These CCFL kits all share some pretty common components. Going from left to right, first we have the CCFL tubes. These tubes are colored green and blue with power leads that are approximately 7½ inches long. Next to the light tubes we have 2 sections of Velcro tape which can be used to mount the light tubes. The main power bundle contains one male and one female Molex connector. An improvement over our last product demo is the power inverter, which this one is entirely sealed rather than being covered by a piece of nylon covered with Velcro. Velcro strips are included to hold the inverter wherever you intend to place it. There are terminal lugs crimped onto two leads of wire which will connect to a toggle switch to allow the lights to be controlled from outside the enclosure. To assist with the switch installation a grommet can be used to size the hole you will need to make. That same grommet can then be placed between the switch and the mounting surface to hide any blemishes and to help the switch fit more snugly.

     They earn their name Cold Cathode because of their extremely LOW power consumption. These lights are using only approximately 2.85 watts which translates into LOW heat generation. At the rated .5milli Amps' of  current draw, that would put the voltage somewhere around 570 volts DC. As an added statistic, you can expect these lights to last around 15,000 hours which comes out to about 624 days.

     And now for something completely different, lets bring some psychedelic funk to the PC!  We have a single UV Black-Light CCFL tube to show off. A full size tube measuring almost 12½ inches long with a power lead that measures 12 inches long. Well, the cliché a picture is worth a thousand words is certainly true here.

      And there it is in all of its college dorm room spender. Adding to the persona we have my terrible finger painting of "Club OC.net" done in, what else -- but Liquid Tide laundry detergent. This light had things glowing all over the room once the lights were turned off! Added with glow-in-the-dark cables, this should be on every case modders' "to have" list for Christmas.
