I have few BitFenix Spectre Pro LED fans installed. This fan come with 2-pin LED light control, if you have BitFenix Hydra Pro Fan Controller or any Chassis come with On/Off LED switch, are compatible to turn the fan's LED light on or off.

unfortunately BitFenix Hydra Pro Fan Controller already discontinued and my Chassis do not have the LED On/Off LED switch.

Beside changing to other Chassis which have the switch, please advise if there is any other alternative. thanks.

Not that i know of...I know the Rosewill Thor V2, has the ability to switch on and off, however i got to reading on there site, and heres what i found:

On-the-Fly Light Switching
Another BitFenix first, Spectre LED Fans features on-the-fly LED on/off switching. Simply connect Spectre to either the BitFenix Hydra Pro Fan Controller or Survivor Chassis, and turn your Specter LEDs on and off with a press of a button. Spectre can also work as a regular LED fan with jumper-selectable on and off.

Thats the link to the LED fans that will be controlled:

BitFenix Spectre™/Spectre Pro™ LED Light Control
When coupled with BitFenix Spectre LED or Spectre Pro LED fans, Hydra Pro allows you to control your fans' LEDs with a single button push. What could be simpler?

From my impression you have to have both systems in order to work it though (both the fans and the light/fan controller)

I hope this helps answer your question a little bit better. Also please remember to select your best answer so that others may learn from your thread. Remember that you can contact me anytime about any questions or concerns you might have about things in the future. Thank you for your time and have a pleasant day/night.

Beside Rosewill, couple of Cooler Master Chassis also have the LED light switch. Previously I'm using CM692 which have this button, but now already changed to Raven 2 evo.

I understand that my Spectre Pro LED fans do come with jumper but just inconvenient to switch anytime as I want.

I really wish to buy BitFenix Hydra Pro Fan Controller locally but as mentioned, local distributor already replied me this controller already EOLed.

hopefully if there is any third party custom make ready 5.25" Bay Panel with On/Off switch or last resort is DIY myself :( (noobie poor skill user here)
