RGB fans, rejoice: Corsair's new Capellix LED technology is about to change everything

From PC World: RGB lighting on gaming PCs is about to get a whole lot brighter and a whole lot more efficient thanks to Corsair’s new Capellix LED technology, which promises to be 60 percent brighter while using 40 percent less power.

The new LEDs are incredibly tiny and dense compared to typical SMD, or surface mount device, LEDs. That density could one day lead to RGB grids on a case door or front panel with far more granularity than today’s LEDs.

Corsair didn’t create the LED technology but it did work with a manufacturer to take LED technology that normally would never be applied to a PC and had it adapted to computer applications.

The LEDs are so efficient, Corsair said it will be able to use them in wireless keyboards and headphones without jeopardizing battery life. The ramifications of it, frankly, aren’t known yet.
