Madlights LED Case Lights Review

I installed each LED group in pretty much the four corners of my case. It was powered up and I went through all of the different modes. Out of the 17 different settings, seven of them are solid colors. The other settings are a combination of colors, some of which fade between colors.

The controller chip will remember the last setting used, so it will resume the program it was running when the unit is turned on. Out of the 17 modes, 9 are selectable between 5 speeds , and 7 are steady colors (mode 7 cannot alter its speed). That gives 53 different modes that the madlights can display.

Program # Program Description Speed Control
1 RGB Full color palette Yes
2 RGB Cross-fading full color blends Yes
3 RGB 7 Solid color combinations Yes
4 Red Blue Green Rotation Yes
5 Red Green Blue Color Builder Yes
6 Red Fade On, Green Fade On, Blue Fade On Yes
7 Red Green Blue All Fade on and off No
8 Red Blue Green Then off, repeat Yes
9 Green and Blue Steady on Red flashing Yes
10 Red Green Blue Sequence Yes
11 Red Steady On Steady On
12 Green Steady On Steady On
13 Blue Steady On Steady On
14 Red and Green Steady On (Orange) Steady On
15 Blue and Red Steady On (Purple) Steady On
16 Green and Blue Steady On (Aqua) Steady On
17 Red Green Blue Steady On (White) Steady On

This kit really is an electronics hobbyist kit, and will be judged as such. I would recommend several enhancements if this were to be sold as an average consumer-level product. I would encase the PCB in a box, the ribbon cable and plugs would be smaller. The LEDs could possibly be integrated to one tri-color LED (so the color focus points are smaller), and instead of the two toggle buttons I would use a dial that could switch instantly between the modes (as many holiday lights feature). The beauty of modding, though, is that you could add these enhancements yourself!
