dystryr Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I recently bought a full setup, got myself a commander pro a 3 set of LL120 fans + lighting node pro and then two sets of the RGB Led kit. The LED Kit specifies that its only for use with the lighting node pro, but the LNP uses 3 pin connectors, and the RBG Kit uses 4. If I hookup the LEDs to the fan hub, they do nothing but remain a static red color. What am I missing? figuratively and/or literally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a read of the below thread http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=173880 maybe you missed something... please don't ask questions there though.. come back to this thread :) Welcome aboard Hi there, thanks for the response. Yes, I have corsair Link, and my 3 fans work fine but I cant do anything with my LED strips. Right now, i've just got my 3 fans on my fan hub ports 1, 2 & 3 and i've got my LED strips on port 4 (mostly just so they are actually on) I'm very confused. the LED's connectors dont fit anywhere but the fan controller, so I'm wondering if im missing a cable or something? the LED strips are 4 pin male/female, and the LNP is a 3 pin connector. EDIT: Also I guess I'm not very clear on the LNP, is it supposed to show up on Corsair Link as its own item? Right now I just see my Commander pro, and the H115i i've got.

Zotty Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 OK first.... you have LED strips plugged into the RGB Fan LED Hub?? If so.... Number 10. in the Url I sent you in My first post ;).. 10. Pro Strips will NOT work in the Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub and will result in a damaged Pro Strip should you attempt this.

Zotty Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 one of the led channels on the Commander Pro or Lighting Node Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dystryr Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 one of the led channels on the Commander Pro or Lighting Node Pro Sorry apparently i'm just really clueless. The cables I have for my LED strips do not fit in the LED channel ports for either the LNP or the Commander Pro. Do you have any pictures or anything I can reference for a real-life setup?

DevBiker Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Can you post pictures of your LED strips? How did you purchase them? Did they come with the NoPro or did they come separately? If separately, how many came in a single package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are for the older Commander Mini and Lighting Node.. To be fair.. Corsair should move those from the Corsair Link Hardware section of the store to the Corsair Link Spares and Accessories section to avoid this sort of confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dystryr Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Going into this I didnt realize there was different versions of the lighting node. (although i guess the name "pro" sort of implies that). Oh well, live and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, live and learn. yeah the Devil is in the Detail lol.. but I see how easy this could happen given an older not compatible product is in amongst a newer range. Worth contacting support dude.

Corsair should move those from the Corsair Link Hardware section of the store to the Corsair Link Spares and Accessories section to avoid this sort of confusion I can see how it would be confusing to new buyers, I know I was the first time I was looking at the section.

rschissler Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 it does state compatibility duder Compatibility Corsair Commander Mini Corsair Link Lighting Node Yes, but if new to Corsair stuff and you see Commander this, Commander that, Commander some other thing, most people would think it must all be compatible. The fact that the OP had to come here to the forum to find out, must mean something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the OP had to come here to the forum to find out, must mean something. I agree dude and stated so above... To be fair.. Corsair should move those from the Corsair Link Hardware section of the store to the Corsair Link Spares and Accessories section to avoid this sort of confusion but in answer to you saying about compatibility.. Corsair should also say NOT compatible with the Commander Pro. It does state compatibility on the product page.... The issue here is that it is on the wrong store page.... should be in spares and accessories rather than the current Link Hardware section......
