Anybody here used it before? Does it only illuminate the front of the fan? will light passthrough to the back if used colored blade fans?

So far review all only show front. If put in case like Meshify C blackout front intake, will it be bright enough to see it from the TG or only visible from mesh side?

My guess, it's only good enough for the front.

The back, unless you view the fan directly, the light won't be bright at the back. As it is only a frame of light, not illuminating the blades itself. From the back, if you view the fan directly, you can see the colour but it won't be bright enough to be used as ambience for your chassis.

That's my guess. Personally using RGB fans with the illumination at the center of the fan. (Corsair sp120 RGB)

Guess he mounted the Halos on the back instead of the front instead.
