Installation & Performance |
The most common size for CCFLs are 12”. The wiring harness measures
about 16” from the bulb to the inverter. The inverter casing
adds about another 3.5” and another 16” of wiring from
the other side of the inverter to the actual molex. The total wire
length came to about 36” or 3’. This gives the modder
a ton of length to work with. This makes it nice for me since I own
the DeceptiMod which is an Antec server case. I was able to put the
CCFLs anywhere in the case with no restrictions on the wire length.
To connect or disconnect the second CCFL to the
dual inverter, first unplug the CCFL. Do not open the hobby box
with the CCFL plugged into the PSU, or you may receive an unpleasing
shock. Worst off you could possibly blow your brand new CCFL. You
open the small hobby box by gently pushing a notch on the end. The
hobby box comes off the inverter completely.

At one end there are small connections for the different CCFLs. By
gently pulling on these, they are removed from the inverter. Once
you get the CCFLs together in the inverter, you just clamp the hobby
box back over the inverter. Make sure the hobby box closes tightly
over the inverter and you are ready to install.

I laid the CCFLs on the floor outside of my mod. Included are a Green,
Red, Tri-colored and UV CCFL. The red CCFL has a Red acrylic cover
to enhance the true bold and deep red. The green is the same with
a green acrylic color. The tri-color CCFL has the traditional clear
acrylic cover as did the UV CCFL.

I already had 2 blue CCFLs in my case. I did not turn these off, since
it would be difficult to take down. I attached the 4 new Lights Electronics
CCFLs to 2 molex plugs in my Antec DeceptiMod
case and switched them on. The CCFLs immediately shined bright. The
red and green were true bold and deep in color. Unfortunately the
tri-colored CCFL was not as true and deeply colored as the others
due to the lack of colored acrylic coloring. You can see the difference
the in the tri-colored when compared to the red and green CCFLs. The
UV does not appear bright, but it was reactive.
