Just curious, has anyone ever had a cathode transformer catch fire? I keep hearing claims about how horrible cold cathode transformers are, in general not just Oznium's. I had two pair of blue cathodes in my car when I first got it, about 4 years ago, and had them in there for a year or so and had NO problems with fires. These were the real old cathodes too. So just wondering if anyone ever experienced anything like this. Thanks

I've had one die on me and that's because it was outside and I did a half-ass waterproof job on it.

Never had a problem with them in cars, scooters, and pocket rockets.

I had two transformers catch fire from Oznium, they are cheap and the fuse thats in them doesn't do ****. I no longer use them, at all. I prefer leds anyways.

I've never had a problem with any transformer I've gotten from here, Logisys or Flowlighting.
