"LED Legs"
Joe Citarella - 8/18/03


SUMMARY: A new one for case modders - LED Legs.

Kit

The good guys at Logisys were nice enough to send a sample of their case mod product - LED Legs. These are replacements for the feet on your PC that light up. Included in the kit are four LEDs, four feet, a PCI switch plate/switch and pads to hold the new feet in place.

The feet are plain Janes by day,

Unlit

but when lit

they throw a considerable amount of light into the room. The LED slips into a hole in the feet:

There's enough wire to fit any case:

  • Two wires at 15" for the longest LED leg
  • Two wires at 8" for the longest LED leg
  • One switch wire at 17"
  • One 12 power plug wire at 19"

The On/Off switch mounts in a spare PCI slot - rather than toggling it on and off, I would just leave it on so that the legs light up when the PC powers up - these are not power hogs by any means. All told, a nice addition - you certainly will see the PC at night and I think it makes a very nice night light.

Looking at these, I think they can be used just about any place - kind of like headlights; this is one of those products that are only limited by your imagination.

Thanks again to Logisys for sending these our way - cute idea!
