Packaging

Our
laserbay arrived in a small yet well packaged box labeled "Fragile" to ensure
it would arrive undamaged. That is exactly what we got.
Included with the Laserbay is an instruction sheet (including pictures) and 4
installation screws.
Let's
take a closer look!
Design

The
bay insert itself is made of hard plastic. The project box which
houses the LED's is made of a thin sheet of white plastic and is covered by
another piece which is glued on top of it. Although this thin
plastic may look a bit odd, it is all put together quite nicely. The
front of the project box houses three ultra bright LED's. The
color is clearly marked with a sticker. Our sample came with blue
LED's. The power cable is nice and long and has a molex plug so you can
easily connect it to your PSU.

The
letters are neatly cut into the front panel which is roughly 11.5mm thick and
is available in black or beige. We were not provided information as to
exactly what process is used to cut the lettering. You can order a
laserbay with your choice of up to 11 letters or numbers (including spaces).
They can only be in upper case and the style of the lettering will be like the
one your are seeing in these pictures. The available characters
are as follows:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X
Y Z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 . : - – ( ) / \

For
the best possible lighting effect, the front panel containing the cutouts is
mounted on front of what seems to be a thin clear plastic layer so that the
LED's will shine evenly across all characters rather than having the light
shine right through the characters. The picture to your right is
one taken of the back side of the Laserbay while powered on. You can see
how the light is equally distributed across all the characters. A very nice touch.
