They have each design in a choice of 10 colours 3 different disply modes & 2 different finishes. As I have a few different sets I’ll list them below with all their individual specs.

I had two of these to preview, Green & Red. As you can see from the pictures they emit a lot of light in a fan configuration on each side. There is a small piece of adhesive backed velcro supplied to mount them. As with the rest of the Ranges they offer they come in a variety of colors so they’ll easily blend with most systems.

I had the UV version to review & as you can see they emit lots of light & due to the rubber strip should be very useful in water. If your handy with a drill you could easily make the rubber surrounding the leds fit through a panel hiding the wiring part from sight.
Lamptron FlexLight Pro
This array are mounted in a hrad plastic strip which are a little harder to control but are a lot flatter than the normal FlexLight.

The pictures are of the Yellow Strip. This strip array is handy as it can be cut every 60mm. There are marks so you cut it in the correct position to keep it working correctly. The SMD Leds emit an unusual light as when examining the strip when it was powered up the covering gave the light a 3D appearance making look like a fine swirling mist about 3mm away from the plastic. The plastics quiet rigid & would be a bit fiddly to fit, this could also lead to the strip pulling itself away from any adhesive tape in time.
Lamptron Tailed Led
A direct replacement for HDD or PWR led.

Price Unknown at the moment
I guess the standard Leds that come with a case today are usually over looked at least this will save the time & effort required in replacing the led, making it just a quick alteration. The only downside to this is that the leads are quiet short making it a bit hard if you have a large case to get the Led to its place in a front panel.
Lamptron Lazer Led

I had the 6 Cluster Chrome finish with multicolour & multispeed flashing. It was a shame that I had no control over the colour or flashing speed, but it did emit a lot of light & would appeal to people who like having the effect of movement inside their cases. Might want to be careful though if you suffer epileptic fits as the flashing is quiet intense. It does give of a nice effect though & has a nice finish with the chrome, Mounting is made easy with 2 holes allowing it to be mounted easily.
Conclusion
You can’t fault Lamptron for trying to give people as much variety as possible in colour & styles. This is only a small selection of what they have to offer. They aslo do CCFL kits & other led styles. Visit www.lamptron.com to see their whole range. Atleast you know you can get a led array that’ll fit your system & in the colour you require from one supplier.
For Lamptrons foresight into the expanding requiremnets in Case Lighting I give them a gold star.
