Meteor Light

Now here is a very interesting product. It's appears to be a typical Sunbeam CCFL, but then you notice it's filled with 12 LED's stretched across it's entire length. You'll also notice the much bigger wire mess to install this unit......Hmm. Let's take a closer look...

Installation was straight-forward, however, as with the feet, it wasn't very pretty. The meteor light is a bulky setup in it's stock form. You've got not only a rather large inverter/sound control box, but you also have a full size backplate with a function switch and an on/off switch. problem is, the black washer around the green function switch was too big to fit in it's place correctly. It ended it causing the backplate to bow inside the case, therefore leaving a small gap that was noticeable from the rear of the case.

Without the capability to take actual video of this light, it's virtually impossible for me to convey to you the absolute coolness of this Meteor Light. So with alittle help from Sunbeams site and some half-ass pics from me, hopefully you'll start to get the idea of just what this light can do...

Just like most of Sunbeams products, you can get this meteor light in numerous colors, including tri-color!! I only received the blue light, but I tell ya, judging by what the blue can do, and how bright it is, the Tri-Color Meteor Light must seriously kick some ass for disco-fever lighting!

w00t!

Since there's not a whole lot to say about this product, I'm gonna get right to the ending and my conclusion of this meteor light. First, it's typical sunbeam quality meaning it's very very good. The acrylic tube is still the best I've seen out there. The only issue I have is the wire mess. I realize these things just have to be there, but it's just so damn bulky. At least this time, there's enough wire to hide it. However, you'll need a good chunk of space in your case to hide it all in....heh. However the effect is suppose to be enjoyed thru fanholes or windows and not by looking directly into the wide open case, so the wires may not be an issue for you. Other than that, it's a kickass product and has already impressed a couple of buddies of mine that was over during the Superbowl... lol. Maybe I'm just worn from years of looking at every single product have a google of wires with it, but hey, ya gotta connect the damn thing somehow right?!....heh.

Pros

• Kickass Effect
  
• Very bright
  
• High Quality
  
• Easy Installation
  
• 8 Effects speeds (slow to fast)

Cons

• Wiring alittle bulky and hard to hide

Now, let's take a quick look at the next two new products from Sunbeam..
