Corsair Lighting Node PRO Review

Others/Miscelleneous by stefan @ 2017-06-15

Paired with the Corsair LINK software, the Lighting Node PRO is an easy way to equip your computer case with configurable LED lighting strips. The strips do feature mounting tape backings and are also magnetic in order to be kept secure onto the chassis. The “brains” is composed of a small box which does feature two separate channels for connecting not only the supplied strips, but is also compatible with the HD RGB LED hubs, for even more flexibility.

Documentation is also provided for the user and this is composed of the Installation Guide, one Warranty Guide, a Warranty against defects leaflet but also some words on protecting the environment:

 

 

 

The manual does instruct the user on how to perform the hardware installation, but also on how to connect to a HD RGB LED hub (sold separately):

 

 

 

As connectivity cables, we are getting one USB 2.0 for linking the controller to a spare USB header on our motherboard, 4x RGB LED extension cables but also two HD RGB LED fan hub adapter cables:

 

 

 

The controller is very tiny, comes with an all-black chassis and picks up power from an extra SATA port of the power supply:

 

 

 

 

In the frontal area of the unit, we do have two headers, which do represent the separate channels; on a single channel, we can plug one, two, three or even four strips that can be controlled independently via software:
