Hi guys, my build is nearly done I got some uv tubing to run my coolent, what lights do people use to help the uv really glow?

Thanks

At the risk of sounding sarcastic, UV tubing that it is reactive to UV light. UV stands for UltraViolet light. You cant actually see that but the UV lights often emit purple too. So you are looking for UV lights. Hope this helps.

If not then perhaps i misunderstood the question.

I didn't know if there was different types or that which is better

Darkside LEDs are very good and VERY bright. They also do a UV range that works well from what I've seen. I don't think OCUK stock them, but Mayhem sells them.

I would definitely look into UV LED strips as these can cover a much larger area than traditional cold cathodes and are much easier to make look pretty.

Some of the pictures you see may have been enhanced though, so don't expect all results to be the same!
