cable this is something I haven't seen before that's outstanding

00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:13.480
so you can run these to every corner of your case without actually running wires

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:17.599
and then it just includes an adapter that's a sleeve nice beautifully sleeved

00:02:15.519 --> 00:02:21.840
four pin Molex to other more different Molex so you can daisy chain them that

00:02:19.959 --> 00:02:26.160
will also power one of the LED strips so we're going to go ahead and plug this

00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:31.959
bad boy in to a system here so let's go ahead and click the thing and remember

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:35.360
guys always power the system down before plugging in any accessories or

00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:39.360
peripherals because this can reduce the risk of shorting out components or

00:02:37.720 --> 00:02:46.440
anything else sort of generally bad happening remember guys do as I say not

00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:48.239
as I do all right there we have it so

00:02:46.440 --> 00:02:51.879
guys for those of you who think wow the cameras really don't pick up that light

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:55.879
very well but trust me it's here I'm just going to put this down so that uh

00:02:54.200 --> 00:03:00.440
maybe the the half decent camera operator can have a look at it remember

00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:03.159
guys UV lights are not purple lights

00:03:00.440 --> 00:03:08.599
they are UV lights they're not intended to cast a particular color in your case

00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:13.120
but they are by Nature somewhat purple looking these are extremely bright and I

00:03:10.920 --> 00:03:18.200
am super stoked on getting these installed uh in my case I'm a bit of a

00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:19.680
UV nut now they look kind of pink in the

00:03:18.200 --> 00:03:24.080
uh in the video we're taking right now but don't mind that that's actually not

00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:28.000
how they look in person they do look more purple I'm about to cut across the

00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:32.640
camera so that I can turn off the lights so I can give you guys some idea how

00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:37.159
they're reacting with the yeah thanks lick with some of the UV reactive

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:42.480
components we have here so this is one of those old DFI land party cables so

00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:45.799
I'm going to go ahead and show you guys what that looks like under the UV light

00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:49.799
so without the UV light you can see it doesn't look like a whole lot well that

00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:54.959
now it's completely dark good work guys there we go so UV light shows that the

00:03:52.599 --> 00:04:00.439
uh the yellow cable lights up like a beast uh this is sort of a pink ninja

00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:02.200
star thing that I uh I got as sort of a

00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:07.760
gag gift at one point so that's lighting up extremely nicely even at a distance

00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:09.680
so I'm holding it about 15 cm away this

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:13.640
is in complete pitch Blackness from the UV components that I have here and it's

00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:17.880
still lighting them up quite well this is about 30 cm away so we're still

00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:23.080
getting a fair amount of light on them in fact I'd say diesel should probably

00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:26.240
if there's a way bump up the uh to to represent more like what it looks like

00:04:24.400 --> 00:04:29.880
in real life yeah that's probably more like what it's looking like in real life

00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:34.280
right now there we go so these are are some swifttech coils from back in the

00:04:31.960 --> 00:04:39.039
day when they made those so that's that's an extreme that's at 30 cm away

00:04:36.520 --> 00:04:45.320
guys and then finally over here we've got some primoflex uh LRT tubing so

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:48.919
these this uh tubing isn't as glowy as sort of some tubing out there but if you

00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:54.280
get a little bit closer so this is at about 15 cm away you can see it's got a

00:04:51.880 --> 00:04:59.840
pretty strong UV effect there and last but not least on the motherboard behind

00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:02.199
me here I have one of Intel's uh blue

00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:06.039
SATA cables that they include with their U with their older badax boards I think

00:05:04.840 --> 00:05:11.960
that's where I got this thing and you can see that that's quite UV reactive as

00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:14.120
well so what's exciting about this guys

00:05:11.960 --> 00:05:18.120
is the fact that here let's switch to the other camera let's see how this goes

00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:21.400
oh and the lights are all dead now that really didn't work very well at all I

00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:26.160
was planning to point the UV light at myself in order to sort of have some

00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:32.840
light on myself that would look somewhat good um the exciting thing about this is

00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:35.600
like UV cathodes we are not limited to

00:05:32.840 --> 00:05:38.919
having to have stiff tubes so you can run them into the little nooks and

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:43.080
crannies of your case also they're powered by 12vt so you don't have to

00:05:41.039 --> 00:05:47.759
deal with having inverters which are quite large to convert from DC to AC

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.520
power all over your case in order to get UV lighting they're Slimmer profile

00:05:49.919 --> 00:05:55.840
which means again you can fit them into places that you can't do with cathodes

00:05:53.960 --> 00:06:03.360
and also they are much less likely to die over time every cathode I've ever

00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:05.960
bought and that's like at least 30 has

00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:09.880
either died or faded over time especially the UV ones because the UV

00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:14.360
light causes the glue to break down at the ends and so the the square pieces at

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:18.440
the ends actually just start coming off after you've had them running for about

00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:22.840
a year so it's just not a very good user experience I am hoping that these led

00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:26.560
versions will be significantly better and when I redo my personal build which

00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:29.919
is coming soon I am definitely going to be using these instead of cathodes based

00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:33.880
on the experience I've had with them here don't forget to subscribe to lus

00:06:35.400 --> 00:06:39.120
enjoyed this one
