Sharkoon introduces the Pacelight P1, an eight-channel RGB LED controller that is bundled with two 120mm RGB LED fans and two RGB LED strips. The product has a MSRP of 69.90EUR.
In conjunction with the continuing RGB trend, Sharkoon introduces the Pacelight RGB Illumination Set. The set provides the fundamentals for the customized illumination of PC cases. The center-piece of the set is the Pacelight P1 RGB LED controller, which allows the control of up to eight LED components in up to 16.8 million colors. Likewise, up to four fans (with three-pin mainboard connectors) can be controlled via the intuitive software. In addition to the controller, the set gets you started with two included Pacelight F1 120 mm RGB fans and two Pacelight S1 RGB LED light strips.

The Pacelight P1 RGB LED controller is connected to the power supply unit via a SATA power cable and plugged to the mainboard via a nine-pin USB connector. Up to eight LED components with 12 V GRB connections and up to four fans (with three-pin connectors) can then be connected and controlled. For installation inside the case, the P1 has a protective silicon underlay with an adhesive surface. Alternatively, the controller can be attached with cable ties using the provided slots.

The connected fans and strips are controlled using the corresponding software. With this, the LED components can be separately customized within the full RGB spectrum and be individually provided with switchable lighting effects. In addition, the illumination can be set to automatically change according to the day of the week or to the currently active program. It can also be set to dim at a chosen time of the day. Connected fans can be easily checked for compatibility and can be adjusted within the full rpm range. A customized illumination can also be set to indicate a fan failure, should this occur.

The Pacelight F1 RGB fans were especially developed for the P1 and promise a maximum airflow of 93.22 m3/h at 23 dB(A) and 1,400 rpm. Six LEDs in the center should provide an even lighting also at full speed. The Pacelight S1 RGB LED strips each have 18 splash-proof 5050 RGB LEDs along a length of 360 mm. Because of their flexibility and width of just 10 mm, the strips can also find a hold in narrow spaces – either magnetically or by using the adhesive surface.

The Sharkoon Pacelight RGB illumination set – including the Pacelight P1 RGB LED controller, two Pacelight F1 120 mm RGB fans as well as two Pacelight S1 RGB LED strips - is now available at a suggested retail price of 69.90 euros. The Pacelight RGB fan F1 as well as the Pacelight RGB LED strip S1 are also available separately, each at a suggested retail price of 9.90 euros.
