be quiet!, the German manufacturer for premium PC components, is adding a new model range to its extensive fan portfolio. Light Wings LX joins the existing, award-winning Light Wings fan series to enable builds with impressive lighting effects thanks to ARGB LEDs for front and rear fan blade illumination. Featuring numerous performance-enhancing features such as optimized fan blades, Light Wings LX hits the sweet spot between high performance and quiet operation, with regular versions designed as optimal case fan solution and high-speed versions to provide maximum performance for heat sinks and radiators. Light Wings LX comes in two sizes (120 mm and 140 mm) and two colors (black and white).

Vibrant lighting, outstanding variability, great flexibility
Thanks to an impeller with 16 ARGB LEDs to illuminate the front and back of the frosted fan blades, Light Wings LX offers breathtaking lighting effects. Light Wings LX doesn't just look good, though: its silence-optimized fan blades are designed for great performance with low noise-generating turbulences and a low starting rpm allows for silent builds. Light Wings LX 120 mm PWM and Light Wings LX 140 mm PWM offer 7 blades for high airflow, making them ideally suited as case fans, while Light Wings LX 120 mm PWM high-speed and Light Wings LX 140 mm PWM high-speed have no less than 9 blades to produce the high pressure (up to 2.51 mm/H2O) needed for radiators and heatsinks. The high-speed versions also include be quiet!'s unique closed-loop motor technology to ensure the fan speed remains constant, no matter the air resistance.



Light Wings LX is available in black and white as triple-packs, while the black models are also available as single fans. All models use a high-grade rifle bearing technology that contributes to a very long lifespan of up to 60,000 hours. A full 3-year manufacturer's warranty is included.



The Light Wings LX fan series is available for sale from October 10. You can check out the prices and the technical details in the tables below.

They looks like power hungry deepcool fans.
I bet the fan blades are so thin that they hum/buzz/thrum at around 1000rpm like most Nasty rgb fans (even some Non rgb ones... Deepcool/thermalright looking at you)

Ah good, they've undone their previous ridiculous design mistake of shrinking the fan blades to fit more RGBLED into the fan.

RGBLED is acceptable as long as it doesn't actively detract from the primary function of the thing - but their old Light Wings fans had blades 4mm shorter than their other fans to fit the silly lights into the frame, which is a 16% reduction in swept area for the 120mm variant.

It showed up in noise/performance graphs as objectively, significantly worse - louder and less good as a fan, obviously...
