Questions about Corsair Lighting Node Pro

No. The Commander Pro has fan speed control, a thermal sensor socket and two internal USB ports and two LED channels. The Lighting Node Pro comes with LED STRIP and LL120 X 3 kits that control the LEDs. But that's all they do (no more USB, no speed or temperature). You can only use one channel for the STRIP LEDs and the second for the LL-FANS. At the limit you can even read 2 pieces, because there is 1 Lighting Node Pro of "too much". Sorry for my German ... google translate.

No, it only works with the PC

Yes, exactly. That's what you need. Unfortunately, you can't do without it.

Yes you need to buy the hub aswell. It’s terrible documented on the sell page and a lot of people have asked this question.

The Lighting Node Pro RGB is available separately, but unfortunately not at Galaxus. Corsair users have also been successful with other cables via Corsair Support (see Community). Cables for Corsair products are available from G-Major tech (via eBay). Maybe they also have USB cables.

4xstrips (magnetic) are included.

The set is connected to the SATA cable for the power supply. The whole thing is controlled via the Corsair iCue software.

Hi Matthias Theoretically it is possible. However, you will get a USB2 header to Mini USB with the delivery. Since you need a SATA power for the current, I advise you to use a USB2 header, because otherwise you have to lead the USB from the outside into the case...

Hello, You need a free internal SATA power connection and a free USB2 header connection... Then it should work. Greetings

Hi Mountainmonkey Are you operating the LED strips via both connections or channels? If so, try operating them all as a light chain. In my case, the fan LED hub runs on channel 1 and the "light chain" on channel 2 without any problems. If you still have problems, something could be defective...

A control unit is included, so a commander is not needed.

If the Commander is recognised, then try to make a forced update in the settings of the icue. For me, it solved a similar problem with the Ram.

Hello, I solved this on my PC with the usb hub here: https://www.techmania.ch/de/Product/Detail/20047909?parnr=12833993 Unfortunately, the delivery time is very long at the moment. As an alternative, there is also this hub: NZXT AC-IUSBH-M1 Greetings

Hi, from the led hub (has two slots) you can use one to control your Corsair fans, maximum 6 (is a separate RGB hub for 6 fan connections) and the other led hub you can use for LED strips from Corsair. If you want to control more than 6 fans, leave out the LED strips and connect a 2 RGB hub there, then you can control the RGB of 12 fans through Corsair's ICue software. Greetings

Hoi Maxmustang If I understand Corsair correctly, you have the RGB Fan LED Hub integrated in the case as iCUE Lighting Node CORE. However, this only saves you CHF 14.60 at Digitec: Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub The icue software controls strips and fans synchronously via 2 channels on the Ligting Node Pro (1 channel for fan hub, 1 channel for LED strips). You only need the software to program the desired light pattern. The good thing about it is that the config is saved offline on the unit (I don't know if this also works with the Ligting Node Core) and doesn't have to be reinstalled after restarting the PC, unless you want to change the pattern from time to time. Have fun modding and greetings

Hi, did you also specify in iCue that more than one strip is connected to the RGB hub? If you have connected the strips together, you still have to set this in iCue.

Not sure how you plan to use this on an iMac as it has no transparent parts. It probably doesn't have appropriate connections on the MB, nor is this product compatible with the Corsair Mac software according to the list. If anything, you might use an external solution like Philips Hue.

Yes

Ich denke es werden nur 4 sein. Besitze selber 1 set mit 4 stripes, wwiss jedoch aus foren, dass es max. 4 erkennt. Hier ein ausschnitt aus fem Forum: So I got all my led strips week or so ago and put them around the edges of my monitors and chained 8 strips together. Linked them 4 strips then extension cable then 4 strips and when plugged into the light lighting node pro and only 4 of the strips work. So is the max you can link in a row 4 strips without cheating? Let me explain the cheating, when you switch the channel the strips are plugged into from led strips to LL fans then all the strips light up. When its on hd fans only first 2 on the 8th strip light up and here is my thinking: 6 fans x 12 led lights per =72 total and with light loop fans having 16 leds: 6x16=96. So if each strip is 10 lights guess you could run 9 strips in a row when the channel is set to LL fans.

Hi Linus. I had the same problem with mine because I tried to connect it with the wrong cables. Try it without the connection cables or with the others that are still included. I connected all the stripes directly to each other and the first one with the corresponding connection cable to the distribution box. I hope this is of use to you. :-)

It depends on where you want to install everything and also on your enclosure. The various cable lengths are listed in the specs: https://www.corsair.com/corsairmedia/sys_master/productcontent/WW_LightingNodePRO_QSG_revAD_.pdf

Sali, No fans can be connected to the Lighting Node Pro. It is only intended for LEDs. A Corsair Commander Pro (Corsair Commander Pro (External, 6x) ), for example, is required for fan control. Non-Corsair fans can then also be connected to / controlled on the Corsair Commander Pro. Furthermore, fans with only 3 pins can also be connected.

Hello there would be 4 strips that can be plugged in one after the other and so only the 1 connection is needed for the LED strips. If you still have fans with LEDs, you can add them to the 2 connection.

per usb 2.0 header und fancontroller

Hello, yes there are 4 led strips of 410mm, as on the picture

Lightning Node Pro comes with an LED hub with two connectors. There you can connect the RGB strips of the Lightning Node and the LED hub of your fans. The fans themselves are then connected to their hub, of course. If these two connections are enough for you, you can get by with the Lightning Node Pro. With the Commander Pro, you would also have additional USB ports, connections for temperature sensors and the power supply for the fans. It just depends on what you have in mind.

Hi Your plan will only work to a limited extent, if at all. The LEDs will light up, but the colours and effects will not harmonise. The MoBo header needs a different app than the Corsair ICue app for the Ligtning Node Pro. It's best to buy the Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub as well. Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub You'll have more cables in the box, but you can run all the LEDs synchronously and create effects. I have the LED strips on one channel and 5 LED fans via the fan hub on the second channel. Greetings

Hello Niriuq One is 410mm long, but that includes the connectors. So the LEDs are spread over about 30cm per strip. Greetings Kevin

Hi Pascal I would strongly advise against it. I hardly think that the voltage would be suitable for the strips. They would probably burn out. Either way, the hub is necessary to control the strips, as this is then connected via USB. Unfortunately, only supplying the strips with power via MB is not enough to control them.
