2 Cathodes in one Inverter - yes or no?

MidnightLamp · 19 Dec 2008 at 22:55

Just bought 4 akasa cathodes, 2 blue and 2 UV. Seen the inverters have two slots in them.

Heard some horror stories about inverters blowing up, so I went for akasa over brandless. Just wondering if I can plug two cathodes into each inverter and whether you reckon that'll up the risks of a mini nuclear meltdown.

thanks

If it has 2 sockets, yes. Thats kinda the point. Dont try and hotwire them together. THAT will end in tears . . . .

That, or a very suspicious RMA, where "it just went pop"

i had two inverters go on me... There was a bright flash, then a smell of burning, followed by a paniced shut down... the thing had practically melted, you couldnt unplug the cathods due to the mess

My two akasa's (running off one inverter) have been happilly running for nearly 4 years now with no problems whatsoever.
