LEPA Launches CHOPPER ADVANCE Fans with Kaleidoscopic Lighting Effects

Raevenlord · Nov 1, 2016

CHOPPER ADVANCE, the successor of the original Chopper series, is now ready to show off the new quad-ring LED technology that delivers vivid illumination effects. The new outlook also comes with LEPA's halo ring modular frame for 30% more airflow, PWM for speed control ( 600 ~ 1500 RPM) as well as durable BOL (Barometric Oil-Less) bearing technology, which promises high endurance (160,000 hours [MTBF]) and low noise (dBa of 8~20), which the company touts as making the new CHOPPER ADVANCE a one-of-a-kind offering.

The CHOPPER ADVANCE series of 120mm fans leverage a patented modular frame construction with a LEPA logo halo ring, a special design engineered to increase air flow by pulling air from all four sides of the frame and thus enhance the cooling performance. The halo ring also presents unique quad-ring LED patterns, which can produce 30 different kinds of dynamic visual effects.

The 120mm LED fans from LEPA are available for sale in November sporting four different colors: red, blue, green, and white. Pricing is yet to be disclosed.

Those blue and red rings remind me of the kitchen benchtop, did I leave a saucepan on?
