Logisys 15" Deluxe CCFL Kit & Dual CCFL Ring Fan

Examination:

The fan actually has two layers to itself: one layer being the fan itself (120mm x 120mm x 25mm) and the other layer of dual CCFL is mounted below that. The fan itself is constructed out of transparent plastic. It seemed of pretty high quality, although we had no way of telling who the OEM was. Because of the way the CCFL layer is mounted, some users might have trouble using this as a rear fan (blowing air out of the case) because of the screws that mount the dual CCFL layer of the fan; however, this can be fixed by mounting the CCFL layer on the other side of the fan. At 22 dB, this fan looks to be a very quiet fan producing a decent amount of airflow.

Another feature on the CCFL kit is a sound sensing unit. There is a sensor that detects sound and flashes the light on and off if the specified sound threshold is reached. The sound sensitivity adjustable knob mounted on the PCI switch is quite an innovation. Users can manually adjust how sensitive the CCFL is to the sound, and that’s an added benefit that may be useful to a good portion of users. As usual, the Velcro strips are also included in the package, which means mounting inside a chassis will be easier. Although the Velcro mounting isn't always the best in some situations. The light is a long unit; the 15” light really separates it from other 12” lights, and it is definitely more than enough to brighten up an entire case when lit.

Installation:

To mount the fan for rear exhaust, we had to manually unscrew and screw the double CCFL layer to the other side of the fan, to make the air blow out of the case with double CCFL on top of that. Other than that, the fan mounted without a problem, and the On/Off switch is mounted in one PCI expansion slot. The Velcro strips came in handy for installation. The CCFL can easily be attached to the side of the case for easy removal as well. There are also strips of Velcro for the inverter.
