What do you need to know?

[Reyer]

[slytherock]

Depend on your need and what you want to do with them

You might be better off with cold cathodes.

cold cathodes look really tacky... :/

I have been rethinking the whole CCFL after seing this (http://www.casemodgod.com/ccfl_inverter_rant.htm) article. As for the LED question. There are a few threads in this forum that might help.

There is a search link at the top of the page that might help if these 2 links don't answer your question.

CCFl might not be a big problem if you have a good PSU. It's the fluctuations that make the inverters blow...

Have you looked into EL Wire? It's like LEDs but in string format. Maybe something to look at as an alternative? Frost your windows and stick those in, might look pretty cool. Just a thought, I would rather use LEDs.

El wire is neat stuff I got some a few months ago and have being playing around with it. You can do bends so tight that it touches its self and still works. Also you can do neat effects by winding it around things.

i have seen some cool stuff done with it
