Curious.. Reading about LEDs.. and then Java's Lazer LEDs.. I started to think about the Cold Cathodes Fans that are aviable for the PC.

Here is what they look like:




They are 80mm(aprox 3.5") .. Can these be put into the vents? Headlights(cheap mans version of Halos) or anything else where light is possible? more info: http://www.overclockers.com.au/article.php?id=138229

Now, I don't know much about Electronics so I was hoping someone could help me with it (BlackTib, I'm looking in your general direction).. The come with a Balist(like any 'neon').. will it be able to work in a vehicle enviroment, using Auto'power'.. instead of Pc'power).. catch my drift.

...but yes you can wire them directly to a power source. You can use them in the hatch to help cool your amps too if you do a custom enclosure. wink.gif

I was thinking the same thing when Java brought this up a few months back, I really like them.

Well, someday, someone will make them the right size.

I have many cold cathodes, from my case modding days.. and I find the blue tubes, shine brighter then the neons.. hence they follow the same 12v as a PC, i am wworried about the total current/amperage (i know sfa about electronics)..
