The control module itself is the heart of the whole apparatus. Unfortunately, an adapter of some kind did not accompany the kit to make the control module fit into the face plate of an enclosure. People proficient with Dremel tools should find this task easy to accomplish. Anyway, sound is picked up by the microphone on the panel, and it's sensitivity can be adjusted by the small knob on the far right. Also, the switch in the center lets you pick from other modes of operation. ON puts the lights in a constant on, while FLASH makes the lights blink on an off with about a one second delay either way. SOUND CTRL is where you get the full disco effect.

     As far as wiring goes, it's just as easy as any other CCFL kit to hook up. There is only one male MOLEX connector on this kit, so there will be no piggy-back from a "Y" type connector. There are two, 2-wire power leads for connection to Sunbeams power inverters, and since the inverters that came supplied with all the other kits can drive two lights, that would be a total of FOUR cold cathode lights controlled by this unit. This can be any combination of colors and types, as long as they use the power connector that fits most of Sunbeams kits. The power wires on the control module are VERY long and should have no problem making the reach in just about any enclosure.

     Cold Cathode lights truly do make a perfect accent to any case with a window mod. Since the shape and sizes of cold cathode tubes are growing every-day, finding something to match your taste and enclosures style should be a snap. Solid color tubes, Mutli-colored tubes and now even UV "black-lights" can decorate and add that extra pizzazz to your PC. Interestingly enough, it was during our trip to Comdex that we had a pretty large debate with a couple of folks over light mods. "Why do you want to add all that extra heat to your case?" Well, if I can grab a light tube after it has been in operation for several hours, and its only slightly warm to the touch, I don't really think that's enough added heat to the enclosure to loose sleep over. Besides, it's sure nice to hear all those folks say "Dude, nice case." at the local LAN parties. BIG thumbs up to light mods!
