Cold Cathode Moon Light

[scott67892002]

heat shrink cannot be beaten for covering electical connections very neat and water proof and unlike insulation tape it doesn't start peeling when it gets warm!!!!! not the type of thing most people would have round the house but it worth getting some.

Thought I'd add...
Just seen these on Ebay (UK), seem very easy and cheap.

Apparently just plug in and go... Great for people like me who think a transformer is a car that likes to turn into a robot in its spare time...

just to let any one know i have had these lights from garlicbred on ebay, took 3 days to come and thats overseas. took me all of 1 minute to set up and can even be dimmed by moving the sliding resitor thingy. If you cant be bothered to make your own these are brilliant, will be buying some for the other tank now

hmmm...

If I was to put together a cold cathode kit - would anyone be interested?
UK only as shipment to the US would cost way to much.

 

[debiasir]

sorry mate wasnt saying your way was rubbish i am just too lazy to make them myself.

that guy has sold hundreds of sets so he must make a small profit

sorry the hmmm... was me thinking - not getting anoyed

 

[scott67892002]

how much would you be talking about? i'm pretty good with elecrics but very lazy!!!

 

[smithrc]

not sure - including a power supply with dimmer and bits to fit it...

I'll just have a quick price up..

I could do them Inc postage for £25 a set.

That would get you 2x Cold cathode tubes (12" or 4" for smaller tanks), mains adapter with vairiable brightness and some sticky clips and cable ties to fit to any hood.

Mail me if people are interested

Hi,

Just got mine from the same guy off eBay, I've had the LED's, I asked if he could make the cable a touch longer and he did at no additional cost.

Also got the variable voltage slider on the adapter, so for about £11 or £12 all in I'm happy enough with that, granted I could probably have done it myslef for a fiver, but I cant be bothered to be honest.
