Review: CORSAIR iCUE LT100 Smart Lighting Towers
Today we're presenting the Corsair iCUE LT100 Smart Lighting Towers. We must admit that Corsair has a real passion for RGB LEDs. RAM modules have them, as well as AIOs, chassis, headphones, and other accessories, like the iCUE LS100 Monitor Backlighting Kit, led strips. All of this can be controlled and synchronized through iCUE software.

Might be popular with youtubers/streamers to provide a nice color backdrop to their talking head videos.... most use similar backlights now just thrown together using off the shelf lighting.
I would be interested in this myself if it was a bit cheaper.
Also I am surprised this was not sold under the Elgato brand since this is a division of Corsair already, and would fit in with that as streaming accessory with lights, mics, etc.
You can get Chinese ZIGBEE based lights, it sync trough hub like Philips HUE , they come in many different styles, ARGB bulbs, strips, water resistant strips etc, rather cheap on aliexpress and im sure there are some on amazon and ebay.
The thing is if you get Philips HUE Bridge you can sync the Chinese lights to it and then use Razer Synapse software with Philips HUE plugin to control them from your PC.

I had iCUE installed when I was using a Corsair keyboard and mouse and experienced zero stutter as a result of iCUE.
