Many of CORSAIR's products are equipped with RGB lighting that allows you to enjoy various light effects, which enhances the immersive experience when playing games.
It is still fresh in our minds that the gaming industry was shaken when CORSAIR released the " iCUE LT100 Smart Lighting Towers," which not only light up the mouse and keyboard, but also the glowing sticks.
Now, CORSAIR and Tokyo Tower are collaborating on a lighting-related project, and you guessed it, it's a lighting-related collaboration!
To coincide with the partnership, the Tokyo Tower will be illuminated with special lighting for one day only, from 18:00 (scheduled) to 24:00 on Saturday, October 2, 2021!
Designed by world-renowned lighting designer Mikiko Ishii with the collaboration of CORSAIR and Tokyo Tower in mind, the official CORSAIR logo will be projected on the south face of the Tokyo Tower's main deck and will shine with an original diamond veil.
The lighting will not be announced until the day the tower is actually lit up, so be sure to check out the special lighting with your own eyes!
There are also plans in the works for CORSAIR products to be sold worldwide after 2022, using the Tokyo Tower and the Tokyo Tower's illuminated design.
The day may come when the Tokyo Tower will shine in the hands of gamers all over the world! Let's wait for further news!
