Desk Lighting.

[NachT]

This part of the forum seemed the most relavent place to post this lol.

I've seen a few pics of peoples set-ups on the forum and a canny few people have, what it looks like to me, desktop neons /cathodes? the nice neon effect lighting shining from behind their desks etc.

I was woundering, are these "desktop neons" ( I don't know what they're called or what they are infact lol ) pluged into the mains, or have people just extended some cable outside their case and behind their desk ?

I've searched google, but had no luck finding a mains powered type of little neons.

Could any one help me out, they look cool and i'd like to fit 1 or 2 behind my desk


Thanks all

Cool thanks

That's a great idea, didn't know about PCI molex things

I have just one more question. I heard that either cathode lights or neons, i can't remember what type... but i heard that one type of fluresent light can give you skin cancer? Is this true, and if so is it neons or cathode? or somthing completely different

Hey messiah, that looks great!

I was reading the thread about your project earlier, realy nice work there

The brightness of those lights are fine from what i can see, adds a nice effect when it's dark

Btw, can you use any type of cable to make an extension? and what would be the best type to use?

Hey mark's

That PCI external power bracket is exactly what i need!

I've looked around for one and have only came accross one site that sells them, and they're out of stock, i've also tryed ebay, but there's none on there either heh

no asking for competitors please


Cheers

Thanks for the product name, got it ok it's a great lil gadget

I do think OCUK would sell a lot of those if they had them.

About the skin cancer question i ast earlier on, are you guys posative no neon/cathode/UV lights can give you skin cancer or whatnot? I'v seen a UV light with twice as much power than standard UV case lights, wont this effect you?

I ask because, were i am going to put one of these would be directly shining onto my skin ( under my desk, to glow up the keyboard shelf )

Cheers!

I have 2x cathodes in my case ATM, these other 2 for external use should be much more strain i would have thought. My PSU is a Hyper.

Thanks for all your help mate, much appriciated!

Yeah it's a Type-R.

Would it be safer to power the comp up, turn one set on, wait a few seconds then turn the other set on?
