nobody Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 i've read somewhere that cold cathode lights have higher light intensity than leds at the same price so i am thinking of doing moonlight fixtures with cold cathodes instead of leds. Cold cathode fluorescent tubes are all over the places in Sim Lim Tower and Sim Lim Square. You can also savage them from some broken scanner, LCD display etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, they look bright on monitor only after passing thru diffuser sheets. I rem they have a low content of mercury?? maybe some experts can comment..

nobody Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Coslayer intends to use CCFL as a moonlight. As such, spectrum in not important and there are CCFL that is relatively bright, definitely bright enough as a "moonlight". I agree that CCFL is more fragile. As a LED fanatic, I'll strongly suggest using LED............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
