CONCLUSION

   Before i start sharing my thoughts i feel i need to point out that according always to what is displayed in the iCUE software the LT100 towers probably feature 26 RGB LEDs inside each post and 20 RGB LEDs inside each base, adding to the advertised 46 per tower (I did ask CORSAIR about this so if I do get a reply which states otherwise I will update this page). Of course, again according to the iCUE software you can only customize the 26 located inside each post and the 20 located inside each base as one (and not all 46 individually). These are of course the “small letters” (just me nitpicking) since they don’t matter that much, still i thought it should at least be mentioned. With that out of the way it should be quite clear from our pictures (and all the material one can find around the internet) that the iCUE LT100 Smart Lighting Towers by CORSAIR look great. Yes, they could look even better had CORSAIR used larger LEDs for even brighter illumination levels (since the bases are 95x95mm the posts could have easily been thicker) especially for when facing backwards but even so they’d make a great addition to any desk. Unfortunately one small issue i found was that you can't rotate between the available hardware effects via the button located on the primary base and so you have to watch all of them one after the other, again and again. Yes you can change that via the iCUE software but i think that for some people it would be best if they could just change them via the button (perhaps CORSAIR can "tweak" this in an upcoming firmware update). So the only question is, do you really need them? Personally, I think that if you do have the space requirements and you don’t mind the extra distraction the answer is yes. On the other hand, however, some people may not like having two RGB lighting towers practically in their faces so it once again all comes down to personal preference.

   Currently retailing for USD129.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 139.99Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the iCUE LT100 Smart Lighting Towers by CORSAIR seem to be priced just about right. At the end of the day they may not be perfect but the iCUE LT100 Smart Lighting Towers by CORSAIR do look great and so they do exactly what they were designed to do and for that they clearly deserve our Golden Award.
