PCToys case light goes fizzle
Just thought I would let you all know my recent experience, this may be one light to overlook when making a decision on buying a case light. I had the PCToys sound sensor light (don't recall any model #) and the wires decided to do a melt down. The sound sensor never worked on this thing to begin with, now it takes a poof on me. I am sure this is a rare incident, but you may want to look at other options when picking out a case light.

Looks like it toasted pretty good. Usually wires do that when they draw too much current, and since it never really worked right to begin with that might be the case.

I'm glad it didn't cause harm to other components!

Damn! How hard can it be to make a decent case light!?
