NZXT HUE2 Ambient RGB Lighting Kit
​
Here we have another lighting kit, this one from NZXT. I've been on this trying out different lighting systems from different manufacturers and I hadn't done much with NZXT other than use their CAM software to monitor system temps, I do like the CAM Frontend for monitoring my system.
​
I recently tested the ASUS ROG Terminal and I have been using the Corsair LS100 as my daily driver, this falls in line with those products. It's main selling point is to synchronize lighting with the on screen action same as the ASUS ROG Terminal and the Corsair LS100.
​
This product also allows different RGB devices and accessories from NZXT to connect. It can be used as a hub for internal lighting if your motherboard otherwise doesn't support it.
​
This Kit comes in several sizes depending on your monitor and includes the controller and LED strips. The controller has 4 independent channels supporting up to 40 LEDs or 6 accessories per channel. The device is controlled by NZXT's CAM Software.
​
Overall I found the HUE2 to be about comparable to the other products i've tested. the build quality is good, it looks decent and produced similar results. I like the CAM Software better the ASUS AuraSync, but I still prefer the Corsair ecosystem at the end of the day.
