Description of Phanteks Halos Digital 120Mm PH FF120DRGBA_AG01

The Halos Lux is milled from one single block of aluminum and anodized. There is no compromise on performance. Even high quality fans made from PBT material, like Phanteks’ MP and SP fans, can now be illuminated. Light is spread evenly thanks to high density Digital LED’s and diffuser. Daisy chain all of Phanteks’ Digital RGB products together. Sync the Digital RGB LED lighting with any Digital RGB equipped Phanteks digital RGB and motherboard. Compatible with Asus (Aura Sync), MSI (Mystic light) Digital RGB headers. The Halos Lux series Digital RGB Fan Frame can be mounted directly to the fan with the included fan screws or mounted to a radiator mounted fan using the UNC 6-32 radiator screws.

Only worth it if you have a Phanteks case

They sell a $25 RGB fan but they don't tell you it comes without a Phanteks case or Phanteks control hub not working. This Halos Lux does not work with my mobile phone (b450 AORUS wifi pro) and my nzxt controller with case. On my first purchase I thought it might be a defective item, but when I checked my second order I found it would not work. On top of that, LED diffusers don't work properly and you can see exactly where the LEDs are, making the lighting VERY uneven.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Something's wrong

Easy to use - fantastic lighting

It's amazing. I've only had them for a few days but so far so good. I'll let you know if anything goes wrong. First of all, the aluminum frame feels and looks very solid. LEDs provide precise and even illumination and can also be very bright. I have it on the lowest brightness. Very easy installation. I installed them on 3 Fractal Dynamic X2 White fans and they look amazing. Our fans don't need to be replaced entirely just to get RGB. This is a great option, especially for this situation…

The cables that come with it are terrible

The backlight is fine, fan assembly is easy, but the cable lengths are incredibly long, proprietary 3-pin cables are standard and a huge job. To make matters worse, the cable quality is abysmal. I ordered 5 of these for a new build. All but one inexplicably different cable design literally fall out of my aRGB hub. Absolutely no stopping. One cable never worked whether plugged in or not, and all the others fall out of their slot on the controller at the slightest tug. The problem is that the…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • A little wrinkled

They are amazing - Phanteks Halos Lux Digital LED 140mm

This review applies to both 140mm and 120mm Phanteks Halos Lux Digital LED. There are no complaints about them. They fit any fan with white blades. I can only imagine they would look amazing on a translucent fan blade. I have used them with Phanteks PH-F140XP_BK 140mm (New Egg) and PH-F120XP_BK 1200 (New Egg & Revain). They have a 3-pin RGB connector (5V) with a daisy chain connection. I could easily connect 5 Halos Lux lights. The frame is aluminum (black) and looks great. The aluminum body…

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • Not everything fits
