CORSAIR Launches iCUE LT100 Smart Lighting Towers

CORSAIR, a world leader in high-performance gaming peripherals and enthusiast components, today announced the latest addition to the growing lineup of RGB ambient lighting products in the iCUE Smart Lighting Ecosystem, iCUE LT100 Smart Lighting Towers. LT100 Smart Lighting Towers are available as a starter kit featuring two aluminium towers each equipped with 46 brilliant fully customizable RGB LEDs, as well as an optional expansion kit for adding additional towers to your setup. LT100 Smart Lighting Towers bathe your room in immersive ambient lighting that enhances your visual and audio experience, creating large-scale light shows that can be synchronized with other iCUE RGB lighting products such as LS100 Smart Lighting Strips or CORSAIR PC components and peripherals.

Each LT100 Smart Lighting Tower stands 422 mm tall and shines with 46 RGB LEDs, with a reversible orientation that can be faced forward for brighter, more vivid lighting or backward for subtler illumination that plays off the walls of your space. When connected to your PC and CORSAIR iCUE software, the towers can match and diffuse the colors at the edges of your screen in real-time, bringing the action in games and media beyond the screen. LT100 Smart Lighting Towers can also be used as an audio visualizer to bring music to life, or be customized in iCUE with a nearly limitless combination of colors and effects for your own unique lighting setup.
Even without connecting to software, LT100 Smart Lighting Towers provide vibrant illumination immediately out of the box with 11 preset lighting profiles that can be cycled through at the push of a button. The starter kit also includes a removable headset rest which enables a tower to double as a convenient place to hold your headset when it's not in use. Each expansion kit offers one additional tower that easily connects to your existing towers, up to a maximum of four towers and an impressive 184 total RGB LEDs.

With the addition of LT100 Smart Lighting Towers, the iCUE Smart Lighting Ecosystem can turn any room into an immersive and spectacular symphony of color.

I'll have to pass on these.. yikes.
CrAsHnBuRnXpI dont have issues. What makes it garbage?
Arent you lucky. :p

Depending on the patch (because sometimes it doesn't do it, the others it does), mine closes for seemingly no reason. Occasionally reads my mobo and controls it. It's also fairly cpu intense... a few/several %.

Those are my issues. Many have issues with it and it is problematic.

Don't forget causing crashes in various games, and also pinging the processor enough that on Ryzen the whole sitting idle at desktop thing doesn't exist if iCue is running.

MitsmanAbsolute garbage.....unfortunately I bought in to the icue eco system, case, fans, strips and ram. Its Good when it works but every new update just brings more bugs and there no support
Do what I do: once you have a version that works without any problems, STICK to it. Do NOT update (unless there is a really strong reason to do so). New isn't always better, there's a reason they say 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' :)

so whats you point mine is I wouldn't touch this (or Phillips Hue) even if it was given to me for free. In 30+ years of gaming I've never once heard anyone say "Damn I wish I had a R.G.B. L.E.D. lit headphone stand" it's just Fugling Ucky

It's ok to say you don't like something, I don't like these either. It's not ok to conclude something is pointless simply because you don't like it.

So what's the use that makes these so useful ?, dust collection ?, maybe to make them even more pointless looking is to have them with their actual headphone stand. Then to hide ? the one that holds headphones.

I guess each to their own.

If you pimped out everything else in the room, a headphone stand with no RGB LEDs would stand out like a sore thumb :D

Joking aside, if you set this to all white, low brightness, you could easily find the stand after a session with lights out in the room. Still a gimmick, but not totally useless.

Then clearly you should of gotten the other one in the picture, what ever makes'em happy. Only thing i can think of using them for is to direct people though the house.

I don't do that dark room shit, burns your eye balls out.

My point was that it's not any different than the Philips hue ambient color lights. Or RGB light strips behind desk, monitor, or whatever. Just because YOU wouldn't use any of those things doesn't mean others wouldn't.

And to be fair, I like RGB and I have an RGB headphone stand. Does that mean I use unicorn vomit? No. I switch between static colors with cool effects mixed in.
