Introduction
Sunbeam is a new company that has invested Research and Development resources in optoelectronics technology. This has led them to produce a range of products based on cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL). Today we test the fans fitted CCFL technology.

First Impressions
The small box I receive belied it numerous contents, inside was a mini cornucopia of delights! Inside was a couple of colored luminescent fans, voltage inverters (needed to crank the CC up), sound activation modules and two types of remote switch, as well as some other items that I'll talk about in a later review.

The packaging was simple but of stout construction, although some of the phrasing on the outside left us slightly amused, as the translation hadn't been 100% successful. Instructions were very minimal indeed, although once you open the cables out, it becomes fairly obvious were everything is suppose to be plugged in.

The fans themselves come with all the necessary cables, an inverter (the inverter can support 2x CCFLs) plus sticky Velcro and screws to aid in the mounting. Additional options to consider at time of purchase are the remote switches which can effect CCFL, and power extender extender cables, should the supplied power cables not reach.
