In the package we find the inverter and the El strip. As we can see on the right picture the El strip is really flat and fits pretty much everywhere but a warning DO NOT!! bend the El strip or you will break it.

They have nicely put heatshrink around the Elstrip and the connector cables. On the bottom of the inverter we find some double adhesive tape so you can put the inverter on anywhere you want.

The inverter is really nice and well made in hard black plastic. It does not make any noise at all and does not create heat so your case is safe 
The El strip does not get hot either by the way. Finally on the right picture we have the El strip in action and as we can see it’s pretty bright. All that stops you now is that you cannot bend it and your own imagination
Conclusion:
This El strip is really good and I cannot find anything bad with it really. But there is still tons of places where you can put it. Want a extreme mod? Then mod it into your screen As usual Sunbeam products rock with good packaging and well made products. The inverter is noiseless and the Elstrip does not create heat at all- it’s also available in many different colors as red, green, yellow, blue etc. You can also cut it into different lengths which gives you many more possibilities… All in all this product is a killer and gets 5 out of 5 and a recommendation for a great product which gives alot of new modding possibilities…..
Pros:
+ Well packed
+ Does not create heat
+ Fairly bright
+ Noiseless inverter
+ Available in many colors
