Wow fifty watts? That is a bold claim as what can it be used for? Well imagine you are a water cooling enthusiast and you want to attach a great many high powered fans. However let us not stop there and look outside of the box and think further than most. Why not attach your water cooling pumps, your cold cathode inverters, LED’s as well as your fans? With this amount of power the sky is not just the limit, it is only the beginning.

The packaging is pretty much the same as all of Lamptron’s previous products that are along the same vein . Sporting dark smouldering looks, with the product image emblazoned on the box and the specifications upon the rear.  The front of the packaging sports an image of the FC/9 with multiple images at the rear of the same product but demonstrating the differing LED lighting that can be used with the product. The side panel is emblazoned with Lamptron’s logo and upon the rear has the items list in conjunction with the specifications.

 

Next we slide the outer packaging off and the inner box is revealed. Note that the latter mentioned has the same looks as the outer sleeve, but without the photographs. Upon opening the inner packaging we can see plenty of foam to protect the contents.

As clearly shown the accessories include a catalog detailing Lamptron’s products, printed sheet of instructions, bag of screws, one jumper connector and finally a series of fan cables.

Let us now have a detailed look at the controller itself.
