    Lamps Electronics Cold Cathodes Review



    Testing:
    The first thing that I noticed when I plugged these in a Molex was that they are very bright! I would say that they’re almost twice as bright as those that I’ve received from Sunbeam! After that I mounted one of them in my case. The Velcro for the inverter is fine, but the ties and clamps for the CCFLs aren’t so good I think. Mounting them with Velcro (just like the kits from Sunbeam) would be a better idea than the zip ties and clamps which are harder to remove.

    the cathodes
    Here they are!

    Lights on!
    Lights on



    Some UV reactive stuff
    Hehe (just a little bit eye candy by the way) the plastic boxes of the cathodes, the green acrylic housing and even the blue cathode were UV reactive


    I let them all burn for almost an hour and when I came back I noticed that the lamps felt quite hot, the inverters only a little. Compared to Sunbeams CCFLs these run much hotter, but hey they’re almost twice as bright so I think you’ll have to choose between brightness and heat.



    + The Pro’s:
    Very bright
    Excellent build quality
    Plastic boxed inverter
    Inverter has male and female Molex connector
    Inverter has room for 2 lamps
    Red looks red an not pinkish or orange


    - The bad stuff:
    The mounting system for the CCFLs
    Sound sensitivity dial is hard to reach
    Lamps become quite hot



    I was very impressed with the brightness of the lamps and they get a 9/10!
