SPCR

hello
i have a question i originally wanted to install 4 ccfl case lights with 2 invertors from logisys 12" but it would not work. the pc would not boot. kinda scary. it only accepts 1 inverter 2 ccfl lights.


second, after about 2-3 years of lights it stop giving off light. what went wrong?

these things are extremely fragile. the invertor i can replace but if i try to move the lights they always break

Don't use CCFL lighting in cases. It's really really bad for heat output and just increases the amount of case ventilation required.

IMO its very beautiful.

from what i read, it is like 200+ volts but it only uses 8 watts of power which doesn't sound like much heat. the light is cold to touch.

the inverter though is hot no doubt.

Maybe it's time to move on to LED stripes, can be bought for cheap on ebay from chinese people

AFAIK the bulbs seem ok. i guess its an invertor problem.
