:. Introduction .:

You might ask what exactly is Cold Cathode lighting and how does it compare to Neon tubes that people have been using for a long time now. Well I'll let the masters of Cold Cathode lighting explain what it is.

“Cold Cathode lighting is the next generation of case lighting for a variety of reasons. Unlike automotive neon, our cold cathode kits were created exclusively for use in Personal Computers. Cold Cathode tubes are highly reliable, and can last up to 20 years. This usage of colored CCD is exclusive to PcMods.com and its network of worldwide resellers.

Our CCD kit puts out significantly more light than a neon kit, and are much thinner. In addition to this, the 100% acrylic casing allows an even distribution of light. We have also included an inverter that has been coated with non-conductive material for safety, to reduce the likelihood of electrical shock.”

These lights from pcMods (12inch) and zxmods (4inch)  can turn any ordinary computer into a great looking machine that will amaze not only you but all your friends and the guys at the next LAN party. If you're a moder then you must consider using cold cathode lighting to show off your box because its the best way to go.

Case lighting is starting to become very popular and anyone who considers moding their cases has to include cold cathode lighting in their plans. This is because there are numerous advantages for using cold cathode technology.

First off they consume very little power so you don't need to buy a new power supply just to meet the demands of a case light. Another great advantage of these Cold Cathode lights is that they are so skinny you could fit them almost anywhere in your pc or even outside your pc like behind you LCD or CRT or even under you case to give it an effect that people use under there cars.

The 4" and 12" lights that we reviewed are also incredibly brighter then the neon's that have been used regularly by moders. The lights also provide a vibrant color that illuminates a computer case 360° around. Since the light covers a lot of area only one or two lights are needed in a case to illuminate the entire interior.
