Corsair iCUE LS100 - Review
We have received the Corsair iCUE LS100 for your review. This ambient lighting kit developed by Corsair is easily installed behind our monitor. It has been developed as a smart solution that integrates seamlessly with the rest of Corsair elements. In addition, through the iCUE software and connecting the hub to the computer, we can have a brutal ambient lighting effect.
Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of this system is that it can be synchronized with the rest of the Corsair components. If we have a box, fans or a Corsair RL, we can make it all work together. It also highlights that this system is very easy to install and has all the necessary elements for it.

Unboxing Corsair iCUE LS100
In order to further highlight the Corsair iCUE LS100 kit, the company has chosen to create a black box with the RGB strips. The typical yellow color of the company goes into 'background', being seen in the internal box of the kit. Inside the box we find all the elements of this kit, perfectly protected.
The first element that catches our attention inside the box is the small controller for the LED strips. We also find the LED strips and a large number of connection cables and anchoring systems.
Inside the package of this Corsair iCUE LS100 system we find the USB connection cable, 4 RGB extension cables of 30cm, the kit's power supply, 14 adhesive magnets for the RGB strips and 8 adhesive clips. Everything has been thought of by the company, offering great versatility and fit.
In the Starter Kit we find an LS100 Smart Light controller with 2 channels that support up to 138 LEDs each. It should be noted that in combination up to 192 LEDs can be connected, supporting RGB strips without problems.
Features Corsair iCUE LS100
The first thing we find in the Corsair Starter Kit are 2 strips of 450mm RGB LEDs with 27 LEDs each strip. Additionally we find 2 RGB LED strips shorter than 15 LEDs, each strip. Both the long and short straps have a rubber cover that diffuses the light and makes it softer and more comfortable.
In addition to the strips, in each pack we find an extension cable and a 30cm Y-type cable, each. Each of the kits has its own magnets and clips for correct anchoring. The magnets must be glued correctly at the height of the fastening points of the strips. The ideal is to hook them on the strips and once there, stick them on the back of the monitor. To collect cables well, Corsair inserts clips, which is perfect
On the hub, note that it connects via USB to our computer, whenever we want. Connecting it to our system allows it to be managed for ambient lighting or according to the lighting of our chassis. We can choose between different modes of use using Corsair's iCUE software, which is very nice.
