Wide Beam Technology from Cable Mod

Wide beam technology from Cable Mod delivers a 50% wider beam angle than traditional LEDs. On paper, this trademark technology promises a more even coat of light and increased brightness. To test these allegations, we compared a blue Alchemy 2.0 strip with one from Cable Mod. The result was that the Cable Mod strip was noticeably brighter and seemed to do a better job at showing off components. However, when looking at green LED strips from both contenders, bit Phoenix got wrecked by a landslide. It's worth noting that these strips have the same 30 cm length and 15 LED count but that wide beam Voodoo appears to be super effective.

The Quality of Cable Mod's Wide Beam Line

In our testing, we found that Cable Mod's wide beam line is pretty nice for the price and most folks will be satisfied with the quality and bling factor that these strips have to offer. The white strips show similar results with Cable Mod projecting more coverage that actually reaches the power supply. Although like my first girlfriend, most PSUs look better with the lights off, apart from brightness wide beam also seems to emit a purer white color than its competitor which looks a little on the cooler side.

Cable Mod's RGB Strips

When it comes to RGB strips, Cable Mod has definitely done their homework. The 30 cm and 60 cm offerings both feature 15 and 30 LEDs respectively, but there are more factors at play than just LED count when it comes to a strip's brightness and appearance. In our testing, we found that wide beam technology from Cable Mod is indeed super effective in covering all angles.

The Silent Base 600 Mid Tower with RGB Strips

We also had the opportunity to test out these RGB strips inside of the silent base 600 mid tower from be quiet. As you can see from the photo, the light reaches all components evenly and looks very nice. However, unless you're hooking up these RGB strips

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enif any of you guys need a legit website for your Tech YouTube channel blog or whatever the te Squad is offering $5. Tech domains until April 8th with the code awesom sauce this is a new initiative so many domain names haven't been taken yet that's why I was able to score awesom sauce. Tech before any of you guys could snag it first and try selling it to me later trolls go check it out I put a link in the description okay bye what's up guys welcome back to the channel it is nice to see you again actually I can't see any of you which is probably a good thing right cuz chances are there's at least a few of you out there who are watching me naked right now and it' make it really hard for me to focus on today's agenda I'm taking a look at these widebeam led strips from the folks over at cable mod now you might be thinking what could possibly be different about these led strips from any of the ones already on the market I mean an LED strip is just an LED strip right no well yes it's not like they're pretending to be never mind what I'm getting at is that since the LED strip market is pretty saturated nowadays companies have to find ways to differentiate their product if they hope to score all of our loot so let's see what tricks cable mod has up their sleeve to stand out among other popular options like bit Phoenix's Alchemy 2.0 strips which we'll be using for comparison throughout the video as you might expect cable mods LED strips come in a variety of flavors with a range of different colors lengths and installation methods to choose from on the palette we have red blue green white UV and RGB which comes alak cart or bundled with a controller and remote that we'll play around with later you won't find RGB or UV options on the Alchemy side but they do offer purple LED strips for the six people who have this r9380 from sapphire in their defense bit Phoenix offers 12 CM strips in their lineup presumably for small form factor chassis with side panel windows for cases larger than an Easy Bake Oven you'll want to go for the 30 or 60 cm strips from either brand now when it comes to installation magnetic backing is probably the best thing to happen to LED strips since I don't know they were cathode tubes using magnets for mounting purposes lets you easily move the strips around your steel case as often as you like or reuse them for another belt unmounting a strip with adhesive backing usually cuts down its bonding ability from 10 to teenager and what was once a working LED strip is now the reason you appreciate reusable chewing gum that's not a thing at any rate the magnets that bit Fenix used with Alchemy 2.0 was a breath of fresh air and cable mod has been smart to hop on the bandwagon with their own magnetic series to test performance I placed both strips at the top of a steel case to see if they would fall and they did not test complete however one feature I love about alchemy 2.0 that isn't implemented on the cable mod strips is the magnetic adapter that does a nice job of keeping the cable fastened to the case and out of sight for those of you with non-steel chassis cable mod also offers up the same assortment of strips with foam adhesive which is allegedly 200% stronger than its competitors sadly I don't have any competing adhesive strips to verify these claims with the demo but after testing it out cable mods adhesive is the strongest I've encountered with a gripping force that makes my left hand jealous while I wouldn't recommend it the adhesive is strong enough to be reused if needed just as long as the foam doesn't tear upon removal cable mod has also done us a huge solid here by choosing adapters with SATA connectors for power meanwhile it bit Phoenix authorities say that the person responsible for the Molex plugs on Alchemy strips is now being investigated for terrorism not only is the SATA interface easier to plug in and out but chances are you've already got a free SATA connector floating around your case next to one of your drives included with every strip you also get two four pin connectors for linking additional LEDs with the RGB bundle you get an RGB strip remote SATA power adapter and an RGB controller that features two four pin extension plugs for running strips from different points in your case of course you still have the option to run multiple strips off of one plug with the included connectors although a thickness of 7/8 in is pretty modest for a black controller double check to make sure you've got enough room to fit it in your case also connected to the module is an IR receiver with ample cable length so you can position it within a direct line of sight from where you'll be using the remote the last accessory you'll find is an adapter for connecting the strip to the Asus Maximus 8 formulas onboard RGB header and in case you're new here the motherboard is sold separately this feature allows users to take control of the LED effects through the Asus Ora software while powering the strip directly from the motherboard you can check out my review on the m8f if you want to see it in action taking a closer look at the strips both bit Phenix and cable mod feature 15 and 30 LEDs on their 30 and 60 cm offerings respectively but there are more factors at play than LED count when it comes to a strip's brightness and appearance wide beam may sound like just another nickname the ladies call me but on paper this trademark technology from cable mod delivers a 50% wider beam angle than traditional LEDs promising a more even coat of light and increased brightness to test these allegations here's a direct comparison between a blue Alchemy 2.0 strip and one from cable mod the lad is noticeably brighter and seems to do a better job at showing off the components but I wouldn't say there's a huge difference between the two however when we take a look at the green LED strips from both contenders bit Phoenix gets wrecked by a landslide now bear in mind that these strips have the same 30 cm length and 15 LED count but that wide beam Voodoo appears to be super effective our White Strips show similar results with cable mod projecting more coverage that actually reaches the power supply although like my first girlfriend most psus look better with the lights off apart from brightness wide beam also seems to emit a purer white color than its competitor which looks a little on the cooler side now at this point I ran out of alchemy strips for comparison but the rest of cable mods colors appear just as bright and vibrant as the others one exception is the UV strip which emits a subtler glow but still gets the job done especially if you have some white Parts sitting in your PC I'd like to point out that for the average size mid Tower the 30 cm strips are great if you just want to illuminate the top half of your system but I definitely recommend getting two 60 cm strips if you hope to cover every angle speaking of which here's what 2 60 cm RGB strips look like inside of the silent base 600 mid Tower from be quiet as you can see the Light reaches all the components evenly and looks very nice now unless you're hooking up these RGB strips to something like the Maximus 8 formula controlling the effects is a hardware Fair handled via remote there's nothing particularly unique about this thing as it's just an oem unit that's found with other no-name LEDs it's almost as generic as that one reseller whose name is generic on the remote you have your on andof buttons 16 static colors featuring 10 level brightness adjustment and four special effects which are unfortunately fixed at maximum brightness it also feels like there's really just two or three effects here flash mode simply cuts from one color of the spectrum to another while smooth basically does the same thing except only with red green and blue strobe and fade are a bit easier on the eyes as they transition smoothly from color to color but the only difference between them is that fade includes white where strobe does not sounds like a hate Crum if you ask me fortunately the speed of all these effects can be adjusted with the brightness button buttons so you can make your PC glow peacefully or have it emulate a Molly overdose after taking a closer look at both options in the end my recommendation definitely goes to cable mod for being the better LED option as it currently stands they're brighter they harness the power of SATA and are actually a bit more affordable than the direct competition now obviously something like the NZXT h plus has a lot more bells and whistles but you'll be paying around three times the cost also good luck trying to find them in stock I hear they're only available with the halflife 3 bundle to wrap things up like you a cable mods wide beam line is pretty nice for the price and I think most folks will be satisfied with the quality and bling factor that these strips have to offer but that's going to do it for now guys so let me know in the comments what a good LED strip means to you and
